Intermittent audio stuttering when using the "Control audio via OBS" feature #237

@NarryG

Description

@NarryG

When using the "control audio via obs" feature of the plugin, audio will occasionally stutter. The stutter isn't completely reliable, but happens enough to be an issue that can damage the user experience when using the feature.
If this feature is disabled, the audio plays back reliably with no stuttering.

Platform

Operating system and version: Windows 10 2004
OBS Studio version: 25.0.8

Expected Behavior

Audio played back through the browser source should play consistently without pops/stutters

Current Behavior

Audio played back through the browser source will sometimes pop/stutter

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an empty scene
  2. Add a browser source
  3. Add the default Streamlabs notification as the URL
  4. Click "Control audio via OBS"
  5. Click the notification preview button on the Streamlabs website until stutter occurs.

This was brought up on Discord and it was stated it'd most likely be fixed when CEF is updated.

There will be a new audio API used for browser source. Might work better. I'm not sure there's currently a straightforward solution to your issue. No eta though on when we'll use this new cef api because we're waiting for some other features to be merged in cef

I'll keep that in mind though to check with new cef
