"Control audio via OBS" on Browser source and audio monitoring issue
Bear with me.
1. I have TTS alerts set up with Tangia. It's a browser source in OBS. If I don't tick the box that says "control audio via OBS" then the audio just plays to my "Wave Link - System" audio output. However, that's also where my Game audio comes through my capture card, and I have the OBS mixer set to -13db so my game audio is properly balanced and not too loud. That's great for my game audio, but it's too quiet for the Tangia alerts.
2. So I figured I should go ahead and tick the box that says "control audio via OBS." That way I get a dedicated mixer for Tangia and I can leave the volume slider at 0db.
3. I can adjust the volume of the TTS alerts on Tangia's website, and I balanced the audio so that it comes in around -15db, which feels good for these alerts. If I send a test alert via Tangia's website, the Tangia audio mixer in OBS reads -15db, but my "Wave Link - System" audio still shows activity around -25db.
Here's where I get confused.
4. If I hit record in OBS and then watch the recording in MPC, the output volume will NOT be -15db. It will either be -20db if I set Tangia's audio to "Monitor Only" (slightly more quiet) -- OR it will be -2db if I set Tangia's audio to "Monitor and Output" (way too loud). (And yes, I have MPC's volume set to 100%).
Why is it not -15db? I believe every other audio source plays back at the level I see in OBS whenever I watch a recording.
