Assuming your alerts used to work, and are setup correctly to have sounds play:

Check under OBS/Settings/Audio/Advanced and ensure the monitoring device is set correctly.

Also check Edit/Advanced Audio Properties and ensure the 'AlertBox' source is setup correctly for audio monitoring.

Lastly, you could also right click the speaker icon in the system tray and select 'Open Sound Settings'. Scroll down to advanced sound options and select App volume and device preferences. Here you can route all of the OBS application sounds to a specific audio output device.

You should be able to go to the Streamlabs website and click the test alert buttons as much as you want until you can get the sounds routed correctly.

Thank you for the instructions. After following them, my alerts are still not making noise at all. I also tried re-uploading the sound files which did not work either. I tried uninstalling and re-installing OBS fresh which also did not work.

Hi hi.
I seem to be having the same issue with my own OBS.
I never touch my audio settings once they are fixed up properly and work fine.

yes my audio properties audio monitoring setting is on the correct setting. and the monitoring and output is what its selected on.
yes as well to where my settings are selected on the proper output in obs.
my computer settings all have correct inputs and outputs. and are routed correctly.

I never had this problem before the 27.2.4 update.
Now i struggle with this, and my only solution seems to be if i were to listen to my own stream while I stream. which is really frustrating.

I looked to see if there was a fix in the list for the future update of vers 28 and I do not see anything fix of this.

Would like some legit help on this since this shouldnt happen, and hasnt happened before the update of 27.2.4

Thanks.

so I had this EXACT same issue.

Did you update to Windows 11 by chance? Because I utilized the update for 28, having windows 11 now and everything works great after the update.

Maybe its the same Problem i have... Pleas try to open the Windows Audio Controlpanel and close it again.
After that my Sound works as usual. Can any1 confirm this?

(i have different sound devices for everything... Mic, Game, TS/Discord, Alerts , Music...)

I'm having the same issue. Everything is set to my iFi dac/amp combo. I had zero issues until then. I'm still having these issues today. Even under my sound settings in windows, my output sound is set directly to OBS to use only that channel. It still reverts to my stereo speakers instead of the selected output.
