- Check your OBS log and look for
[CoreAudio encoder]: Adding CoreAudio AAC encoder - [File] > [Settings] > [Output] > [Streaming] tab or [Recording] tab > [Audio Encoder] > CoreAudio AAC should be available to select.
CoreAudio offers better quality AAC streams than ffmpeg AAC. Even the developers of HandBrake acknowledge it. This is a superior choice for streaming. However, for recordings you should use ffmpeg Opus if possible. It's even better quality. If you need the AAC for the compatibility, then CoreAudio should be used for recordings as well.
