Interesting as I am on Win 10 and allegedly not compatible for an upgrade !! May be TPM related but not dug very deeply yet as no plans to buy a new PC just for Win 11. Stayed on Win7 until I had no choice.
Anyway, you’ve given me some ideas to try post OM but for now I’m sticking with KISS.
I have watched videos on YT which show you how to upgrade old equipment that is not “upgrade” ready. They say it is possible and works, but I haven’t done it, so don’t take this as an endorsement. Certainly not something to do before the OM.
I have learned how infuriating trying to get this stuff to work is, spending more time fiddling than playing. I have some USB Mics that I can get to work in Reaper and Audacity. They seem to be very quiet through zoom, and I don’t have the option of a preamp. May give it a last attempt today before going back to a basic set up.

Sometimes basic and simple for the Open Mic is the most sensible route. My plan going forward will be to build the backing tracks in Reaper as I’ve done in the past but then render the output and load that onto my looper which feeds direct to my AI. Zoom is quite happy to take all that plus me and the guitar as a bundle. And I’ll save hours avoiding this rabbit hole I started ! However, there must be something simple causing my issues, so come Sunday I’ll be digging again ! Only because I don’t like unsolved problems.
Spend this week rehearsing if you don’t get a result today, that why I drew the line yesterday.
Cheers

I was working on setting up OBS & Zoom for open mic and OBS suggested updating to 28.0.1 which I did. The ASIO plug in no longer works so I checked to see if there is an update and tried reinstalling the latest one. It did not work. Has anyone else loaded this update?
Apparently, there’s a new ASIO plugin version that needs to be installed:
I’ve not tried this myself.
Cheers,
Keith
Thanks for highlighting this Mark. Not something I had encountered yet but thanks also to Keith for providing the potential fix.
OK, this is how to install it. It’s a bit of a faff, I’m afraid.
If you had the original win-asio plugin installed, remove this first. This can be found at:
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit
Make sure OBS isn’t running and then delete the two files “win-asio.dll” and “win-asio.pdb”. Leave the file manager window open as you will need it later.
Then check that OBS 28 starts with no error message. After starting OBS, if all looks good, close it.
Then download the 7z file from the link I posted above. You can also use this direct link:
https://github.com/foxx1337/obs-asio/releases/download/v3.1.2-bassasio/obs-asio.v312-bassasio.7z
This downloads a compressed 7z archive. You will need a decompressor program to open it. I used this: 7-Zip.
When you have extracted the archive, you should get a folder called obs-asio.v312-bassasio which contains files as shown below:
Copy the dll files and the pdb file into the C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit folder that you previously deleted the win-asio files from.
Then restart OBS and, hopefully, it should be working.
Cheers,
Keith
Thanks Keith, I will give this a shot later.
Well, I have an update. I deleted the 2 old files and copied in the 3 files from the link. The original message did go away after deleting the file and did not reappear after copying the new ones. At first I didn’t see the ASIO Input Capture option, but there is now asioinput option at the bottom of the list.
I can select this but the UMC ASIO DRIVER option is greyed out. I tried selecting both that and the Realtek ASIO option and regardless I get the following error.
I read the get-bassasio.txt file which stated the following.
Download bassasio v14 from https://www.un4seen.com/download.php?bassasio14
Extract the 64 bit bassasio.dll from within the archive (the path in the archive is x64\bassasio.dll) here.
I figured what the heck and tried it. There was no difference.
Mmmmm ? Think I’ll avoid any version updates on OBS for sometime !!
Sorry to hear that.
I had no obvious issues with my setup although I didn’t spend much time with it as I honestly don’t use OBS with MS Windows at all.
I think that’s the best advice for most people. I imagine the win-asio plugin in my first post will eventually be updated to support OBS v28. It’s probably best to wait until that’s available and confirmed to be working.
TBH I would be careful updating any application or operating system without reviewing the impact, especially if there are plugins involved.
The good news is, you can always get the previous version here: OBS Studio v27.2.4
Plus I suspect that the instructions for the bassasio plugin will be a bit much for most people.
Cheers,
Keith
Mark, if you’re having OBS ASIO issues, you might want to use a DAW (eg reaper, Ableton) as well as OBS. That way the DAW does the ASIO processing.
There is a guide here: Open Mic Tech Talk - For Advanced Users : How to connect your DAW to OBS and send audio and video to Zoom - #2 by TheMadman_tobyjenner
@Majik @jkahn Yeah, I figured that I would go back to the earlier version. Since we are going to be traveling I probably won’t spend much time on it before the next OM. I will probably keep it simple with Zoom to try and avoid another technical fail. After OM11 I will work on improving our setup.
A quick update…
The lastest version now supports OBS 28. I’ve not tried it myself yet.
Cheers,
Keith
Thanks for that Keith. I’ll keep the previous version as a backstop but will give the update a try later today.
Mmm
Fired up ok after ignoring this error and AI connected via ASIO Input Capture. Not tried recording yet, as intend to look into these first.
OK there would appear to be a compatability list with links to updates, where available. So working through that at the moment.
One down two to go
Although I have not used it for a while, Advanced Scene Switcher was my main concern with the failed plugin load but v28 seems to have picked up the updated version.
Direct link below if you need it.
Advanced Scene Switcher Releases 1.19.1
Will look at the other two now but guess everyone may see different plugin rejections based on what they have loaded.
Update, neither obs-virtualoutput or win-asio are on the list of updated plugins.
Found some forums referencing the former catered for the use of multiple virtual cameras which is no longer supported. But as I am only using one I can confirm that the new version provides video input to Zoom via the Start Virtual Camera option as before.
I suspect win-asio is also redundant so both of these plugins can be removed from the OBS plugins folder, in order to stop the error message being generated on start up.
Both the dll and pdb files will need to be removed.
Directory on Win10 is
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit or 32bit as applicable.
I copied these to a Removed Plugin folder away from the OBS Studio program folder just in case but all seems to be working.
So if you get different plugins flagged as failed to load, check against the Compatibility List above and update accordingly. If they don’t exist on that list now, I would suggest Googling their individual functionality and making a decision on upgrading to v28 or staying on the latest v27.
FWIW I found a useful guide to the new v28 features here. OBS Studio V28 a couple of shortcuts and virtual cam options look interesting but I am likely to keep it vanilla !
I’ll try and record OBS to Zoom later to check all is ok - had enough of past last minute OM tech issues - and if all is ok, I’ll drop a confirmation note here.
Hope that helps.
Onwards and downwards 
So first attempt to record in OBS threw up this error. Oh good I thought, the gift that keeps on giving ! What’s next !!
Off to a couple of forums and found a fix in the OBSProject forum (natch). So all you need to do if you get this, is to change the Setting>Output>Recording setting for ENCODER from Hardware (NVENC) to Software as below. Same for |Streaming if you are using that.
Have now successfully recorded a video in OBS, so next will be to check integration with Zoom.
Which will be later this evening but from what I can see OBS v 28 now looking stable, with ASIO inputs for audio.
