OBS 32.1.1 Out
OBS Studio 32.1.1 was released this cycle, keeping the free, open-source streaming and recording tool current across Windows, macOS and Linux. (neowin.net) That matters for creators because even incremental OBS updates can fix compatibility with capture devices, plugins, and platform APIs that break live productions. (neowin.net)
The OBS Project pushed a hotfix, OBS Studio 32.1.1, on April 2, 2026 to fix several immediate bugs in the recently redesigned audio mixer. (obs-versions.com) The update restores missing interface elements and visual cues — it brings back tooltips and toolbar actions for the audio mixer, fixes incorrect colors, prevents disabled audio sources from cluttering the mixer, and corrects the mixer's minimum width so controls stop getting cut off. (linuxcompatible.org) Technically, the release also addresses audio deduplication mistakes — the feature that prevents the same sound from being heard twice was improperly applied when an audio output capture source was set to "monitor" (meaning the output device was both played back and captured), and the hotfix fixes that duplication logic. (videohelp.com) This hotfix follows the larger 32.1 update that overhauled the audio mixer (adding vertical layouts, pinned sources that always stay visible, and other UI changes) and was first published in March 2026, so 32.1.1 is a targeted cleanup released shortly afterward. (obsproject.com) (github.com) Builds for Windows, macOS and Linux are available from the OBS downloads and mirror sites, with typical installer packages for current desktop platforms in the ~150–190 MB range depending on platform and packaging.
