Avoid capturing the unprocessed voice twice

If both the processed OVR-DummyHeadMic audio and the OBS microphone input are enabled, the unprocessed voice and spatial audio will both be streamed. As a rule, mute the regular microphone input in OBS.

If game audio or notification sounds are also captured​

Audio Output Capture captures all sound sent to the selected device. If you do not want to include sounds from other apps, use a dedicated virtual audio device.
