BTW - not all interfaces support streaming in the ways you might want them to.

For example, my interface, a 1st generation Focusrite 18i8, does not have a virtual 'loopback' feature, so streaming to video services like Facebook, YouTube, etc. does NOT work without a physical hardware loop back, if you want to stream more than just a stereo 2 track output. With the 3rd generation of this particular interface, Focusrite built into the hardware and software controls to allow a virtual loop back and doesn't require you to do that through routing a physical hardware out to in (Focusrite recommends using the SPDIF out-->in for the hardware loop back).

I kept thinking it was drivers and the particular instance of OBS I was trying to use to accomplish this. Nope, it IS the interface that doesn't allow for it.

Here's Focusrite's article on the topic:

Btw, Mike Halloran - are you the gentleman who used to be a radio DJ in the Detroit market back in the 80's/90's? If so, I have listened to your voice for hours in the past! Thanks for spinning the great tunes!
