The "Use device timestamps" doesn't show in the latest OBS Studio version, is it there anywhere else?

Did you look everywhere ? there's like 3 different menus for audio properties. I don't even remember how to get there...

<p>I have an interesting problem:<br>
When I stream to Twitch (or record), my desktop audio goes out of sync with the video over time. The microphone is perfectly synced the whole time.<br>
Both <a href="https://obsproject.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OBS Studio</a> and "playback device->Speakers" have 44.1kHz.<br>
I have device timestamps on, started with it off, changed it because of the desync.<br>

# OBS Studio: desktop audio falls out of sync

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-25)

I have an interesting problem:  
When I stream to Twitch (or record), my desktop audio goes out of sync with the video over time. The microphone is perfectly synced the whole time.  
Both [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/) and "playback device->Speakers" have 44.1kHz.  
I have device timestamps on, started with it off, changed it because of the desync.
