PC wired to VM as you suggested.

Okay so we can rule out the router then, it'll either be the VM hub, the line or your streaming settings as your speeds are perfectly capable of dual streaming

Personally I think it might be the streamlabs servers. The way it works is rather than overloading my pc by it handling the data to two different platforms, the data is sent to the streamlabs servers which then distributes it to the platforms.

By doing solo platforms, I'm streaming directly to the servers myself rather than through streamlabs via dual output.

That's definitely a possibility, in that case, try streaming one using streamlabs and one using OBS and see if it works without issue

My word I think I figured it out, basically, my youtube stream is using it's own stream key and url so my pc is trying to stream to youtube directly and via streamlabs at the same time.

Ah so it's trying to overlap itself, that's crazy it would even allow that to happen, well done on figuring it out!

I know, you'd think it'd be smart enough to choose one over the other and let's not celebrate yet, I need to test this theory.

Just a quick update, seems I was right in the beginning, there was stability issues at streamlabs. Dual output seemed fine tonight but I'll get back to you maybe Friday to check.

Well an entire week without any issues so looks like it all came down to stability issues on streamlab's side. Thank you for the support though Fraser, hopefully you won't have to hear from me in the distant future.

Really glad to hear you found the solution, thanks for the update, no worries at all, any questions/issues just let us know. Have a great weekend!
