How to make background music loop without gaps in OBS

That little gap in OBS isn't a settings bug — the audio file simply isn't seamless, so OBS replays the silence or level jump at its ends on every loop. Fix the file with Loop Music in about 20 seconds, keep the Media Source's Loop option on, and the background music runs with no gaps at all.

OBS loop gaps: common questions

Why OBS music gaps on repeat — and the one-step fix.

How do I make background music loop without gaps in OBS?

Make the file seamless in Loop Music, then keep the Media Source's Loop option enabled. Loop Music removes the silence and level jump at the ends, so OBS repeats the track with no gap.

You don't need to change any OBS settings — the gap lives in the file, and fixing the file fixes the loop.

Why is there a pause when my OBS music loops?

There's silence at the start or end of the file, so OBS replays that empty space every cycle. Loop Music trims the audio to where it actually meets, removing the pause.

This is common with exported tracks that include a fade-out or a moment of silence at the end.

Is the gap an OBS bug or a settings issue?

Neither — it's the file. OBS faithfully repeats whatever you give it, so a raw track with mismatched ends will always gap. Loop Music fixes it at the source in about 20 seconds.

The same file will gap in VLC or a browser too, which confirms the problem isn't OBS.

Do I need to re-download my music?

No — just re-upload the file you already have to Loop Music and download the seamless version. No re-recording or manual editing required.

The free plan covers five loops a month, enough to clean up your existing stream beds.

Close the gap in your OBS loop

Fix the file free in about 20 seconds and let OBS loop your music with no pause.
