Question / Help 1st Timer: screen only captures still image, no video, and no mains audio

Sorry for the vague message, here's my setup:

OBS records mic audio fine, I'm running my desktop mains audio outs to a mixer, which feeds back in to two audio inputs which I have set for input in OBS. I'm still not getting desktop audio (ie, from an app I'm playing back while I talk over it). Video preview shows the correct monitor but it does not record video, only a still image from that monitor.

Any tips?

I'd like to respectfully disagree with your assessment, Osiris. I'm running the same processor (different stepping but otherwise the same chip (his is the higher wattage chip)) and have very little trouble. michaelhayes, one question for you is do you have any browsers open while you are streaming. I find that browsers are resource hogs and will often times prevent the stream from updating your video unless OBS has focus (which of course defeats the purpose of streaming). If you are worried about monitoring chat use an external program like chatty http://getchatty.sourceforge.net/ (assuming you are streaming to Twitch) to monitor chat. As for the dashboard again assuming you are streaming to Twitch, I use Teeboard. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/teeboard.45/ These both allow you to run a stream with out having a resource hog browser running. One thing I might suggest with regards to your settings. Most people will not be able to hear the difference between 96 bps and 128 bps audio bitrate. Better to use the lesser.
 
I'm saving to a file, not streaming. I'll step down the settings and see if I can video or the second audio source to record. THanks for the help!
 
Stepped down the frame rate and the audio rate. The video does eventually change to match the actual screen, but very slowly. Still doesn't record the main audio out from the computer, only the mic input.
