Can you have a single USB connection and capture audio and video - of course. But that isn't your real question is it?
you really asking how, right?
You are going to hate this.... it depends
USB is not definitive enough to answer. Which version of USB, how much bandwidth available? is chipset capable of actually supporting the USB spec (many consumer systems will barely/not really). Which bitrate video are you dealing with? etc beware cheap motherboard chipsets and cheap capture cards with crap drivers/software/support
My go-to recommendation - get audio and video inputs working at Operating System (OS level) first (OBS Studio NOT started/running.. at all). I prefer to keep it simple. therefore I use native OS tools (when possible) to view video and listen to audio to.

OBS supports video capture devices such as USB webcams, HDMI capture devices and many cameras also support live video like a USB webcam. Use the "Video capture device" source. Usually it's plugging in the USB device, wait for Windows finish installing drivers, start OBS, add video capture device, select device from the device list.
