Question / Help Audio in any/all recordings completely melted.

I've used obs no problems in the past many times for recording. All of my audio is fine, even monitored there are no issues. However, under any set of circumstances I've tested (file container type, # of tracks, audio hz, bitrate and all that nonsense.) I've come up with the exact same result. The audio is hiding behind this harsh crackling/distorted effect that seems to lend itself to different qualities of crackle as settings change, but I think that only has to do with which I pick (16bit4100hz-24bit192000hz). Doesn't matter what I use for playback.

Things I believe I've identified:
updating obs was a very big mistake
redownloading obs in full does nothing
it has something to do with when the file is being recorded but idk what.

Other things: I was using custom ffmpeg by default for some reason at first and I didn't know why multiple audio tracks weren't working, switched to standard and I was actually able to hear audio, but with this gruelign effect. Using MP4 as a file contained produces an almost nonexistent faint muffle, not a muffle of anything or even the original sound but a muffle, also causing the mic to output normal feedback along with puffs of air when it starts picking up my voice but not air from my voice (not sure really).

Not sure if somehow along the way I've made a mistake, or if my computer is finally incapable of running obs.

You can open up a basic example of what I am talking about with vlc/download here: http://www.filedropper.com/evidence
 
Try downgrading if you can't upgrade this machine. I'm not even sure if current builds are tested with Windows 7.

I am running windows 8.1 current atm. Replacing this machine soon, but whatever this is was just making sure it was my own error.
 
Not that I can see. But then again, there are so many ways of audio being messed up that are upstream of OBS and don't show up in a log.

My suggestion is assuming that this machine, with this same configuration, was running an older version of OBS without this issue, then you might try reverting to that before doing anything else, because newer versions of OBS aren't being tested against anything but Windows 10 AFAIK.
