Question / Help Audio is never recorded on my videos

Howdy,

So I've been trying to record gameplay footage for about an hour and I have yet to successfully record a video that also has audio.

I currently have a Scene that has two sources:
-Game Capture
-Audio Output Capture

When I have the game in focus, I can see the Mixer's audio sources clearly showing that audio is registering within OBS. I then hit "Start Recording" and do some stuff in-game. After a bit I hit "Stop Recording" and load up the video I just created. Video is captured fine, Audio is never captured. I've tried Simple and Advanced recording settings under the Output options. Tried multiple video recording formats, changed with Audio Tracks are checked/unchecked. Tried different recording qualities and encoder settings. Even looked online at other people's problems to see if I can figure it out on my own.

But nope. Can't get any Audio on any of my recorded videos. I'm not trying to stream or capture Mic input. All I want is to capture a game's video and audio. Aaaaand I can't get the audio.

Anything obvious I'm missing?

Have you tried checking your recordings with a GOOD media player like VLC?
Windows media player has a 15 year history of being garbage.

Wow... Just downloaded and tried it in VLC; works perfectly. All the videos I've been recording actually have audio. Thanks very much!
