Question / Help Audio issues

Hello OBS community! I would like to preface this by saying I've done my best on trying to fix this issue, and i cant seem to understand it or figure it out.

Currently I am running on Windows 10, and I have Audio-Technica ATH-M50x's for headphones, and I have a Blue Yeti Microphone. I have spent countless hours looking online to find the fix, or maybe for someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong but I still havent been able to figure it out.

SO, when I record, I record with mp4, and my goal is to seperate my Microphone audio into a seperate track than my desktop audio.
My steps to do this were to first, assign what the audio inputs were: http://prntscr.com/g1y4ee
Then second, choose what track I wanted them in: http://prntscr.com/g1y4p4
and then simply tell it to record both tracks: http://prntscr.com/g1y522

I certainly would have thought this would be easy enough, but I was wrong. When I record, it records the game perfectly, dont get me wrong, but it either records my microphone only or my desktop audio only. rarely will it ever record both which makes it so hard for me to use this software.

I am going to post my current log file right here:

or here:

Fixes I have tried:

I've watched just about every youtube video under the sun to attempt to fix this, none of which help.

I attempted to record 3 tracks, one of the tracks recording both my microphone and desktop audio, and normally i would just delete the track with both of them in it. This had a higher success rate of working than my previous just-two-track idea but still was just so commonly an issue.

I've tried other video formats, none of which allow me to edit them in Sony Vegas even though Sony has said they support the file formats.

I've set my audio inputs to default and configured everything in any way I could to be able to figure this out, but it just wont work for me.

I have tried to record it in mkv as well (cause i would just remux it), but it still shows little success rate that it actually records both desktop and microphone audio. When clearly, there is sound coming through obs: http://prntscr.com/g1ya9c


If anyone can enlighten me on what I'm doing wrong, or telling me this is impossible or something like that, that would be great.

Looks fine to me. In case the problem is with Vegas, can you try opening the video file in VLC and checking to see if you can switch audio tracks in the audio menu?

Also, run the file through MediaInfo and post the results here. Or better yet, try posting a sample video.

Thanks for the reply dodgepong!
I am happy to present you with the data I have collected.
Turns out, when I open the mp4 file with the regular "Movies and TV" application that comes default with Windows 10, I can only hear my desktop sounds, while when I opened it up with VLC, I could hear only my microphone audio!

Also, YES I can see two audio tracks in VLC, but again only one of them will play.

Here is the mediainfo information; http://prntscr.com/g21cs6

And here is the video that i recorded quickly whilst talking with a friend, if you could open it and both and confirm that I am not crazy, that would be great.
Since I can't upload it to the website, i will upload it to a mediafire.:

So, the audio tracks are recording fine, but Vegas can't see them for some reason. I would start by looking into how you might fix that on the Vegas side. I know the latest versions of Adobe Premiere CC work with OBS multi-track audio just fine.
