Audio not working on Catalina with OBS

[bowjest]

I installed the latest version of OBS yesterday and found I couldn't get audio capture to work. After searching around a bit I found the following:
How to capture desktop audio on Mac
Desktop audio on Mac currently requires a second program to help OBS capture it, since macOS does not provide a way to capture audio built-in. You can accomplish this with a program called iShowU.

But even after following all the steps exactly (using first BlackHole and then switching to iShowU), I still can't get audio capture/recording to work.

Here is what I'm running:

OBS 26.1.2 (64 bit)
MacBook Pro 2019 (Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2))
2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

I've also attached screenshots of what I've done/set up to help illustrate what I've done.

I'm hoping that in spite of following the directions to the letter, I've managed to miss something and so just need a nudge to get this working.

And just to confirm - the video capture works absolutely fine. The problem I'm having is that I cannot record audio.

Any constructive advice very welcome.

BUMP

Any advice anyone? I've followed the tutorial steps for setting up audio recording in OBS, but so far it's still not working.

I've got a brand new 2019 MacBook Pro running Catalina. Audio works fine with everything else, just not OBS.

I've tried settings up a multi-output device using both BlackHole and iShowU, but still nothing works.

Thanks,

Here's something else I've tried:

If I launch OBS via the terminal with this:

open /Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS --args -picture

Audio works, but video doesn't. I'm not given a video source to work from.

Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated.

Just forget it. There must be an easier way to go desktop screencasts.
