Audio plays through desktop and microphone

I've been having a recurring problem of my desktop audio playing through both my desktop audio tab and the microphone tab. It's not bleeding in, sound is just being picked up by the mic, the audio from my game is fully playing through both the the desktop audio and microphone. When I stream or record like this, there are two distinct tracks playing which causes a pretty rough echo. Sometimes while I'm trying to fix it, it will stop happening and sound will only come through the desktop audio and the mic will work properly. More often than not though, after a minute or two of running OBS, the two tracks will separate and my mic will stop picking up desktop audio. I uninstalled and reinstalled OBS and I've tried a lot of fixes that other people reported, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has had this problem. Most people with similar problems have an issue with their mic picking up the audio as it comes out of their pc. However, mine is running the audio through both channels simultaneously. It's probably a simple fix, but I've tried everything I could find and it hasn't fixed it yet. So, how do I get my audio to only play through my desktop audio channel and not through desktop audio and mic together. Also, here's an image showing both audio bars engaged in the current track. https://imgur.com/a/nUlmF9X

I think this only happens when I'm using a window capture from my pc, the 'Biz' source above. The other day it occurred during the middle of a stream, and I had to shut off the mic.

Some updates: I haven't had the problem for a week, but it happened again today. Usually it resolves itself pretty quickly, but today it's persisting through several restarts of OBS. However, I did some more testing. While this is happening the microphone doesn't pick up my voice at all, and it only sporadically picks up any sound from my pc audio. It happens on all applications, not just the Biz application. Even if I disable desktop audio on OBS, the microphone sound bar will still be playing at full volume, just like it's the desktop audio bar, but it only records sporadic clips of noise when I do that.
