Question / Help Audio Source Conflicts - Programs Seizing Audio - Windows 10

Hello! I'm new to OBS and having some trouble with audio source conflict.

I open Sibelius and Windows Media Player, and both play fine - using Windows 10 64 bit. Then, when I open OBS, I get no audio from WMP or Sibelius. OR - I open OBS, and then I have no audio in Chrome, or I can't stream at all when OBS is open. This happens in various configurations. When I open Sibelius, no sound comes from any other programs, for example, or similarly with Studio One. Things get even more complicated when I try add my webcam - especially when I want to use the webcam mic. These audio conflicts sometimes throw errors in other programs.

Is there a program that "mixes" audio sources on a pc? Or is there a way to do this within OBS?

I've been confused about how to address this for a long time! Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just noticed in the log file it said "09:29:56.231: Couldn't find VLC installation, VLC video source disabled"

That's another thing I noticed after installing OBS - my VLC player will only player the audio from a video file, but not the video.

I'm not sure if that's related, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Thanks again!
