Question / Help Audio Track Recovery

So I just recorded the like the past 2 hours of gameplay with me and my friend, but when I put the mp4 in Sony Vegas there are about 8 or so audio tracks and half of them don’t have any sound and the other half all have only my mic audio, so no game sound and no discord sound. However I had an audio track for desktop volume which picks up discord and game sound, but on audio tracks my mic was selected for all audio tracks (realized after the fact). Is there still a way I can recover or split the audio to hear the desktop volume instead of only my mic?

If you ask to separate sounds sounds mixed in the audio track with the desktop+discord+mic audio: no, that's not possible. Once you made the stew, it's impossible to separate the ingredients again.
If you ask to remove all audio tracks except the one with desktop+discord+mic audio: that's possible, of course. It's a standard function of every video editing software to add, mix or remove audio tracks. I don't know Sony Vegas, but I'm quite sure it contains this function as well.

Even though none of the audio tracks are playing the desktop volume sound?

If there is no track that contains your desktop audio, there is no desktop audio to recover of course. From what you wrote I assumed you had several audio tracks and one of them contained the desktop audio, but it was not played as default by your media player.

If you meant just splitting audio sources into different tracks for future recordings, see here:

Ok thanks, for some reason the mic was selected for all audio tracks and the desktop was selected for audio track 1, so I think the mic overruled it and recorded over it, but I thought maybe it would just have both on that audio track.
