Question / Help Bizarre audio issues. Recognized, but videos are silent.

[ArkthePieKing]

So I've been using OBS for a long time and it's always been good to me. There've been hiccups here and there but on the whole I love it. But this is just bizarre. Today it wasn't recognizing my mic at all, which turned out to be a windows problem and I got that sorted. But now when I record with it, the bars for game and mic audio jump around just as they're supposed to, but my videos are totally silent. I haven't the foggiest as to how to fix this. Support on the matter would most appreciated.

It sounds like codec issue. Try to watch the videos in VLC player: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

I just fixed it. It turns out that Windows just totally went haywire on me and screwed up my default audio output device as well. The videos recorded actually do have sound, my computer just wasn't sending anything through my speakers. Sorry for the false alarm there y'all.
