Question / Help Cannot record on multiple tracks

[Dr.ProfessorSir]

Hello, I am no professional, but I do know how to set up multiple audio track recording for obs studio. Well I got all of the settings down and i do a test recording, it worked fine. I went to do a second test, and all of a sudden i cant hear one of my inputs. I go into the settings to see whats wrong and everything seems to be in order. My obs will only record 1 track now, and it's the 4th track. If I go back to simple then it works, but that defeats the whole purpose in getting studio. Please help.

1) Did you check all tracks on Recording tab and all tracks in Advanced Audio Properties window?
2) mp4?
3) Bitrate at Audio tab specified for all tracks?
4) Volume of all inputs is 100% (in Advanced Audio Properties)?
5) The green bars of each source shows current sound level?

Media players typically play back just one track at a time (e.g. selecting the language your movie will play in). All of the audio devices you want to hear simultaneously when you play back the recording need to be on the same track. If they're on separate tracks you can still cycle between them, but they won't all play together.

All of my setting are correct, it simply only record the 4th track. If i put nothing on that track and record, even though all my sound is coming through obs, it won't record unless its on track 4.

I have a related request, which is to have the option of marking all audio streams in the output as default; that way my video editing software can pick them up. I've tried including "-disposition:a:1 default -disposition:a:2 default" switches in the x264 options (I am recording three tracks) but it doesn't seem to help, and putting the switches in the muxer settings causes an error in the log. Any assistance greatly appreciated, I can run the file through ffmpeg afterward to turn this stuff on but I'd be much happier if I didn't need to. :)
