I just downloaded OBS Studio and I've been fiddling around with it a bit, but no matter what I do I can't get the desktop audio to register to the stream and my headphones (just standard earbuds, nothing fancy. I've tried running both the 32 and 64 bit versions but it's the same result.

I only got audio outputting to OBS if I set my computer's default speaker to "Xsplit Audio Renderer", but then I wasn't able to hear it through my headphones. You could hear it through the stream, however. Whenever I set my desktop speakers to the default that I always use ("Realtek High Definition Audio"), OBS doesn't pick it up at all. My mic is fine either way.

Sorry I'm just a confused and lost soul trying to desperately navigate this ._.

Here are my logs

Hi,

In OBS under the audio tab can you check to see you have selected the correct audio device in this case should be ("Realtek High Definition Audio"), this needs to match the same as you are using for your headphones / speakers.

I've done that, and I don't get any audio in OBS but I get it through my headphones. That's my main issue right now and I'm not sure how to resolve.

Your log has these lines:
Code: 
23:03:52.900: [WASAPISource::TryInitialize]:[Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)] Failed to get initialize audio client: 88890008
23:03:52.901: [WASAPISource::WASAPISource] Device '{0.0.0.00000000}.{ad90727a-3533-46c8-953d-9ad9b8ddddc1}' not found.  Waiting for device

Which looks basically like like the device refused to let OBS listen to it via the Windows Sound API.

That number at the end of the first line is what's known as an HRESULT; googling for HRESULT <hr> resulted in this old thread about the Razer Kraken 7.1 headset that suggests fun driver issues, but also mentions checking that the device format in the device's settings matches OBS's, as well as this Win7 thread where someone was using a generic driver, rather than Reltek's or their motherboard manufacturer's.

Either of those any help?

I did double check that the devices all match. I just tried downloading Realtek's driver instead of using the generic one, and it didn't fix anything. The main issue is that it seems to work sometimes and then not other times, without me changing anything.
