Hi. Yesterday was my first time trying OBS -- and I just couldn't manage to get the audio to work. I tried searching for a fix, I watched a lot of setup videos on YouTube, but nothing helped.
Basically, it doesn't matter what I set as far as my "Desktop Audio Device" or "Microphone/Auxiliary Audio Device" in the settings. The only thing that seems to matter audio-wise is what I set in the "Device Selection" area. Whatever I choose under "Audio Input Device" is all that works. So, if I choose my mic, that's all I hear, no game audio. If I choose "Device Audio" I get game but no mic. I'd like to point out again that I'm using the Elgato Game Capture HD. So, I'm capturing console gameplay.
Whenever I watch a setup video all they say is to set your desktop audio device to default and then your mic device to whatever mic you're using and then you're done -- but that does nothing for me.
Also, whenever I try a local recording -- I don't hear any audio when I play it back. Neither game, nor mic.
I am certainly inexperienced when it comes to streaming and stuff like this, so I understand this is likely user error. I just needed to post this because I've tried getting it to work for about 8hrs, but to no avail. I just couldn't find a helpful walkthrough or anything. Hope you can help.
