If Obs is running I can't hear anything, it doesn't need to be recording for streaming. ALSO when i record videos it doesn't pick up desktop sound.

Windows sounds -> Communications -> Do Nothing

Your headset is bluetooth isn't it?

Yeah it's bluetooth.

Because you're using the headset's mic, it's switching the entire headset into headset mode. Because your audio is on the device for stereo audio mode, you get nothing, as headset mode is mutually exclusive to stereo audio mode and takes priority.

Is there a way to fix this while still using the headphones? Should I just disable the headphone's mic?

 

[Harold]

That's about the only thing you can do.

Thanks, disabling the mic works, now I can hear the desktop audio while obs is running. However obs is still not picking up desktop audio. The desktop audio bar or spectrum thing moves so it looks like it is hearing the desktop sound. But when I watch the output video there is no sound.

Never mind I found the issue, I just needed to change the audio monitoring.
