Question / Help Desktop Audio Too Quiet

I've been trying to record a game (Specifically Minecraft) with OBS. The video and microphone are fine, but the desktop audio is really quiet. I can barely hear it, especially over the mic. I have a Rosewill RHTS-8206 headset. Exclusive mode and surround sound are both disabled. Here are my settings:

Just the audio with the stream? If the mic is fine, i'd adjust the desktop boost by 2 or more to get the volume over stream louder. Unless your talking about the volume through your headset or whatever, then increase your volumes through your audio mixer.

Thanks, for some reason I never noticed the desktop boost setting. It works much better now.

Careful with boosting audio, it can make it sound absolutely horrible and clippery just by setting it to 1 or 2 (I think 1 is default now for some reason). Also keep in mind that your audio level might be low while others might hear it fine and dandy.

I figured I'd mention this has been fixed in the latest version. I originally had to go up to 20 on the boost, but now 1 works just fine.
