Hey folks,
This was driving me nuts for days. Granted Mic permission to OBS, only my onboard Macbook Pro Mic would be metering and record onto video/streams.
External soundcard was available and selectable. Works great everywhere else. Heard that firewire devices are an ongoing issue with OBS - see log:
23:19:17.098: coreaudio: device '2882 [4945]' initialized
23:19:17.516: [input_callback]:[device '2882 [4945]'] audio retrieval failed: -50
23:19:17.527: [input_callback]:[device '2882 [4945]'] audio retrieval failed: -50

23:19:17.550: [input_callback]:[device '2882 [4945]'] audio retrieval failed: -50
Knocked up my own little device that works with Soundflower or Blackhole to reroute your nice condenser microphone plugged into your soundcard back into OBS.
It's free and open source etc if you're having problems on MacOS - worked for me!

- First install either Soundflower or BlackHole. (both free)
- Download OBSAudioRouter
- Select your Input soundcard
- Select your Mic channel
- Select your Sample rate
- Select your Output soundcard (Soundflower 2ch or Blackhole)
- Select the same Output card as the Microphone/Auxillary input inside OBS settings
- Your audio should now be metering no problem on Mic/Aux for Audio Input Capture
