HELP! My OBS went deaf! It can't hear anything or anyone anymore!

I want to express my immense gratitude to the team that developed OBS. For years, it and I worked side-by-side, sharing great adventures in online gaming. But now, our farewell is truly—so very—sad!

I don't know why—perhaps the OBS program got angry with me, or maybe it didn't like something I did, or maybe it thinks I'm a bad gamer—but my OBS application has completely stopped capturing *any* sound from my Windows system or from my games. It only records me speaking; it captures nothing but my microphone—absolutely nothing else.

Whether this is some Windows 11 abomination or just a bug, I honestly don't know! In Windows 11, everything *seems* perfectly normal: game audio plays freely through my speakers and headset, and my microphone works just fine in other applications. It is *only*—and I mean *solely*—within OBS that this happens: my microphone works, but OBS simply refuses to capture any desktop or game audio anymore! I’ve tried everything! I sought AI assistance via ChatGPT, tweaked every setting within OBS itself, and—as a last resort—even uninstalled and reinstalled the program. None of it did any good!

MY OBS HAS GONE DEAF! IT CAN'T HEAR A THING ANYMORE! IT HAS COMPLETELY LOST ITS HEARING! I no longer know what else to do other than to finally abandon it—and to offer my heartfelt thanks for so many years of partnership! Thank you so much... though it truly is a shame that you’d leave me in the lurch like this—out of nowhere, without a single warning... =(

Is there a cure for my OBS's deafness?
If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful!
