Question / Help Help understanding audio clipping

I must be fundamentally misunderstanding something because every guide I read says you don't want to be in the red and especially don't want to be over max (0 db).

However, I cranked up the obs audio to max volume without any filters (compressor or otherwise), blasted it WAY over 0 db, and the recording sounded perfect. No distortion at all!

Am I missing something here? I'm only recording the game. No mic. No streaming.
