Question / Help How do I make an audio track the primary track?

I am recording 3 audio tracks right now. Track 1 has my desktop audio and my mic (I use this for livestreams). Track 2 is just my mic, and track 3 is just my desktop audio. I have all three tracks in my recordings. The idea was that I don't need to alter the audio when I upload the entire livestream, but my other channel has more heavily edited moments from those livestreams, so then I would want to delete Track 1 and fix the levels in the other tracks. I just need the default track to remain track 1 (The track with my mic and desktop audio).

In other words, I'm lazy. My editing software can be resource intensive, so I don't want to have to edit and process a 4 hour video every time I livestream. I only need the other tracks for my more edited videos. Not for my raw livestreams. In the past, this wasn't a problem. My livestreams and recordings would default to track 1 and there was no issue. I recently had to reinstall OBS, and now it jumps back and forth between only playing track 2 or track 3. Never Track 1. Is there a way to make Track 1 default for other players?

Under the Output section, for streaming, there should be an option to choose which audio track you use for the stream.

The recording should always record each of the audio tracks separately, which is then up to whatever player you use to select which one you're listening to.
