How do I record system sound and mute the sound from the microphone?

[kimpowell]

Hi, I use OBS to record online training programmes so I am able to play them back for personal use. I only need the sound system though and not the microphone.
I have followed the instructions from this site when setting up OBS and installed iShowU. I am able to record and playback but I don't want the sound from the microphone. I have asked in the community chat (great feature) and they have recommended to post on here for further assistance.
I have tried changing the audio monitoring in the advanced audio properties but I am still getting sound from the microphone. When I mute the microphone or turn the volume down, it doesn't record the system sound. I have attached a link of the message I put in the support group containing a screen recording of my current settings to hopefully give you an idea of where Im going wrong.

This is sorted now, one of the amazing team members in the support chat helped me. I can't find the option to remove the post so just incase anyone else wants to mute the mic.....

On the Mac go to: Sound preferences > Output > Multi output device
Then you can mute the mic on OBS

Hello! I'm having the same problem, but can't seem to figure out a solution. I have a MacBook Pro (on Mojave). I don't see anything that says "Multi output device" after I click on "Output". I just have something that says "Internal Speakers ....Built In" and that's it. Did I miss a step or maybe our Macs are just too different?
