In A Conundrum

So recently I had to uninstall and reinstall Windows because of an issue Best Buy caused when replacing my CPU fan. Well now that I have OBS reinstalled, I can get the webcam up and running but there's three problems that I need to solve or I can't set my sources back up:

1. When I plug in my Blue Yeti and add it as a source AND set the volume level, the program confirms the microphone is connected and the colored bar is moving indicating it's picking up sound BUT then when I record anything the recording shows NO microphone audio whatsoever.

2. The audio mixer shows two more sources that aren't even added that I can't get rid of: Mic/Aux and Desktop Audio.

3. For some reason the webcam shows up in the audio mixer even though it shouldn't be showing in the audio mixer.

On my old set up here all the sources I had: Blue Yeti for Audio Output, Logitech C390e Pro webcam for video capture device, an audio output capture source that allowed me to capture the sounds when playing games directly off my laptop using OBS and both a view of my desktop and Elgato as Display Captures (Whenever the Elgato is hooked up it hides the Desktop display and whenever the Elgato isn't hooked up, it defaults to the desktop display).

I need to know how to solve problem 1 and as for problems 2 and 3, I need to know if they can be solved. Since this was an OS reinstallation, I need to readd all my sources, but I can't do the game play videos I do until all the sources are set back up...and in the case of my Blue Yeti, actually working. If any of this can be solved please let me know.

#2 - OBS Studio Settings - Global Audio devices... personally I disabled all of them as my use case doesn't call for Desktop Audio, and I add specific Audio sources as appropriate
#1 - were you careful with Output/Monitor in Adv Audio Properties?
#3 - if webcam has a mic, then yes it should be showing up in audio mixer (especially as you have Desktop Audio enabled, and webcam mic most likely being routed to Desktop (as one would expect).

Sounds like you figured out OBS Studio audio, but have since forgotten what you did/how it worked, and didn't back up your settings. Some of these OBS Audio related articles may help
Before posting again, be sure to read the pinned article in this forum about posting your OBS Studio log (from a recording/Streaming session) when asking for assistance. Be prepared to supplement OBS Studio log with exact Operating System and associated driver audio config
