Question / Help Microphone disabling itself

[Lain]

Ah, okay, then I apologize for not having understood the problem. Perhaps there's something wrong with your application data where it's not letting you save your profile information. Would you mind it if I recommended clearing out all your OBS settings?

If you wish to try it, then first, close OBS. Then you can do it by pressing Windows Key + R, pasting in:
%appdata%\obs

Then simply delete the files within (or move then somewhere else if you wish to back them up), which will reset all of your settings. I suppose it's worth a shot. Such a thing you're experiencing is extremely unusual, I have to admit I don't know why such a thing would be happening and I theorize that you somehow lost permissions to that folder somehow (no clue why or how though, but it's happened on extremely rare occasions to other people in the past somehow, still have no idea how)

I'll go ahead and do that, and if it doesn't end up working I'm just gonna reload Windows. My PC has needed it for a while and it's pretty much the last thing I can think of to get this to work, next to what you just suggested. Thank you!

Old thread, but no actual results listed. I am having the exact same problem and haven't seen to many other people with similar problems. It does seem to have to do with rights on the folder being lost (I just dl'd a bunch of windows updates so that is probably why.) The issue is I have no idea how to regain rights to the folder now because Win7 is garbage.

I tried removing read-only on the obs folder in cmd prompt to no avail, and I have all rights checked in the properties and still no go. Anyone else with similar problems or ideas?

Ok I am too dumb to know how to post my log file so...yeah...doubt its that important. My problem is the same as the poster.

edit: I ended up restarting my computer after I deleted everything in the appdata folder and this did work.
