So I am trying to set up obs studio to record using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svrpFWMkmd0

I have made sure that I have done everything correctly and have ensured that all my devices work. I use Voicemeeter and a virtual audio cable to make my discord and game audio run on different tracks and have got them showing to be working in obs but for some reason when I click record it only records 1 audio track even though I have got 3 audio tracks enabled in the mixer and in the output.

I really don't know how to fix this as I can't see anything that I have done wrong to make it only record 1 track :(

Have you checked your output with VLC, making sure to switch between the audio tracks while playing back the video?

When I play back the video I only have 1 track playing, for example if I set the track number 1 on the mixer to the mic it will only pick up the mic and if I select track number 1 for the game it will only pick up the game even though I have track number 2 and 3 for discord and the mic. The only way I can have the 3 tracks being able to be heard is if I set them all to be played on track 1 which is not what I want and this will only give me 1 audio track.

VLC can play back multiple audio tracks but will only play back one of them at a time. Checking with VLC is recommended.

Yes, I assumed you'd already done that.

The other thing to check is that all three tracks are checked in your Output settings Recording tab.

When I go to the mixer you can select the 3 tracks. I get 0 audio from the other 2 tracks that I select apart from the first one. I know that it is not muted as I can see it responding to noise in the mixer.

I keep asking you how you know there's no audio in tracks 2 and 3 of your recorded video, and you keep not telling me. How am I supposed to help?

What have you used to check it? What players have you tried playing it back in?

In VLC's Audio menu, there is an Audio Track menu. If your file has more than one audio track, they will all be listed in there.

There's a fairly long discussion about using ffe/ffmpeg to extract audio here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/constant-audio-track-troubles-please-help.49065/#post-218672

I believe it's also possible to use Audacity to extract the audio, but I don't have any knowledge of that.

Just Thought I would let you know that I have found a solution to my problems using a piece of software called virtual dub, thank you very much for all your help with the audio issues that I was facing and I want to apologize again if I appeared a bit rude have a good day.
