Question / Help My OBS doesn't record audio and only records the screen! HELP

[Chupacabra]

The question is in the title, also it only records the screen and doesn't record desktop audio and mic audio. The volume mixer moves on the software but doesn't actually include mic and desktop audio.

* What are you using to play the recording?
* In Settings->Output->Recording, what checkboxes are checked on "Audio Tracks"?
* In Edit->Advanced Audio Properties, what checkboxes are checked?

If you see the levels in the volume mixer moving then this is likely a simple playback issue. Use a program like VLC or MPC-HC to verify that everything is working.

There's nothing ticked on recording and only has default settings like where it's going to save, recording quality but I did put it to MP4.

I've checked everything like that but thanks for recommending me those 2 softwares but can you give me a brief overview about it?

Brief overview: Windows Media Player is garbage and doesn't support standard audio codecs, use something which does.

Ah right, you're probably using Simple mode right? My bad. But yeah, go to http://www.videolan.org and download VLC and try it in that program. Or like Sapiens suggested MPC-HC which you can download at https://mpc-hc.org/ and that might be an interface more familiar to you.

Excellent brief overview.
