Newbie Question: Camera Audio Issue

Hi guys
I'm a newbie to OBS and sure this is a basic problem with a straight forward answer (but I can't seem to get my mind around it). We have a Sony camcorder, with an XLR connected mic to capture some images with commentary (which the camera is capturing). The camera is hooked up to a Mac Airbook, via an HDMI capture card and we're transmitting to YouTube live. After some trial and error, we have a pretty decent picture and we have audio... But, the audio appears to be captured from the laptop mic, not the camera!? Why is that? I cannot seem to see a control to direct the audio to capture from the camera.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to solve this, that would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Gra
