No audio being recorded from OBS

I can see the mic's working in Windows settings and they work in tools like Zoom or Google Meet. So I can rule out the device not working or human error like the device not being plugged in.

The video records, but the sound doesn't. BUT it used to. I don't really know why it happened but I can't seem to find anything to fix.

The soundbars move for the speakers source. But for any of the mic input sources they do not work.

Things I've tried:
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling OBS
  • Checking the windows volume mixer
  • Settings > Output > Recording > Encoder to different settings. It's currently on NVIDIA NVENC H.264
  • Settings > Output > Recording > Changing rate control from lossless to CBR
  • Settings > Output > Audio - changed all Audio bitrates to 320 except track 1 which is 160
  • Settings > Audio > Global Audio Devices - set all to disabled
  • Audio Mixer > Advanced Audio Properties - all sources say status is "active"
  • Audio Mixer > Advanced Audio Properties - All audio sources are set to track 1. Then each audio source is set to their own individual track e.g. headset is track 2, mic above screen is track 3, speakers are track 4
  • Audio Mixer > Advanced Audio Properties - increase volume to 20dB
  • Audio Mixer > Individual audio source > filter - set a gain filter to 20dB
  • Delete the source from the scene and add a new source creating from scratch not adding an existing.
  • Restarting OBS
  • Restarting Windows
  • Checking all drivers for windows / sound devices

I tried looking at Windows Event Viewer and I found these logs. Could they be related?
