Question / Help No desktop audio

[LonelyNepper]

Ever since around the end of December I have been having issues with the desktop audio to where it shows that it is picking up the audio but it doesn't. Whats worse is that sometimes it does work, so as soon as I think I got it fixed, I get another video that I recorded for an hour with no desktop audio. I tried looking everywhere and so far I haven't found a fix for it yet.

When you say "shows that it's picking up the audio but it doesn't" do you mean the Mixer in OBS appears to be moving, but it's not available in the final recording/stream?

If you're using Advanced Output Mode, you might have your inputs not configured for the tracks you want them to go to. Go to Edit -> Advanced Audio Properties, and check where they're going. Most video players (like VLC) only play track 1 by default. You can confirm that Track 1 is the one being saved to the recording in Settings -> Output -> Recording (there should be tickboxes, make sure 1 is ticked.
