I could not get any audio into obs for last nights livestream. I use a usb audio input device and also have the option of audio input from my camlink. Neither showed any feeds. I tried removing and reinstalling them, also removed and reinstalled obs and set back to default. I have avast but that hasn't caused an issue before and tried obs with my firewall shut off, still no audio.

OBS is not being allowed to access your audio device. Either security/antivirus software, or Windows security feature, or device is in exclusivity mode and being accessed by another program.

Also you may need to change the device to something else and back again; I've had the hardware IDs get messed up before, and swapping back and forth refreshes it with the new ID. Especially common if you update your audio drivers, but can happen at random sometimes too.
As your OBS settings are not deleted when you uninstall/reinstall OBS, the old bad hardware ID could be lingering in the config files still.
