Question / Help Not recording all audio inputs

So I am trying to set up my recordings so that it records my headset's mic, discord audio (through my headset as well), and the game audio or like a youtube video or something. I'm not sure if the issue has to do with there being a "headset chat" and a "headset game" settings on my headset with no way to make the two separate settings into one so I'm not sure what to do.

Any help is appreciated

If your audio is muting when you launch OBS, and you're using a Bluetooth headset, it's caused by the underlying design of Bluetooth.

Bluetooth headsets typically have 2 modes, stereo audio (A2DP), and headset (HFP - Hands Free Profile). These two profiles have separate audio devices on the computer side.

When you have OBS set to activate a Bluetooth headset's microphone, that causes the headset to automatically switch to HFP mode, as A2DP is a lower priority. The reason your audio mutes is because it's still being sent to the A2DP device instead of the HFP device.

To fix this, you either switch to a wired headset, don't use the Bluetooth headset's mic, or set your sound to go through the HFP device for your headset.

Note: HFP offers lower sound quality.
