It appears I can no longer record multiple discreet audio tracks. Never had this problem before and I've been using OBS for years in Linux. It appears to record the desktop audio and mic audio as separate tracks, or so it appears, but all sources end up getting all mixed down into each individual audio track, resulting in two identical audio tracks containing all sources. Obviously this makes post-processing on individual audio tracks impossible. I have checked and re-checked my settings and they are as they should be as far as I can tell but I have noticed there is now no selections for mics as recording sources in the mic source lists. All I have in there are "default" and "built-in audio analog stereo". My 'default' audio recording input in my system's main settings is selected as my mic. Is this a possible bug?

Yes. And every time I select the individual sources in one track those settings get immediately mirrored across all tracks.
Track 2 shows the same. No matter which source I set in any track, those settings get immediately mirrored to all other tracks, just basically making duplicates.
Tried adding another audio input source, then muting the original one. It's not an ideal workaround but it seems to work. It only records the mic now and not the desktop audio. I still think it's a bug in OBS. I suppose it could possibly be a bug in Linux Mint but I doubt it. Mint is a very mature distro and I've been using it since nearly the day its first version came out. Faster and far less bloated than Ubuntu.
Mint uses Ububtu's repositories.
