Question / Help OBS cannot initialize desktop audio sound

[Chaseisgr8]

Today I was using OBS perfectly fine. I had a game going, with overlays, facecam and full audio from both my mic and speakers (Razer Kraken 7.1). Later that day i wanted to stream again, But this error popped up. I have done research and haven't been successful in a fix. I have however set default playback device as my pc's built in speakers, but I really dont want to use my speakers (thus why I bought my headset).
Please tell me how I can resolve this issue

Cheers

*EDIT*
I have no idea what I am doing. All I want to do is livestream :)
So please 'dumb-ify' your vocab :)

Use 64bit OBS (gets installed automatically, look in your start menu). Or if you're on a 32bit system, disable the Kraken Launcher in msconfig and reboot to get it working with OBS.
