OBS was working fine in the beginning (I didn't even have wavtap or soundflower installed then), but all of a sudden it just stopped registering any kind of output. I tried using wavtap and soundflower, but neither of them changed anything (I'm 99% sure I configured everything correctly). Anybody else having this problem or any ideas how to fix it? Should I just uninstall and re-install OBS?

Question / Help OBS desktop audio/output

Well this is quite disconcerting to hear. I really wish apple would get their heads together and make a native desktop audio capturing API so users wouldn't have to go through this.
Okay, did you guys double-check the settings? In the vast majority of these cases, the problem is simply that you lost your configuration somehow, especially when reinstalling them.
Try this:
1.) Go to system preferences, then go to Sound
2.) Click the "Output" section
3.) Select your speakers or headset or whatever device would normally be your output
4.) Now, make sure that it is unmuted at the bottom. This is important. It must not be muted, and the volume must be up on your actual device, otherwise it will not capture.
5.) Now select Wavtap or Soundflower (2ch) (note: do not use 64ch! It will not work.). Make sure this is unmuted as well.
6.) Exit system preferences.
7.) If using soundflower, open soundflowerbed, and configure the 2ch section to use your speakers as an output. I don't know if wavtap has something similar, but if it does, do the same there.
You should then be set up to capture again if you follow these steps.

I have verified and verified my setup. I cannot find a solution anywhere. SO many hours wasted trying to get this to work. Every time I try to select an output for 2ch soundflower, soundflower immediately quits. I've even tried using a 3rd party package installer. Nothing works and I cannot get my desktop audio to stream.
