I've seen this problem discussed on many occasions both here and on Youtube, but none of the solutions worked (except reinstalling OBS, but I don't want to do that unless nothing else works).
OBS had been working properly until one day when I unplugged the headphones I had used up to that point and switched them out for new ones, with a microphone to record my commentary. The mic is working properly, but now OBS refuses to capture any sort of audio from Windows itself, even after I went back to my older headphones. I think the headphone switch happened before I started OBS, but I'm not sure.
Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the log from the last recording session before the issue, but still have log from second-to-last session, as well as the very first one where it appeared. There's a bunch of driver names that are not in English, but I'm pretty sure they're correctly selected.
An extra tidbit - these two squares in the screenshot keep flashing between red and yellow once I open a game up. Also I record in a mode where I capture the part of desktop where the game window (in windowed mode) pops up upon loading.
