Question / Help OBS is not capturing desktop audio?

[CluelessCat]

I download iShowU to record my desktop audio. It worked fine last time I streamed but now there's nothing, even though obs is saying there is. I tried adding a Gain filter and still nothing. Any ideas?

thats because in the mixer its only showing microphone input, either the desktop input was overwritten by mic 2 or its just not there for it to capture

but the top one is mic input? The bar only moves when something is playing on the desktop.

one should say desktop audio input not mic input your probably hearing the speakers through the mic maybe

it should automatically be there, im not sure how it works on Mac as its all built in one
try clicking the settings tool on one of them and clicking unhide all

right click on sources choose capture audio and pick your desktop audio and you should get it as i had to do this on a rdp that it wouldnt pickup the audio on.

Nothin. It also made everything super low quality.

Wait it did work(put in the wrong audio capture) but it makes the video really choppy and laggy.
