Recently, I have upgraded OBS Multiplatform to 0.12.3.

0.12.2 worked great, recordings worked very nicely, it wasn't laggy, audio worked perfectly.

But then when I upgraded to 0.12.3, the audio tracks are broken.

For example, I was trying to record Undertale.

I could hear Undertale just fine, but my microphone audio is not playing, despite OBS saying that it IS recording

I also got VLC Player to see if that's the problem, but it's not. It's just not showing up in the recording at all, or too quiet to hear.

My sound settings and recording log are attached in the post

I also have a Blue Snowball Microphone, if that means anything.

If there's anything I missed, please tell me, I'll respond in an instant.

Thank you,

According to your first screenshot, you are recording your desktop (game) in the first audio track and your mic in the second audio track. Common media players only playback one audio track at a time, they are not mixing multiple audio tracks. So you only hear your game, since that is in the first track. You can switch the track within the media player. Usually, multiple audio tracks are used to provide different language synchronizations for stuff like movies, so the players don't mix the audio tracks but only output one track at a time.
Recording to different audio tracks is nice if you want to postprocess and mix them after recording.

You can mix them in the first audio track by checking more than one box in your first screenshot. For example, activate both sources for track 1, and additionally activate desktop audio for track 2 and additionally activate mic for track 3. 2 crosses for each source. So you get track 1 with a mix of both, track 2 with desktop (game) only and track 3 with mic only - in case you want to edit and mix them later.

So basically, nothing is wrong, media players just don't play multiple audio tracks at a time?

I guess I should have thought about that before. I'll test putting the audio file in Sony Vegas to see if it does.

I'll report if it worked or not.
