OBS not allowing discord to be recorded separately from mic

Media players will always play back one track at a time only. You can switch between tracks in their audio menu, but you cannot mix multiple tracks for playback. You will find 3 audio tracks in the audio menu of your player, and you can switch between them and hear what has been recorded there.
The purpose of multi track audio is to feed the tracks into your postprocessing software, mix them, and replace the single tracks with the one mixed track.
For fast preview without postprocessing software, add an additional track within OBS and mix all audio sources in it like this:
Here you have as track 1 a mix of all sources, and in tracks 2-5 each source separately. This way I can immediately listen to track 1 with everything mixed in, and if I feel the urge to postprocess the sources separately, I can use the other tracks to create a new mixed track.

Hi all and excuse me for my question but is related to this topic.
How i could have desktop sound separated from game sound? i now have a channel for desktop sound and a channel for mic (and another both). I want to create a channel for a specific program (discord for example). it's possible? there is a guide?

default make own topics for question
but for that what you looking for
you need own sound lines for split this
like virtual sound cards/drives/cables voicemeeter and audio cables can make this
it adds new "sound drives" then you select not your speaker as output on game/discord and use this other drives on OBS
this is the only way to seperate sounds there exist multiple software/hardware for this

To extract the desired sources from the mix of general desktop audio is a common task. You need to "split" audio - that's the term used in the linked guides.
In general, it works like this: you install a virtual audio device and configure the app you want to record to output its sound not to the default device but to that virtual audio device. In OBS, you record that virtual audio device. These guides all deal with separating audio with different focus:

Thank you for pointing this out. This solved my issue as I had no idea that the media player was only playing one of the tracks. Cheers!
