Question / Help OBS recognizes mic and shows it's recording, but doesn't play in recording

[LouieK22]

I have recently decided to start doing Youtube so I chose OBS as my recording software. However it picks up the mic and shows it's recording the mic(with the green bars below preview), but doesn't capture it(as shown as I watched my recording back after recording).

I have messed around with the audio setting in OBS and have found no solutions.

I am using a built in mic on my laptop. The mic works fine on other programs(Skype, ect.).

Specs:
Lenovo Laptop
Nvidia GeForce GTX 960m Graphics Card
8 GB RAM
Intel Core i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.6GHz

Using what player to play back the recordings?

The photos and media app built in with Windows 10.

Try with VLC instead.

Wait there is a bit of audio, just very quiet.

Then you may need to adjust audio levels in either OBS-MP or in VLC.
