Hello, my computer runs on Windows 11, and I have OBS Studio version 30.2.3. I recently bought an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, and on this laptop, OBS just cannot pick up the audio from the multiple microphones that I've tried to use. First, I had the Blue Snowball microphone (it's a USB mic), which worked perfectly on OBS on my old laptop (Acer Aspire 5, also ran on Windows 11) However, on the Acer Predator Helios, OBS can't pick up the audio. What happens is that OBS picks up the mic's audio for a few seconds right after I start the application, but then it dies down and becomes completely mute, and the audio that it does pick up sounds completely muffled and extremely quiet and abnormal (mic volume was even at max) So, then to make sure it wasn't a mic issue, I tested my Blue Snowball on OBS on the Acer Aspire 5, and it worked perfectly fine and normal. So, then I figured that it might be a mic issue, and I bought a new mic (Blue Yeti, also a USB mic) and the first time I plugged it into my Acer Predator Helios, it worked perfectly fine. However, OBS is doing the same thing with the Blue Yeti as well. I already checked the sound settings on my current device, and the Blue Yeti is set as my default mic and permitted to be used by all applications. Volume levels are high enough. Even loudly tapping the mic can't be picked up by OBS. Every time I launch the application, OBS picks up the audio for a few seconds and then it just becomes completely mute. I don't know if it's an issue with my computer or OBS, but I'd really appreciate help.
OBS unable to successfully capture audio from multiple microphones. Audio is picked up for a few seconds, then completely dies down
