So when I open OBS and click Preview stream or Start Streaming it gives me a message that says "An error accurred initializing microphone audio - it may not be plugged in, or another application could be using it in exclusive mode." I don't what is wrong because I checked the sound and advanced tabs and both boxes are unchecked so its not in exclusive mode. I'll put down a log if needed
Btw - I use the TurtleBeach x12's I also tested OBS with my x11's but they both had the same error message.

Please double check that you have the right mic selected in settings>audio, and also make sure that your mic is not set to exclusive mode. To disable exclusive mode, right click the speaker icon in the system tray, select "Recording Devices" then choose your microphone and press "Properties". Go to the "Advanced" tab and uncheck both checkboxes.

Still doesn't work...
I get the same warning when I try to start the stream or when I try to preview the stream

The error is happening to your mic, not your speakers. You're in the wrong part of your sound control panel.
