OBS won't record audio?

[StickMan64]

I've been trying to get into recording let's plays, but I'm struggling with OBS not wanting to record audio. I've tried every tutorial I can find, and I've been messing with the settings of OBS, and nothing I try will have it record audio.

I know it's a problem (or at least I'm fairly certain it's a problem) with OBS, because my Windows settings registers audio from both my headset microphone and my generic capture card.

1. which Audio are you not capturing? I see multiple MIcs, Desktop Audio not assigned to a Track (so I'm assuming that isn't desired.. I simply disabled Desktop Audio in OBS's Global Audio settings)
Audio is NOT an area of expertise for me, so be forewarned. In case these help - OBS Audio related articles:

Depending on the specific audio source, some folks have found this relatively recent plugin to be quite helpful. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/win-capture-audio.1338/
I mention so you can research and see if this applies to you. Personally, I avoid adding plugins whenever possible, but I do use a couple. I mention as OBS crashes are often tied to PoS plugins (or screw-ball custom settings.. ie self-inflicted)

Then - That log is essential one log error message of your USB Video input device? That can't be helping matters. Make sure your video is working (I ALWAYS troubleshoot Audio and Video inputs outside of OBS first). Is that USB input working in other (non OBS) apps? beware OBS taking exclusive use of inputs (for good reason), so you probably should exit OBS altogether when troubleshooting as I'm describing. Does that USB Video also have Audio (ie a webcam?)
