Question / Help Odd Audio Problems

[MikesBack]

So I reset my OBS to clean up some of my settings and put them back into action.

I did that, and correctly split my audio in OBS to two different tracks.

The problem is, now for some reason when I record, even though OBS is picking up my desktop and mic audio, it's not audible at all in the actual recording. It's also not splitting into two different tracks like it should in an editing program (it's worked before) like my Vegas Pro 16.

From outside, to in...

Windows Sound Control Panel
Make sure the default playback device is set to the appropriate playback audio device
Make sure the default recording device is set to the appropriate mic

Third Party Sound Applications
If you have any sound applications running like from your motherboard manufacturer using Nahimic, Realtek, etc. make sure you got that setup properly.

Application/Game
In its settings (if any), make sure the audio input and audio output correlate to what you set as default playback and recording devices

OBS Mixer:
- Make sure the speaker icon is enabled and not muted for the Desktop Audio and Mic/Aux

OBS Advanced Audio Properties:

Click one of the cog wheels in the mixer to bring up the Advanced Audio Properties dialog box.
Make sure Audio monitor dropdown for the mic and Desktop audio are set to either "Monitor Off" or "Monitor and Output"
Set the Mic/Aux to track 1
