I'm having a problem with in-game sounds not getting streamed. Windows' system sounds do work and also media player. Not VLC nor most games.

How can I get the in-game sounds working?

Do you have them all coming from the same source? As in, are all of those things coming from the same speakers/headphones?

Yes, they are.

I can hear everything from my headphones but on the stream only windows' sounds can be heard (plus Starcraft2 and windows mediaplayer). Many other programs do not work with sound.

I was able to find out that those programs that are not listed in Windows' volume mixer are not heard on stream. I have no idea why some programs are shown there but some are not. Even VLC player is not listed there so I cannot change the volume of VLC individually relative to other programs.

I also tried out XSplit but the problem remains the exact same.

I don't know how to use this information in order to get rid of the problem.

I went through all devices of the mixer but none of those not hearable programs were listed _anywhere_.

Tried but no success there.

I got it working with XSplit by changing the sound settings in the following fashion:

User Settings -> General

From there under the Audio check the Use WinXP Sound checkbox.

Is there a similar option in the OBS settings somewhere?
