Really Weird Audio Issue

Usually I have no issue troubleshooting, and never post on forums but last night, I was recording at ease with all my stereo audio inputs working, and suddenly this afternoon, all of my audio inputs have switched to mono and I cannot get OBS to capture any audio signal. I can confirm that I never changed one setting since I last used OBS last night, so all settings are the same. "Stereo" is still selected in the audio settings, and even creating a new scene, then adding a new audio input results in a perfect stereo input still showing up as a mono input.

No matter what kind of input I create, it still doesn't show that audio is being received to OBS. I've added a stereo media source, and it looks to be able to play a stereo source, but I can't get the input to show stereo as it just did last night. I've done the typical restart obs, restart windows, etc.

This has me highly confused as this has never happened before. I'm not sure if this can even be helped, lol. I am dumbfounded.

For context:

Windows 10 / RME Babyface Pro FS Audio interface
 
Hhm. All your sound sources seem to be unavailable:
"WASAPISource] Device 'XXXXXXX' not found. Waiting for device"

Weird log too. :)

Just seen that you have mixed up a setup of different Analog/SPDIF/ADAT-routing source via Babyface and Voicemeeter, too. Need such complicated setup really?
 
Lol, I can explain! Since my Babyface comes with a routing software, I was going to axe Voicemeeter, but Voicemeeter does audio over IP which I actually still utilize. The only thing is, even when I do disengage Voicemeeter, nothing seems to budge in OBS, but I'm going to try again. It probably is my issue because I think I remember my audio drivers being choked between the two before on my laptop a little while back.
 
Wow! Ok, I just figured it out.

I disabled my microphone from being accessed by apps, and had to go into the microphone settings and select "allow apps to access your microphone". It's just so weird to me that with that option being disabled, it dismantled my entire audio driver. Anyway, whatever works! Now OBS is showing the stereo inputs once more.

Thank you for your help!
