Separate Audio Tracks Not Working Anymore

My friend is a streamer, and she asked me if I could separate her audio tracks for her recordings since she wants them to be edited. I set the setting to what I use when recording my own content. When I open the video in VLC Media Player, I am able to select between Master, Desktop, and Mic tracks. But for some reason when I pull the test recordings into DaVinci Resolve, only the master track is seen. The output is Advanced, the Audio Encoder is FFmpeg AAC, the Video Encoder is NVIDIA NVENC H.264, Audio Tracks 1-3 are selected, and the Advanced Audio Properties have track 1 as the master, 2 as the Mic, and 3 as the desktop audio. Thank you, I really appreciate the help.

You are seeing them separated in VLC because the video and OBS are both fine.....your issue would be with your import settings/configuration in Resolve, you will want to reach out to their support for assistance with this.

I think I figured out the issue. On the Windows version of DaVinci, when you drag in a file that has multiple audio tracks embedded into it, it automatically creates new audio tracks that show everything. Yet for some reason on Mac, which I have been using recently, it does not do that. I have to create the other audio tracks myself before I drag the file into the timeline on the edit page. Now I just need to find the setting to have the Mac version work similarly to the PC version. So far, no success in that area.

Sounds about right, and others have reported the same issue on Windows recently as well....maybe some update on their end. I am sure if you reach out to their support they'd have an answer for you.
