Forget streamlabs, if you want support here. They took our OBS, modified it, and confusingly still call it OBS. We don't know what they modified, so we can't support that. If you want support for their product, then you need to ask them.
Does the real OBS give you a meter? If it does, then it's an output problem. If not, then it's an input problem. Big difference.

Okay, so OBS just isn't getting it in the first place.No meter on OBS either
I assume that it's looking at the correct device? Lots of people have been burned by the Default setting suddenly changing which device it goes to, without them doing anything at all. So don't use Default! That behavior is actually intentional, as proof that a fresh installation works, because it picks the one that you're most likely to be using already at that moment. Once you're past that initial proof, Default becomes a pure liability for most rigs. Always choose a specific device *in OBS*, unless you have a VERY good reason to have something else choose it for you each time.
If it *is* looking at the correct device, then it might be a permissions problem. Windows recently acquired a permissions structure, like mobile systems have had for a long time. And like those other systems, if that permission is turned off, then it doesn't work, even if everything else is right.
I'm not actually a Windows guy anymore. Win10 decided a year or so ago that it didn't want to update - it found some, tried to install, failed and rolled back, repeatedly, and none of Google's search results made it work - so I dumped it and put Linux on instead. Never allow an out-of-date machine to see the internet, except for the *immediate* purpose of getting those updates.
But as a good exercise of what you should do anyway for any rig, take a full day to explore everything, figure out what everything does, and set it to work for you instead of the other way around.

Linux permissions work completely differently. It doesn't translate at all.
The whole single-user Windows vs. multi-user Linux difference is so fundamental, that it profoundly affects pretty much everything. Only the superficial user interface is the same. If that's all you interact with, like most casual users, then you don't care what's under it, but for anything that requires more in-depth knowledge and control, you pretty much have to learn your chosen system all by itself, whether that's Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else.
Although, since Mac is based on Unix (or at least was for a while, maybe still is), and Linux is also based on Unix (Linux = Linus's Unix, after a tinkerer at the time named Linus Torvalds), there's a lot of similarity under the hood between those two. But they're still not the same.

Win10 partially made the switch from the old control panel to new System interface... sometimes you have to use both. ughIt is set to the line from the interface, not default. How would I change the permissions setting you are talking about. I think that might be it because it only started happening within the last couple months
but permissions are within new standard Settings > System > Sound controls interface. which then has links to the Settings > Privacy Controls (directly accessible as well) for Location, Camera and Microphone (ie which Apps can access what)
Most folks are used to the simplistic Sound controls from Win7... things changed... definitely more complicated now (with decent reason)
For some reason when I went to privacy controls, OBS was in the list of apps that are "not affected" by this setting.Win10 partially made the switch from the old control panel to new System interface... sometimes you have to use both. ugh
