Question / Help Since Update, can't capture audio even though settings all the same

[HotelCharliHill]

Hey guys, thanks for all your help thus far. I've been streaming for two weeks and uploading 1080p recordings to youtube and it's all going really well!

BUT, i updated to the new version 20 or whatever. I anticipated problems (murphy's law) so I took screenshots of ALL my settings JUST IN CASE the update reset everything to default (SO THANKFUL THAT IT DID NOT).

But started doing testing with xbox one and ps4 because i'd like to try to figure out how to capture game/party chat via CTIA cables going into the LINE IN of my avermedia (i think i just realized the cause of my issue).

Anyway, now I get no sound captured in obs from my LGHD2 device "digital audio interface"

I've yet to test it with my gaming PC because I KNOW it's worked with xbox one.

But I think I know the cause... I think it's cause I plugged in the headset line to the capture device to capture the headset and now it thinks it should no longer capture audio from the HDMI, am I right? I'm going to unplug and test and find out. If that's the case, then the next question is "How do I capture incoming chat while capturing game audio without pushing game audio through my headset - because that's annoying).

Nope unplugging the line did nothing. I've reset OBS and tried to see if that would change anything. Nada. Only difference between having the headset line plugged in and not is that before it was picking up a quiet but incessant electrical buzzing caused by having the USB cord plugged into the controller. This was indicated by the green movement on the mixer bars, quite substantial actually. Unplugging the headset OR unplugging the usb cord made the buzzing in my headset stop (obviously) and it made the green mixer movement decrease to about a centimeter's worth of movement, yet no audio from the console source.

Just tested my PC, no audio still.

What is going on here???? How could it suddenly NOT WORK when I had it working before? I've changed NOTHING else.

k, I got the LGHD2 playing capturing game audio again now. I have no idea how, I didn't change any settings, just turned OBS on and OFF and my receiver on and off and finally it worked. Lame.
