Sound Card + Windows 10 - since Win10 update OBS cannot hear Sound

Hey guys,

I am routing audio from DJ equipment to a sound card on Windows 10 which seems to have stopped working. I bought this laptop used a couple of weeks ago and remember there being a big Win10 Update after my first successful stream. I've found a really weird workaround.

I'm using
  1. Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 (installed drivers)
  2. Latest OBS on Windows 10
  3. Other devices that I am muting but are involved in Sound on OBS: Logitech C920 + iPhone 8 Plus OBS Cam + Media Source (spinning video)
OBS could see the Scarlett 2i2 under PROPERTIES, and with audio playing as it should be, the sound meters were not lighting up (yet it was not muted and volumes were high)

I changed the routing of the laptop itself to have the input as Scarlett 2i2

Only when I made the sound play to 'desktop' and told OBS to listen to 'desktop' (or 'default' would it work - but watchers could hear ping / notifications of things like Facebook messenger and any other notification / warning happening on the machine. It was a workaround but I'd really like to get back to how it worked: directly from the USB Soundcard)

Any ideas why OBS suddenly can't hear it direct?

anyone here know how to get OBS to listen to the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (1st Gen)?

My workaround I have to tell Windows to Input with Focusrite 2i2 and Output through the Laptop Speakers and then tell OBS to listen to the Desktop (subjecting listeners to Notification sounds)
