Split OBS Audio, my mic and my discord call, glitched audio.

[Valdisimo]

So I've been recording my sessions through obs, when I'm playing games with a friend. My audio is split into different bars on obs, my mic is a bar, discord call is a bar, the game audio is a bar. However, whenever I talk over my friend, even a little bit, his audio gets pulled down in the recording, it becomes very quiet and muffled, almost impossible to understand. this ruins a lot of moments. the game audio doesn't get affected. This can't be discord cause his audio doesn't get affected in the moment, only after im viewing the recording and editing it in my software. Hence it must be obs, but I can't figure out what could be causing it inside of obs. It sounds like audio ducking, but I don't think it is. Only my mic has a compressor filter on, which has ducking disabled. Ducking is also disabled in advanded obs audio settings. Ducking is also disabled in discord too!
