Hi,
I'm getting the "Starting the output failed message" when trying to record. I was able to record no problem before so I'm sure it's not my drivers. The only thing that I did different, is I tried to connect my Blue Yeti USB microphone to work with OBS studio, and it didn't work (didn't record any sound) so I played with settings but couldn't get it to work. I restored the original audio settings but now I get this "Starting the output failed" message. I restarted my PC several times but still the error persists. Please help! Here is my log file:

If you know how to solve this, I would appreciate step-by-step instructions, as I'm not a computer genious as many on this forum.
Thank you!
