Question / Help Tracks Keep Mixing

Hello I have been trying to make this work for hours to the point where i had to come here to get help. I've looked at multiple threads and looked for so many answers and none worked let me describe my issue. I am recording from an elgato game capture hd60 and my mic that is connected to an audio box. Whenever I go to edit the gameplay i find that the game sound and mic sound are both embedded into the same track and I cannot edit them separately. I looked through threads and realized i needed to have them boxed in in separate tracks through the advanced audio settings and needed to change my format to mp4 and select track one and two. That did not work. Which ever track was selected as track 1 would be recorded and the second one would not however when the file was opened in lightworks there would be two tracks with the same sound (whatever it was that was selected as track 1.) I just got a new pc and the specs are better than my old laptop however my old laptop for some reason did not have this issue. A part of me wonders if its the fact that obs on this system is more updated but idk. When I try to have them both on track one it also gets mixed (which i know is what is supposed to happen.) I have never had this issue before and it is very frustrating any ideas would help. I just don't understand why it keeps mixing

I felt I should add that when I select my elgato as track 1 and my mic as track 2 and select to record both tracks whenever i go to edit them the first track is only game sound while the second track is my mic and game sound combined which makes me feel like it may be a setting i might be over looking. I just have not been able to keep the game sound from my mic recording seperate
 
Sorry for triple posting but I'm doing this because I figured out that it is actually only recording whatever is on track one and putting that across all 2-4 tracks that are selected to be recorded even though they are not checked on advanced audio properties. Could this be a software issue or could it still be a setting?
 
I can only guess that since you are using the stream encoder as recording encoder, OBS simply re-uses the "stream" stream as recording stream. It does not seem to mux its own recording stream with own audio settings. A fix would be to not "(use stream encoder" but choose an encoder for recording. If you stream at the same timel, keep in mind that you should not overload your system, since you have 2 encodings running if you stream and record at the same time. But if you only record, that will not be a problem.
 
I tried it and it does not work. My elgato footage can only be recorded on track 1. when i set my mic as track 2 it records both however when i edit it track 2 is my mic sound and track 1 combined even though only my mic box is checked on track 2
 
through lightworks. I used it a long time ago and everything was fine it pulls up all tracks that are getting recorded but as mentioned before my game sound gets mixed in with my mic sound now
