Trouble Recording with Multiple Tracks in OBS on MacBook

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro M2 Max running the latest OBS software. I am currently trying to record a video in OBS that has separate tracks. What I want is for my game audio and mic audio to be separate when I export it as an Mkv and remux it into a mp4. However, my issue is I am only hearing the audio that is assign to track 1. When I import the file into Final Cut Pro it does not show that there are two audio tracks associated with the recorded video. I don’t know why this is but I need a solution before I lose all sanity! My settings are as follows:

Advance Audio Properties (for sources):
  • Mic (Condenser Mic) is set to 0.0dB/Mono/Monitor Off/ Track 1
  • Game (Minecraft Java) – 0.0dB/Mono/Monitor Off/ Track 2
Preferences>Output>Advanced>Record
  • Recording Format: Mkv
  • Video Encoder: (use stream encoder)
  • Audio Encoder: Core Audio AAC
  • Audio Track: 1-5 are enabled

Preferences>Audio
  • Global Audio Devices: All settings are disable. I am only using audio from my sources.
I have been working with this for hours. I have further attached pictures and my last log. Someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can fix it.

I've seen some big-name tools fail to do the most basic things. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a video editor that doesn't show multiple tracks, even if they exist.

I know VLC will play multiple tracks. And Shotcut can use them too. Do those work, at least to see if they're there?
