trouble with 2 track audio recording

[Escucharbog]

im new to OBS and i've been trying to start a yt channel. i want to record my game audio and commentary in 2 separate tracks but it doesn't work as intended. it either only picks up my voice or only picks up the game's audio. how can i fix this?

This is working as intended. Media players, as well as streaming services, will play back only one track at a time. They will never mix tracks. You can switch between tracks within the media player.
The purpose of multiple audio track recording is to mix them in a postprocessing step with some postprocessing software. This way you have control over each individual audio source before mixing. You import the tracks in the postprocessing software, create a mixed track and replace the two original audio tracks with the mixed track.

Thanks for clarifying, i just wasnt sure why it was acting like that in media player and i genuinely thought something was wrong. Now i know im not crazy and that i had it set up right

For a preview, create a 3rd track and add both audio sources to it. If you create this as track 1, it will be usually the default track that's automatically selected by a media player. Track 1 = sources 1+2. track 2: source 1 only, track 3: source 2 only.
This way you hear everything, and in case you want to change anything in postprocessing, use the additional 2 tracks with the separate sources.
