Ubuntu MATE 20.04, OBS error when starting

Hi, I am new at OBS and audio in general so apologies if I have missed anything that may seem obvious. OBS was working fine until today. I open it up today and it froze after I went into the settings.I force quit OBS and restarted it, and the same thing happened. This repeated a few times until finally, OBS does not even open. According to my program manager, it is running, but I do not see the UI. I am not sure what has caused this, but I suspect it being an audio issue due to the error log I posted below from running 'obs' in terminal. For reference, I use OBS to stream DJ sets using Mixxx, and I have JACK installed to capture Mixxx audio (since Mixxx suspends PulseAudio to use ALSA by default, I read on a Mixxx forum thread that JACK is how you get Mixxx's audio to register on OBS). This has worked fine in the past, but I am not sure why this error is being caused now since I have not changed anything. These are just my own thoughts, but as I am unfamiliar with what the log says, please let me know if anyone reading this thread can help. Thank you!
