Volume of recording is extremely low except my mic input

Hello,

I've been recording audio with OBS for about 2 months now. The audio mixer settings are unchanged for both "Desktop audio" and "Mic/Aux". I previously never had an issue with the recording volumes of either. I noticed that the volume of everything except my OWN mic is extremely low, it's to the point where I barely hear it on the recording & if I wasn't "listening" for it, I probably wouldn't hear it at all.

Just some other info: The majority of my recordings are with me using Discord, I don't actually record any video. The sounds I record are of talking (myself, other people chatting), a music bot within Discord, and any gaming sounds that come from the games I'm playing. Sometimes other audio from my web browser is also included. Previously, had no issue hearing ANY of these sounds.

The log file was from a short recording I did to test the volume of my mic and desktop audio of a song playing in my web browser (which ironically was actually loud to me during the recording). If you'd like to hear it, this is it (approx 40 seconds): https://youtu.be/8zCQTYNxIlo

Thank you for any insight & assistance!

Here is my log file:
 
Going to post this in case anyone in the future reads this. I found that by clicking the gear icon next to the mic under "Audio Mixer" & going to "Advanced Audio Properties", you can check the box next to "Volume" to change it from dB to % and then change the percentage can help even out the audio volumes from different sources, for example, I set "Desktop audio" to 100% and my mic to 300% & now they sound about the same level within the recording.
