Hello!
Since Streamlabs OBS is a free and open-source streaming software that is based on a fork of OBS, you can expect much of the same features between the two. While features for Streamlabs are built by the company, OBS has support for 3rd party plugins built by other developers. Check your Audio settings in Discord; you have a choice of what audio device to output towards. If you are running OBS and Discord on a Windows computer, and output in Discord is going to Desktop System Audio, then check your mixer in OBS as there should be a Desktop Audio source. If you do not see this, then check the Settings menu in OBS. In order to select which audio tracks you want to use for stream and recording, you would need to use the Advanced Output mode in the Output Settings of Streamlabs OBS. For Streaming select track 1 and under Recording check track; 2, 3, and 4. Make sure the Recording Format you selected supports multi-track recording, such as TS, MKV, or MP4. With the release of Streamlabs OBS for Mac, a common question is “Why can’t I capture desktop audio?”. Unlike Windows, macOS does not have any system-level audio routing. This means that individual apps can’t access audio signal from other apps out of the box. However, there are third party solutions that can accomplish this.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: Why do you need to put the extension in Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device, not Desktop Audio Device?
A: In theory, Soundflower & iShowU Audio Capture are 2 different extensions.
iShowU Audio Capture is a virtual mic while Soundflower is a virtual audio grabber. So any virtual mic goes into the Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device & any virtual audio grabber goes into Desktop Audio Device.Q: Can you use this with Quicktime?
A:
Streamlabs Audio Mic
Absolutely! Just select iShowU Audio Capture in the Microphone section.Q: Why does my video have no sound
