I suspect it might have something to do with a number of recent software updates, but I'm not entirely sure and need help identifying what the cause might be. I've tried soundflower instead of iShowU with the same result.Ĭan anyone please tell me what I'm missing? I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling OBS and Discord, to no difference, and then uninstalled all of the relevant software etc and then installed older versions of each application/add-on etc but none of it worked. I've tried everything I can think of, and followed the instructions of various OBS set-up and troubleshooting guides to no avail. It all worked fine up until that point and now OBS will not detect and record audio from Discord at all, no matter what I do to try and direct it to capture that source, and despite still recording other system sounds (such as music playing from iTunes). Since February 2020 everything we usually use to stream and record our audio and video has been beset with issues. I would really appreciate any advice and assistance with solving this issue please.
