Hello, im currently trying to get obs to record audio only (trying to record from multiple sources on computer which is why im using obs and not like audacity or something), and anytime i set it to output to .wav it gives me an unspecified error, so i tried restarting obs, switching to a different audio file type and nothing has worked, some file types (that include video, like mp4, rawvido, mjpeg etc.) do record but ones like .wav .mp3 .mp2, and any audio file types that i have tried, Plus some video file types like vvc, or .y4m dont work, all other settings are unchanged as far as im aware, it just wont output to certain file types, and it has worked before recording .wav but it has stopped, does anyone know how to fix this? i cant figure out why some file types will output but others won't, because some video formats wont output so i know its not just audio file types that wont work? ive tried looking it but have found nothing.
any help would be greatly appriciated.
