No dekstop audio registered in obs, audacity, or simplescreenrecorder

Post by inmate4850 »

Linux Mint Mate 20.2 x86_64
Kernel 5.11.0

I have two audio interfaces which work fine and which obs recognizes, as they appear under devices, but the meter for desktop audio doesn't move. I've checked my sound settings to make sure nothing was muted, changed kernels, and even tried reinstalling obs but no luck. Simplescreenrecorder doesnt pick anything up either so I don't think it's an obs problem. All of a sudden linux just stopped working with them.
I booted a live mint cinnamon OS and obs picked up both interfaces just fine so I'm thinking it was some system update but I have no idea how to go about figuring out which one.
The only way I can get desktop audio to show up on obs is to change the source to my internal sound card and not the interfaces.
