OBS may not pick up game audio due to incorrect audio device settings. Ensure your desktop audio device in OBS is set to the default or the specific device you're using. Also, check the game’s audio settings to confirm it’s outputting sound correctly. Run OBS as an administrator to ensure it has the necessary permissions. Plug in and select a different audio source to see if the issue persists. Updating audio drivers can also resolve unnoticed issues.
