Also, here's an image showing both audio bars engaged in the current track. So, how do I get my audio to only play through my desktop audio channel and not through desktop audio and mic together. It's probably a simple fix, but I've tried everything I could find and it hasn't fixed it yet. However, mine is running the audio through both channels simultaneously. Most people with similar problems have an issue with their mic picking up the audio as it comes out of their pc. I uninstalled and reinstalled OBS and I've tried a lot of fixes that other people reported, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has had this problem. More often than not though, after a minute or two of running OBS, the two tracks will separate and my mic will stop picking up desktop audio. Sometimes while I'm trying to fix it, it will stop happening and sound will only come through the desktop audio and the mic will work properly.

When I stream or record like this, there are two distinct tracks playing which causes a pretty rough echo.

It's not bleeding in, sound is just being picked up by the mic, the audio from my game is fully playing through both the the desktop audio and microphone. I've been having a recurring problem of my desktop audio playing through both my desktop audio tab and the microphone tab.
