Question / Help Recording using MKV and only getting one Audio Track??

[Carson Daley]

I am trying to set up OBS to record my gameplay and such and have found that I can not have two audio tracks. I know mp4 and mkv support It or at least that's what I have read, I have also read flv does not support it. So here are my settings and I was wondering if anyone could lead me to a solution. Thanks guys

What's telling you that you're only getting 1 audio track recorded?

According to your configuration, you're writing 2 audio tracks. The first contains you Mic and the second contains your Desktop audio. You have a 3rd device that generates audio, a video capture device, but the audio of this device isn't written to any audio track.

To hear a audio track other than just the first, you have to switch the audio track within your media player. Any media player will play only one track at a time. To hear a mix of all your audio tracks, you have to use some kind of postprocessing software and mix your audio tracks with it.

Like what kind of software would I need to do that?

Hi Carson Daley,
MKV file format original makes it a single track when it comes to viewing in a media player or editing software.
Don't worry, your settings are working. The programs you are viewing can only use one track to listen through.
You can check using MPC-HC (x64 if your running 64-bit system) I sent a attachment to let you see.

Software like Handbrake does this all for you, you can import back into a mp4 format as you wish.

Insert your video to handbrake, head to the audio tab and select Add All Remaining Tracks.
After that, go to save as and name it a different name you remember. After that, Ta-da! (Remember to hit Start Encode!)
