Hello all, trying to use OBS to record my trades but the thing invariably shuts down my computer speakers when I launch the program. This is no bueno as I listen to soft music when I am trading. So far nothing I do has restored my speaker sound. I don't need it to record any audio, I annotate on the chart and in Evernote. Help please?

Try this: In OBS, go to Settings >> Audio >> Desktop Audio Device, set it to "Disabled". Same to Desktop Audio Device 2.

Hope this helps.
