[SOLVED] OBS cannot detect any audio devices

Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/D1mMm
Using ALSA
Headset speakers and microphone enabled in alsamixer
Using package obs-studio x86_64
Audio devices (both speakers and mic) are detected and used completely fine in other applications, but OBS cannot see any devices. Video seems to work fine in OBS, however.

Output of "uname -a"

Re: [SOLVED] OBS cannot detect any audio devices

OBS is...finicky. You may need pulseaudio if you don't want to set up a complete JACK configuration.
