Ableton Live in to OBS to livestream- Audio cutting out after a few seconds/minutes

Hey all. I am using OBS on my M3 macbook. I am using display capture to send audio from my second monitor, with ableton live running on that screen. Typically, ableton will send audio to OBS for only a short time before the audio stops going to the OBS display capture channel. I am live streaming and it's pretty frustrating because after a short time, I have to basically reset the display capture and then the audio stops again.
- Ableton's audio output is set to my audio interface so I can hear it through my headphones while streaming
-I have an input channel from that same interface for my microphone so I can use my nice microphone through a separate mono audio input set to my interface
-the display capture channel picks up ableton though only for a short time and it kind of randomly cuts out.
- I have a sidechain compressor so my voice can cut through the audio from my ableton If I am speaking and listening back to music at the same time

Is there some kind of issue with Ableton not being able to be picked up from the display capture AND send audio to my interface for headphone monitoring? I am happy to try sending ableton to another audio output as long as I can then monitor it, which I could do within OBS especially if that would stop this problem.

Any help is appreciated.
