Hello all. Constantly adding audio buffering on startup, now not sure where to start anymore, tried everything. (don't ask for deleting sources please)
Only OBS started. (nothing else) Cpu load maximum 20%. GPU load 40% maximum. Stream is getting audio lags sometimes. (overval ok)

Audio buffer source is random and time too on start. 21-42 (sometimes rise on stream, sometimes not)

I`m not playing games, so only OBS working all the time.

Logs:

Thanks alot for any information and help.

No output session in log, so there's no performance data in the log to help with.

You need to open OBS, start an output session, observe your issue, close the output session, and upload the Current log from the Help menu without quitting OBS.

13:00:58.503: adding 42 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 42 milliseconds (source: Скрипка Электро)

20-40 ms of audio buffering is not necessarily enough to be concerned about; if you're having sync problems during a stream, that is not necessarily related. This is an issue if you see it spike to higher levels, like several hundred or 1000ms or more, because that will clearly cause sync issues. There's only one entry in your log and it does not repeat or increase, so I don't know what problem you are experiencing but I don't think it is related to this log line, unless when your stream starts there are more of them.

I honestly don't know if the sheer number of sources in your setup is contributing to this problem or not, but unless you need to have all of those sources available within every single streaming or recording session, they would best be kept in separate scene collections, as having that many loaded, all with hardware acceleration off, can overload OBS.
