Question / Help Any Microphone Terminates when Game Loads or On Game Loading Screen

Started streaming through the PC, previously did so through the laptop. Having a problem with the Microphone where when a game e.g. Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition starts, the microphone just cuts out. In order to activate the microphone again, I have to go into the properties, select a different microphone, press OK, go into the properties again and select the actual Mic that I want to use.

It's sort of like what happens when you select a different Default Audio device while OBS is already up and running. Except with the Microphone, it keeps happening during game loading screens too. Was streaming Far Cry 5 last night, and every time I get the loading screen, the microphone terminates. So, every time I died, and get that sort of loading screen, I have to go on OBS, and select a different mic, before going back to the mic that I actually want to use.

Tried Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and the microphone cuts off during the Splash screen that shows up from pressing "Play" on Uplay. Not even in the game yet, and the microphone goes out. Somewhat the same as Final Fantasy XV, where the microphone's gone before even the first loading before the main menu shows up.

Other problem I have is Dropped Frames, with the hardware that I have, and my gigabit internet, I'm confused as to why that's happening too. But my main concern right now is the microphone. I don't think it happens when I stream console games through the capture card though.

I narrowed it down to the Microphone and the Webcam not playing well together. Even though I set the OBS Mic to the Yeti, whenever a game starts, that microphone just dies, even outside of OBS. I even disabled the Webcam Microphone in the Device Manager, and it still happens.

Narrowed it down to just the Blue Yeti. If I select a different microphone, like a headset microphone, the problem doesn't happen.

Tried with WWE 2k18, and though the microphone doesn't terminate at loading screens, it happens randomly after some time, just like when I streamed the PS4 with a capture card.

Did a test stream for Twitch Inspector, for dropped frame issues. Started off with the microphone working. Left it alone, went out to watch a movie. Got home, 3 hours later, and the mic's not working anymore. No game was running at the time.

Dropped frames is resolved now. Switched to Wifi, and now getting 0 dropped frames, even at 5500 bitrate. But microphone thing still happens constantly. Something like every 20 or so minutes.

Can confirm that the Webcam has something to do with the problem. Set it to disable when the source isn't showing, hid it on all my scenes, and the problem doesn't happen.

Some help / input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
