Seems to be there is another tool running, wich is hooked up the .dll. Something to display ur Frames Ingame? Or Bandicam? DXTory? Dont know if steam can cause this, because u can stream the game for friends with steam. :

Those three are fine usually if it shows unknown source there is nothing that can be done to remove them.

@SteffanDevine a few questions for clarity. does your audio freak out on the stream or the game sound from what you hear? of just the game sound, does it happen on stream as well? I have an idea...
 
All audio stops and has random static sounds while there is no audio the games audio just stops all together when it breaks at first. It only breaks on stream.

Is there a certain time when it breaks? if it happens when you start the game, this can happen if in a game's settings, it changes the speaker configuration from default. Can you post a sample video? does it do it in any game or just one?

EDIT: my idea was dependent on mainly the audio breaking in-game but might still be applicable.

I know this is more than likely stemming with your microphone. Something is up there. I noticed your headsets are also USB. Can you test without the mic? If the problem goes away, you might need to revert your chipset drivers from your manufacturer's website, even if there are newer ones out. try rolling them back to those. As for your USB devices, try keeping them connected to different USB hubs. usually hubs pair 2 or 4 USB ports together which share bandwidth.
 
Random usually within the first hour of streaming. All games. I havent updated anything to do with my mic or headset. also my headset and mic are set up between two different usb hubs. Also sometimes when the audio breaks my mic does freak out but that's like 2 out of 10 times when it happens.

That shouldn't happen at all though. OBS is screaming at your mic for some reason, check you own log.

Again, check chipset drivers to rule that out please
 
I know it shouldn't happen that's why its a problem and I've posted it on here. also all my drivers are up to date. I checked the first time they were mentioned.

I am getting the same problem as this.

I am using astro a50's and my audio is glitching out when i start my stream. Not just when playing a game though

Yes, OBS is having issues with your audio devices. thats as much as I know as well.

Hmm, I currently have two ideas, you could use Voicemeeter Banana. Set it as the default recording and playback device and use it in OBS, then in the software output the sound to your headset and input your microphone for OBS.
Second option would be to try out OBS-MP as it has a different audio system which might help in your case. In the last log the Yeti seemed to lag behind in time after a few minutes of streaming already.
