Audio crackles and stutters for viewers when capturing certain program audio sources

Every once in a while, my audio starts crackling and stuttering for my viewers, which can last from seconds to a few minutes. The problem is that I can't hear it at all, my viewers need to inform me when it starts.

At first I thought it was my old 1st gen. Focusrite Scarlett. I got a new audio interface (Arturia Minifuse 4, latest firmware), but the audio issues were still there. I've began to suspect that Application Audio Capture might be the culprit. I use it in some scenes, specifically to capture Winamp, ScummVM and Dosbox. I haven't experienced any audio issues with scenes that don't have Application Audio Capture sources, and use something like Desktop Audio or the Loopback feature of my audio interface instead.

Application Audio Capture is important to me because I need the control over specific sound sources separately. Everything from Windows to OBS is up to date.

This log file should be from my last stream:

Win 10
Intel i7-8700K
16GB DDR4
GTX 1070Ti
512GB SSD + 1TB HDD
Arturia Minifuse 4 (v. 1.0.1)

What kind of tool do you use to capture app sound? an extra plugin you intall or you can use it naturally on obs?

I got it fixed. Turns out I was still using a beta plugin that was getting wildly out of control. Had no other option but to switch to Desktop Audio.
