Question / Help Audio Cut-Out Problem

[RyGlock]

Hello,
I've experienced this problem a few times in the past and not really sure why it goes away and comes back.

Basically I'll be streaming, my audio makes a weird high frequency "cherp" and I see my mic audio levels and desktop audio both freeze for a moment.

This only happens while using OBS.

The desktop audio device I'm using is Astro a50's and I have already installed all the new firmware updates and troubleshooted the device.

The new mic I have "at2020" also has the correct new drivers installed.

Graphics card is up to date.

Also, I have the new Elgato HD 60 Pro hooked up. It doesn't use USB it's PCIe.

Any help would be greatly appreciate. Logs attached below.

Thanks,
-Ryan

This shows up a lot in the logs... maybe you should simplify things until you get something working, and do as it suggests?

Also this:

21:49:56: Total frames encoded: 42111, total frames duplicated: 3424 (8.13%)

Is a serious problem. Eight percent duplicated frames is going to look bad no matter what. You want that line in the logs to be under 1%. Fix your sources and see if this goes away. Not sure why its "chirping" but it could be related. Finally, you may want to move your webcam and USB microphone to different USB inputs, if possible, or lower your webcam resolution.

I'd just disable your webcam and simplify your setup to show just your game and see if the performance is good, then add things back one at a time until you find out what the cause of the problems is.
