Using Open Broadcaster Software v0.65b (64-bit primarily, but confirmed same issues with 32-bit).
I'm currently running the following rig:
AMD 8320 FX
ASRock 970 Extreme4
8gb ram
Toshiba 840 512gb SSD/1TB WD Caviar Black
AMD Radeon 6870
EVGA 850Watt G2 PSU
Windows 7 64-bit SP1 with all latest updates.
I should have more than enough power for everything to be working correctly. I have two pro audio devices that I use to create a lagless relay for streaming. A Steinberg UR44 for Mic input, Skype chatter, and game audio. These normally flow directly into a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB 1.1 for capturing, streaming and recording. I have switched between the two and encountered the following issues:
If I set the Steinberg as my main audio device and mic input in OBS, then everything works fine except for audio. Every 2-7 seconds it will "hiccup", and completely cut out on the stream, the recording, and on the preview. I can hear it on my machine as well, so OBS is capturing it properly but the hiccups only happen when OBS is running the preview, record, or stream. These hiccups do not happen outside of OBS running.
If I set the Focusrite as my main audio device (disabling mic input, since it is not needed as all game, mic and skype audio flows from the steinberg), the same thing happens, so it is definitely affecting the Steingberg for hiccups.
If I set the Focusrite as my main audio device, and hook up my mic to it and run skype and game through it, then I do not get any audio hiccups but my in-game framerate drops from a consistent 60fps to 10fps at best, sometimes way worse.
I'm at my witts end here. I went out and purchased the new PSU because I thought my old one was not powerful enough to run all the usb devices at the same time while streaming, but that does not seem to be the case.
I can provide my latest log, but I am not seeing any events being logged whenever the audio hiccups. Any assistance or insight would be greatly appreciated, folks.
