Yesterday I reformatted my computer and installed Windows 10. I wanted to stream Dead by Daylight(a popular game on steam) so I downloaded OBS. I have created one scene on OBS and no sources. It's just a blank OBS pretty much. I did go through the auto configuration when I started OBS for the first time. It put my bitrate wayyy too high and my output scaled resolution wasn't set properly for streaming on twitch.
When I start OBS with Dead by Daylight open all the audio on my computer locks up. The video on youtube starts lagging and buffering a lot. DBD audio is gone but the game isn't lagging. I'm so confused.
EDIT: Here's another log after uninstalling OBS and reinstalling, without running the auto configuration.

EDIT: My microphone and headset are both default devices in my windows audio devices. All other devices are disabled. It is baffling me how I haven't put a single thing into OBS yet ruins the audio on my entire computer. YouTube videos lag, game has no audio, cant hear friends in Discord but they can hear me.
EDIT: I have just replicated the problem by going into my device manager and searching for updated drivers for my Logitech headset. The audio bugged out and I couldn't hear anything aside from an audio tick every 1 second or so. The most recent drivers were already installed. I searched for updated drivers for my headset again after resetting and the problem did not occur.
EDIT: It seems this audio issue can happen at any time. It just happened again when I was watching a movie. It very rarely happens randomly like this but it happens 100% of the time when I have OBS open.
