I am using OBS studio for Mac 0.16.2 on a Mac Book Pro running OSX Version 10.11.16 with 8 Gigs or Ram with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core I7 processor. I am using the internal ISight Camera and a Headset and microphone plugged into a USB port.

I have uploaded a video example of what is happening to Dropbox so that you can see and hear it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zg19theqdq6fx99/ExampleofAudioProblem.mp4?dl=0

So, here is what is happening, randomly during the live video stream the sound will just turn to static, without our doing anything, but never for more than 2:00 minutes and usually for about 1:50 second, and then, without our doing anything it will just clear up and be fine for the rest of show. When you listen to the sound, what static really is, is my voice repeating back what I am saying with like a half second delay. It just starts randomly, it is not when I am changing scenes or not changing scenes, and it just ends on its own.

We thought it was CPU issues but we shut everything down but OBS Studio and we have a minimum of 35% Idle CPU during the entire 30 minute webcast. We have changed USB ports, we have changed headsets, we have restarted the computer before webcasting to make sure there are no memory or CPU issues, we have broadcast from different locations thinking we were getting RF interference from some source, we have tried changing the Audio Setting a dozen different ways, nothing has affected the issue.

We simply cannot figure this out and it makes no sense. Any help would be much appreciated we have read every post on this forum that could possibly help and we have been trying to figure it out for almost three months now.
