I've always used 44.1khz audio sample rate while using the old OBS. However, in OBS Studio, I must use the 48khz audio rate sample setting, or the audio/video from my capture card (xbox one / ps4) will be horribly desynced.

Ok, no problem, I'll change all my settings to 48khz (my sound card, my microphone and obs setting) so everything plays nice. That fixed the desync, but now when I'm recording/streaming, there is this audio skip/pop noise every 2-4 seconds. I can't hear it when I'm actively playing, but it shows up in recordings and shows up in my streams. It's very hard to notice, but once you notice it, you can't NOT hear it. It only happens in OBS Studio. It's driving me nuts.

Yes, I've installed iTunes for coreAudio. Does not help.

OBS Devs, you are my only hope.

Went back and tested old OBS. If I run my sound/microphone at the 48khz and set OBS to 48khz, I get video/audio delay. If I run my sound/microphone at 48hhz and OBS at 44.1khz, no desync. If i run my sound/microphone at 44.1khz and OBS at 44.1khz I don't get any desync. WTF

Update. I changed my desktop audio source to use my onboard audio which uses 16-bit instead of 24-bit on my audio card. the popping is gone.
