Question / Help Audio stuttering when recording a PSOne game

Hello, I'm having audio stuttering problem when trying to record my game play from PSOne.
First here is my log: https://obsproject.com/logs/1PfMGSrqicvHZ9bu
I'm using a HDMI to USB3.0 capture card and AV2HDMI upscaler (images attached).
I've tried tweaking audio settings on OBS and disable unnecessary recording devices on Windows but with no results.
Here is an example of my record: https://streamable.com/lueno

Thank you

You've got two GPUs and you've set OBS to run on the weaker, integrated one. This is required for desktop captures, but not for using external capture devices. Configure OBS to launch on your Nvidia GPU.

No output session in log. Although I tend to doubt you should be targeting 1080p60 with this hardware, I doubt even the Nvidia GPU in this machine is strong enough to render that.

The workaround is to target a lower framerate/resolution. Your laptop GPU isn't suited for 1080p60 (does a PSOne even output 1080p60?). Shoot for 1080p30, 720p60, or 720p30.

There might be other issue(s) than this but without a logfile with an output session it's hard to say. The issue might be with your capture hardware.

I've switched my upscaler to 720p and also changed framerate to 30 and the only thing that added just more blurriness to the screen. Audio is still stuttering.

EDIT: I opened OBS as admin also but the same problem prevails. Heres an updated sample: https://streamable.com/mgh9d

Your canvas, output, and recorded resolution in that logfile are all still 1080, and the resolution and framerate on your capture device is still 108060.

USB3 should be able to handle a 1080p60 capture but it's possible your machine cannot?
