Avermedia Live Gamer 2 no HDMI out unless OBS is running

As the title says I start up my PC and my PS5 and in the past it actually did the pass through fine for me. In the last 2 weeks anytime I try to do this the screen goes blank, no signal from the PS5 to the TV. It is showing up in OBS though which means it is the HDMI out. When it cuts out it stays down for about 5 to 8 seconds. If I start OBS it works perfectly fine. Avermedia is no help on the issue but I feel it can't be the card bc it actually gets the signal when OBS is running. Any help is greatly appreciated bc at this point I am tempted to just get a splitter and not use the HDMI out at all.
