Blue Yeti Mic ONLY having bad static sound in OBS

Hi! So I have a huge problem with my Blue Yeti Microphone on OBS. Every time I speak into it, I have a strong static sound (not background noise, literally just a horrible loud static sound whenever I speak that makes me sound kinda robotic). However, this literally only happens on OBS and not any other platforms. So I’m assuming I did something wrong with my OBS setup?

Log File : https://obsproject.com/logs/b3_RYgtIWYQEH0p3

I am using a MacBook Pro 2020 and I used a usb hub to plug my mic into it first then I changed it to a singular USB adapter but there was no difference in my mic quality (a lot of ppl told me to try that).

Anyway, I just need help figuring out what is wrong with my mic please because it only sounds horrible on OBS and I have no idea for how to fix it. By sounding horrible, I mean every time I speak there is a huge static sound that I hear when I listen back to the recording. I also made sure it wasn’t picking up audio from my camera by unplugging my camera and doing a trial recording btw.

Also I’m pretty sure it’s something wrong with my obs setup because I emailed yeti and they said if it works fine in other programs then my obs setup is messed up somehow. Anyway, any help would be amazing because I’ve tried everything I can think of and I can’t find what else to try

Stuff I’ve done to try to fix it/ OBS setup:
1. I’ve muted every other mic in sound -> input settings to make sure it wasn’t getting feedback from those (plus I plugged out my webcam + headphones to make sure it wasn’t using that mic and it still was the same static audio sound)

2. I’ve added all the recommended filters on OBS to try to fix the sound quality and that didn’t help much

3. I’ve disabled every audio device in my audio settings in OBS so only my yeti mic is being used. (Everything is also at 48 kHz)

4. My mic is on the carotid sound setting and the gain is all the way low (also my mic is at -10.3 dB but I’ve also tried changing it and nothing changed)

I have found the answer in another website, I tried it and it works:

"Brief update: Using Handbrake to convert the mkv to mp4 works just fine. No crackling.

YOU LITERALLY ARE AMAZING. Thank you so so much for letting me know. I’ve spent over 2 weeks trying to fix my mic and I can’t believe it was as simple as changing the recording to a custom output FFmpeg. I’ve been dying trying to fix my mic and I appreciate this so much!
