Hello, I have a problem with the fact that when I use the sound separation in the Browser source and there I set the sound control through OBS, while OBS is expanded on the monitor screen, the sound sounds normally, for example music, but when I minimize OBS, the sound after a few seconds starts to crackle as if it is lagging, when I expand OBS again, after a few seconds the sound normalizes and everything sounds fine, it's driving me crazy and I don't know what to do. I have found the only fix for this so far, which is that if you enable it in OBS so that when I minimize OBS to the system tray where the clock is, the sound sounds normally and nothing cracks, but this is the only fix for now. I think that there is still a problem in OBS itself after some update. I checked on a clean installed OBS and even older versions, everyone has this problem. The sound is crackling only in the browser source that is in OBS, nowhere else, neither the game nor anything else has such a problem!

Here is the log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/pyX9k2fdsK2xtjGB

I made a video showing the problem and my temporary solution to it: https://youtu.be/WSCaqtKuxRk?si=s7gC6kePA_bIVIcu

This is a known issue and a few different people have taken a look, the current understanding is that it is an issue with a dependency (CEF) which OBS uses for it's browser. The solutions you mentioned are the only I would have to offer right now as well.

Thanks for the reply, glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem, I hope a final solution and fix will be found in the near future and will be released in the updated OBS.
