Bug Report Corrupted audio while streaming

[JohnnyTH]

Greetings,

after an hour of perfect streaming audio started to corrupt and microphone source was gone. I didn't do anything in particular, just playing the game. This is a audio spectogram after playing through Twitch, restarting the stream went back to normal.

System: Windows 7, (OBS 64 bit)
Output: x264 CBR 600
buffer size 2500
CPU: fast
Profile: baseline
Tune: (none)

Audio sample rate: 48khz

Any ideas on how to prevent this?

I have the same.
Yesterday I added the Compressor filter and the audio codec worked fine throughout the broadcast.
I test on default encoder and install CoreAudio.

I have some updates, I upgraded to 18.0.1 and did more testing, and I caught on recording the exact moment when it happened.

Also, restarting the stream and/or the game does not solve the problem, I have to *restart OBS* to get it working fine again, until it starts again (after random time, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 40 minutes).

Any clues?
