1. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via these instructions.
2. One of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Digital Audio Interface (2- USB Digital Audio): 96000 Hz
V705-G1 (HD Audio Driver for Display Audio): 48000 Hz
Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio): 48000 Hz
3. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
4. Record to FLV or MKV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.
If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window.
If still having issues, post new log.

1. I turned off the GPU scheduling, as you suggested.
2. There was no other option for the digital audio interface besides the 96000 Hz
3. I turned on the admin
4. I recorded everything as MKV and then remuxed it.
After all of that, here is the file since the problem is persisting.

Did you create an audio loop by using a microphone (stand-alone or via an external camera) which can hear desktop audio (ie, you used speakers instead of headphones)? Unlike many consumer apps which combine single source video and audio and use patented software to filter out system audio from mic input to audio echo, OBS requires you to handle such considerations yourself.
You don't need a mic to do that. You only need to Monitor something, send the Monitor to "some device", and have a Desktop Audio or Audio Output Capture that picks up that same device. That's a loop too.
The default settings are to defer all of the device selections to the operating system, which often makes them the same, which again, creates the loop. Never use Default anyway, because the OS can change what that means at any time, and suddenly your audio breaks for no apparent reason. Always choose a specific device, or Disable if you're not using it anyway.
