Elgato is maxing out audio buffer

[Zamik]

I am trying to use my laptop for a 2 pc recording setup. I started noticing that the recording is running at a much lower frame rate to the game. checking the log it is showing that the elgato is hitting the max audio buffer. highest cpu spike is 60% but thats when using my browser to type this. also shouldn't it be using my gpu? I don't really see any movement from its usage at all while recording.

cannot seem to find anything about this in searching so any help is appreciated.

just to double check the load i tried recording with elgato's 4kcapture and it recorded perfectly fine with no lag at all at 1080p 60. am i missing somehting about how obs works? or do i need to reinstall it maybe?
