Experiencing 'stream breaking' audio/webcam issues despite having capable PC

On multiple streams now i've had serious issues with audio and video but cant figure out the root cause. Today I was streaming Planet Zoo for 2 hours using OBS live. It ran fine for around 2 hours but all of a sudden I started experiencing the audio cutting out on the stream and through my headset. The webcam on stream also started flashing/cracking alongside this. This also happened as soon as I opened the 'animal trading' menu in game.

I've had these issues recently while trying to stream ESO but figured out that the fix for the issue was to switch to NVENC encoding. However on this stream, while is started fine, the issue appeared again out of nowhere and I have no idea why. I think the PC is more than capable of handling streaming so it seems strange to have this happen again.

My PC specs:

Mobo: Gigabyte B550 Aorus elite ATX

Cpu: Ryzen 7 3700x

Storage: WD Blue 1TB SSD

Memory: Corsair Vengance RGB pro DDR4 16GB 3200mhz

GPU: MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 3060 ti

PSU: Corsair RM650 80 plus gold certified

OBS settings:
