Question / Help Game video lags behind audio when streaming with Elgato HD60S

Hello,

Webcam & Mic are working fine and sync'd properly.

I'm streaming Zelda on Wii U using HD60S and OBS Studio. If my internet lags out for whatever reason, the audio will get ahead of the video (I assume dropped frames cause the video to lag behind, and stay behind for the rest of the stream).

I tried googling solutions and found someone saying that I should use device timestamps - this option isn't available under the Elgato properties. It's available under Desktop Audio but it was already checked when I looked for it, so it doesn't seem to help.

Some streams it will be perfectly fine, while others it will become desynced very early (in this video, you can tell the audio is already ahead at the 5 minute 50 second mark when I pick up some mushrooms): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/127532545

My CPU usually runs at like 5 or 6% so I don't think my settings are too high, but I have no control over my internet having a hiccup now and then, which is bound to happen during a 6 hour stream. Is there a way for the audio to notice when it is ahead, and correct itself, like that timestamp option?

Thank you for your help!
