Question / Help Gradual Webcam Desync

Hello, I use a Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000, and I have an issue with the buffer gradually increasing while I stream with a delay on my camera.

When I stream PC games, I don't use a delay on my webcam/microphone, and everything works 100% perfectly. I had some sound sync issues that were alleviated by using the "Use Mic QPC timestamps" option. However, when I stream console games with my Elgato capture card, it has an inherent 1500ms delay, so I delay my microphone and webcam by that amount. Everything starts out synced up, but after a short while (~1 minute) the webcam lags behind noticeably. My webcam is a huge part of my stream and I would rather not go without it when I stream console games, so what can I do? I've scoured the tomes of the internet and haven't found a solution to this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Bump, everything else works perfectly and I'd really like to play console games with my viewers again.

My only suggestion would be to play around and adjust your delay times until it stays pretty well synced. By the way though, most viewers do understand if you are a little unsynced. Hope this helped!!

I had a lifecam which had a similar problem.
Try this:

In OBS, right-click the webcam in the sources and click "Properties"
Check "Custom Resolution" And select a lower resolution.
Try out 1280x720 or 800x600 and is if this removes the audio desync.
