I have an Aver Media C875 Portable Capture Card that I use for console gaming and have recently run into issues with it while trying to stream PS4 console gameplay. However, the problems that I have run into might not necessarily be from the cap card, but from something else that might be "interfering" with it while I'm streaming. More specifically, I am thoroughly convinced that my Logitech C920 HD webcam might possibly be the culprit. The reason I say that is because I first noticed crackly sounds while streaming Pokemon on my 3ds xl capture card. Everyone knows that I have my webcam on while streaming everything, Pokemon included. Anyway... I thought my 3ds xl card was breaking so when I went to go refresh it I had accidentally unchecked the box in OBS that was for my webcam and the second my webcam turned off, the crackly sounds went away. Now back to my Avermedia... I was also thinking that it was breaking so to see if it was the webcam, I unchecked the box in OBS for it. Viola, no more crackly sounds when I turned it off. So now my question to all of you is... How am I able to use my Avermedia and Webcam at the same time in high settings without knocking down the quality? I know there are people out there that haven't had to tone down the quality of their settings just to get their stuff to work together.


PC Build: This is what I had originally purchased in 2011 http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03050867. I have since then upgraded the processor and graphics card to. the following:
  • Processor: Intel i7 2600 (Sandy Bridge)
  • Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7700

My recent broadcast show the problem that i've been having right at 05:17:00 - http://www.twitch.tv/stormylilac93/v/36711337


I had also just ran a speed test and my results were as followed:
  • Ping: 40
  • Download Speed: 61.98
  • Upload Speed: 6.30

As stated above, I do use OBS as my streaming software. Again, I am also using a Logitech c920 HD Webcam and also using a Blue Yeti microphone.

Other Miscellaneous OBS Info (I can provide more info if needed):
