Hi all,

For the past couple of weeks I have had an issue with a clicking noise in my microphone recordings, I have ben scouring the internet for possible solutions but nothing has worked this far.

The sound isnt distorted or static, it sounds like a very deliberate clicking and it almost always happens just after I finish saying a word. I use nvidia broadcast as well.

So far I have tried
- Updating my drivers
- Checking that microphone and OBS are both set to 48000
- Rolling back to a previous version of OBS
- Reinstalling audio drivers
- Running the USB tree and making sure the microphone is on its own hub
- Switching the microphone to a USB 2 port instead of USB 3
- Switching to higher power settings
- Turning off fast boot
- Trying a different microphone (the sound is the same)
- Disabling audio devices I am not using

I'm not sure what else I can do here. My only thoughts are that for a while the underfloor of the PC didn't have the filter on so some dust my have gotten somewhere it shouldn't. I also note one of my earlier logs had max buffer reached so it might be something to do with this and I also do have a lot of USB devices connected but most of them are internal, I do wonder if it is USB overload.

I have attached my most up to date logs and also a picture of the USB tree.

If anyone can help please let me know.

Thanks
