ISSUE: Audio is lagging at max audio buffering. Restarting source audio.

Hey all, long story short - I'm having consistent audio issues when recording using my Elgato 4K60 Pro. The issues is audio crackling after a while of recording, and sometimes immediately after starting recording and the only error code I see is this:

Source PS5/Switch Elgato4K audio is lagging (over by 64731.69 ms) at max audio buffering. Restarting source audio.


Things I have tried to fix the issue:

Changing Audio bitrate from 320 to 160
Disabling all non-used audio (global desktop audio, etc)
Changing the sample rate on OBS and on Windows for the input device
Recording in 1 hour intervals



I've been reading other posts about this trying to find a solution and all I see are workarounds; which at this point that seems to be the only way to deal with this.

Ideally, I would like to know if there is a way to alert myself when the audio does start lagging, so that I can stop the recording - perhaps someone here knows how to set up some kind of alert, or know how to see when the audio begins lagging? The only way I know it starts lagging is to look at the video later and find out that its been ruined, or to look at the log files and see when the audio started lagging.

Any suggestions/experience with this would be great - thank you for your time.
