Max Audio Buffering after log file analyzed, totally confused.

So I am currently having issues with 29.1.1 build (Source Cleanup Error) however when I had a logfile analyzed I was told I had this error

I have absolutely zero clue what any of this means.
I've added desktop audio as a source and never knew that this was happening at all? What does it mean and how exactly am i going to fix it.
What is an 'Incorrect device timestamp' too?

The 'Incorrect device timestamp' is when Video Capture Device provides data that is too late (or too early) for the real-time encoding. OBS tries to keep all sources in sync, thus add delays. But because data flow is continuous the already received data from the device is temporary stored (buffered) in the RAM. If OBS is too busy - it cannot process all sources in time, thus you may got undesirable buffering. So, you can try to lower encoding complexity for your PC (cap rendering framerate, lower resolution, lower fps etc). In some cases this also can be caused by the faulty device drivers (in this case - look for updates from the manufacturer of the device).

I would change my in OBS settings however they are all greyed out and have yet to discover why.
Much appreciated.

OBS settings ... they are all greyed out...
One of the OBS outputs is still active.

You can use special script to determine which one is still running (don't forget to remove the script from the Tools > Scripts list after you done your investigation):
