Our automatic analyzer found a couple of problems, but I don't think they would cause your issue:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

Every once in a while, someone insists that they've removed all of their filters, only to find that they missed a few, and *that* was where the problem came from. Are you *sure* you don't have a ducker *somewhere*? Or something that's behaving as one?

It's also possible to have two or more sources mixed at different levels, and then compress or limit the mix. That also produces a "ducking" effect when the louder one becomes active. So check for that too, in your entire audio chain, including OBS but not limited to it.

Everything in OBS can have a filter, and you get to it the same way: right-click -> Filters

There are no filters by default, so you have to add them yourself, or someone else. But if you tend to forget what you did 5 minutes ago, you could still have them everywhere.

And Suslik has a good point about Windows. The problem could also be on that side of things.
