Mic audio randomly cutting out

I have OBS set up with a 5 minute replay buffer, video encoded to H.264 and saved to an M.2 SSD that is more than fast enough for the task. Push-to-talk is enabled and bound to the same mouse button as in game. My mic is a USB webcam and is the only microphone of any kind attached to the system.

I keep having my mic audio randomly cut out in the captured video. The video itself is nice and smooth at 60fps. Audio from the game is just fine. Sometimes I come through the mic without issue, and sometimes it randomly cuts out mid-sentence. There's no rhyme or reason to it. OBS is the only program that does this. People have no issue hearing me in-game, so the mic itself isn't cutting out. OBS is being run as an administrator. My computer has gobs of CPU time to spare and there's nothing CPU-intensive running except a single game and OBS. I've seen a lot of reports of this but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

Tried switching to NVENC H.265 instead to take some heat off of my CPU thinking that might be related. It seemed to work for a time, but today I had mic audio cut out during a recording that did not happen in game. It was only for a few seconds, but it's still a problem. OBS is the only program that is randomly losing audio from my mic. It doesn't lose audio from any other source, just the microphone.

I haven't because I don't want constant mic audio in the recording. As previously stated, the mic audio doesn't cut out in game. Everyone can hear me just fine. It's only OBS that randomly loses it.
