Question / Help Mic muting itself? Also some sync issues

[TaxedForLife]

Hi!
First of all, thank you for a great streaming software! I've really enjoyed it!

I've run into a small issue with my new microphone. It seems to mute itself after a while, really random though. If i select my built in mic for a second and switch back to the new mic, its fine again until it mutes again. Sometimes it seems to be in sync, sometimes goes way out. Happens really randomly, sometimes 3 times in 30 mins, sometimes not at all for a whole day....

I'm using quicksync wth a lenovo z50. w7 64bit. If you wish to see a sample, please message me, I will find one from my channel.

After lots of research, with the older OBS, the issue seemed to be solved with a scene buffer time which doesn't exist in OBS Studio?
I am not using timestamps, doesn't seem to make a difference at all though if I do use them.

Here's the log file:

If you need more info, pls shout!
Thanks a bunch!

From the log, your video 2016-10-19 10-23-41.flv is completely fine. Have issues in this file?

Personal recordings to test the stream usually work just fine, that particular one is looking near perfect... It happens when I stream to twitch and usually after at least an hour, if not more sometimes, and sometimes not at all, and the mic still keeps going out of sync all the time weather it mutes or not. Has like small short glitches (cutouts?) of my mic audio... Feels like its trying to sync or something..
I messed around with settings again, I will try to post a new log file just after it happens and also get a link to the stream file for you to see....

Thanks!

So this is from yesterday:

You can see what the sound does if you start it at about 6 minutes. Glitching and going out of sync.... After a while it goes back better (start it at the last 20-30 mins to see the issue solved itself since i didn't change a thing or restart the stream). It didn't mute so far though.

Should be the log from that run:

Thanks Suslik!

You have encoding lag and some connection issues. You can try to assign OBS Studio .exe to Nvidia card in the control panel of the driver. And try to lower bitrate settings, maybe 3500+160 too much for Twitch server you choose.

Hmm, I was trying that earlier today actually, but for some reason nothing happens when I press start stream or record when I had the Nvidia card assigned to obs. It doesn't let me select Quicksync when I force it to use Nvidia. (I think it did let me do that in OBS Classic) I'll lower the bitrate and get back to you with some more results soon.
