Question / Help Mic sounds like it's at super low bitrate

[blender]

I have the CAD u37 mic, and for some reason when I put audio bitrate to anything below 224, it makes the mic sound like its being recorded at super low bitrate, and by that I mean I hear that compression noise (artifacts? Dunno what it's called exactly) that happens with super low bitrates. This includes bitrates of 192 and 160. This does not happen to me when using OBS Classic... mic sounds great at 128 bitrate there.

What audio format does OBS Studio use? I don't see the option to change it and see if that fixes the issue.

I'm streaming on Twitch and have to use 224 bitrate in order to avoid that compression static noise, will that earn me punishment since Twitch says max bitrate should be 160 for AAC and 128 for MP3?

there were some suggestions about iTunes installation: Audio loss (but still displays as if it's working)
and maybe you may interesting in this thread: USB Audio interfaces inputs sound is wavy/echoey
You may try it.

Ha! It worked!

I installed the two AppleApplicationSupport.msi files from the iTunes installer, and that fixed the issue!

Thanks a bunch man!
