Question / Help Mic stops working after some time

Hi,

Recently when using multiplatform OBS I noticed that the mic will stop working after some time. I noticed this after casually looking at one of my twitch archives and see near the end that my mic is not working. I have a Blue Yeti microphone. So I did some test recording and after about 7 minute mark of a 40 minute test video the mic stops working. In OBS the mic slider is still green and seems to be working but there is no sound in the recording or archives.

I tried changing USB ports and it didn't help. Anyone else have this issue or if there a fix? Thanks.

Here's the log file:

Try the latest version and go to the properties of the mic in question in the mixer and turn off "Use device timestamps". Not guaranteed to work but it's worth a shot.
