Question / Help Microphone dies when LIVE but not in preview

Ok so the best way I can explain it is that the mic works fine on everything and so does the webcam... and even in preview mode on stream it works but as soon as I tab into games when I'm LIVE the mic dies on OBS and in the "Recording Devices" panel so I would have to reset it on recording panel and restart obs for it too come back up and work in the preview mode again but doesn't work again when LIVE.

I've had this problem for months now and it's incredibly irritating and I'm not sure if anyone else is having the same issue with it. The microphone I have is an Audio-Technica-AT2020-Condenser.

and it doesn't even stop here, I have found a sort of solution but I don't like it. EVERYTHING works even when LIVE if I run the webcam at 480p. I have eliminated the few obvious answers such as lack of usb power or port power etc as I've bought a hub and it didn't work still. (480p looks like complete garbage on stream.)

If anyone has any help or any tips please I would be grateful.

Bump with more information..

some people are suggesting I upgrade to windows 10 as it could fix it if anyone can confirm?
