Question / Help Microphone Issues Help

I've been using OBS studio for a few weeks, and my audio sometimes cuts out - as in the Microphone no longer outputs, but is still detected by OBS, it has also gone really robotty on a few occasions - this also affects Discord. However, this microphone issue never happens while I record using Fraps, in Skype calls or in Discord when I'm not streaming.

It's a real nuisance for me and I have no idea what could be causing it. Last nights stream had a few cut outs and one robot issue, so I've copied the error log.

As you can see, I use a Scarlett Solo audio device, with an AT 2035 Mic

Encountered the same error code and couldn't find anything else on it except here so posting my log too:

If I get this right, similar error codes point to a CPU overload?
