Question / Help Microphone stops recording after 10 minutes

[SirStefan]

My microphone is fine up until 10 minutes, until all of a sudden it stops recording my microphone's audio.
It has been this way for about a week, and in each video i record it stops recording around the 10 minute mark.
Here's my audio settings:

My microphone is a Realtek High Definition Audio Headset, and it works fine for me, except for a little static.

This is the log with a video that had the audio problem.

If any of you software gods could figure this problem out for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Peace.

in Advanced Settings, is "Use Mic QPC timestamps" on or off? For me turning this option on causes more problem then keeping it off.

So now we have to report here? OK.

Well, just to avoid having to copy/paste everything again (my posts and other guys'), please refer to this topic: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/microphone-stops-working-cannot-seem-to-pinpoint-cause.4024/

I have a Logitech G930 and I only have been having problems with OBS. I did try recording videos with Xsplit (for example) and my mic worked the whole time.

Today I recorded a small game session just for the sake of testing. At the same time I was talking to a friend on Discord. OBS stopped capturing the sound from my mic, but at the very same time my friend was listening to everything I said.

So please, give us some attention. I really, really enjoy OBS and I would like to keep using it for my gaming sessions.

yes im still having the problem with OBS not capturing my mic after a certain time, usally about 10 minutes into the stream. works just fine without OBS running so idk what the issues is.
