Bug Report Microphone Stops Working

[IAmSp00n]

Soooo... A few minutes/hours into my stream, the microphone audio stops showing (the green fluctuating bar). Shortly after it stops showing up, it will cut out and my stream will start yelling at me and threatening to beat me if I don't fix the issue. Now, a simple restart to the stream usually fixes the problem, but I lose a lot of views. Is there something weird the the latest update that would cause this? Is there a fix? Halp.

I've had this happen with 'Use Mic QPC timestamps' enabled. My mic device apparently falls too far behind, and OBS starts just throwing it out.

Post a log from a live streaming session where this occurred. They're stored in %appdata%\OBS\logs and are timestamped appropriately.

If you have mic qpc timestamps enabled make sure to increase "scene buffering time" to 700 or greater to compensate for mic transmission delay (which does appear to happen unfortunately, I may have to rewrite a lot of audio code, -again-, just to fix these problematic go^% d$*% mics/systems)

Using it with something like Screaming Bee (audio massager program, trying to use it even just as a simple EQ to kill some bass) it may have to go higher still; apparently OBS gives up when the timestamps go past about 1000ms delayed and just will never come back, which takes approximately 15 seconds, then needs a restart to start playing audio again. Especially annoying as with QPC timestamps off, the audio appears to drift a lot almost at-random (blaming the audio massager there though).
