Question / Help Multiple Microphones Getting Out of Sync Mid Recording

I have been using OBS to make multitrack audio recordings for YouTube videos. I have it set up with 4 USB microphones (2 Blue Yeti and 2 Blue Snowball). On every single recording, at least one of the microphones (never the same one) gets out of sync from the rest creating an echo. I end up having to remove the echo out by moving the tracks around in editing, but it gets very annoying to constantly realign 4 audio tracks. The audio tracks never get off the same way. One recording, there will be one mic that got off by a millisecond, and the next recording there will be one mic that is -10ms and another that is -3ms by the end of it. I have no idea what is making them get off from each other. I was having the same problems recording all on one track which is why I switched to multitrack, so I could at least edit it out. Is there some simple setting that I am missing?
 
I am having the same issue, when recording with two Blue Yeti (non-pro) mics, the audio will begin to desync and seems to get worse the longer OBS is open. If I close and reopen OBS then the mics are back in sync.

I have ensured that the sample rate and bit depth are the same for both mics.
 
I don't think this problem is related to OBS. I hooked up both my microphones to VB-CABLE and the audio gets out of sync there as well.
