New GPU, Encoder Errors while live

[mrjimbles_]

Hi!
I recently installed a new RTX3080, since then I've been having repeated Encoder errors which cause my streams to end. It happens multiple times over a few hour period, causing me to have to close and reopen OBS.live.
It happens no matter what encoder I use, what settings I use. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling NVIDIA Drivers, I've also reinstalled Windows and the error continues to occur. Is the card just broke? Is there an issue with the latest NVIDIA driver?
Logs attached, thanks!

The encoder error you're getting isn't actually a video encoder error. It's an audio encoder error.

First of all, if you have iTunes or QuickTime installed, chances are you are already using the CoreAudio AAC encoder in OBS-Studio. But if you normally do not use or install any of those, there is another way to enable it. All we need is the...

Thanks for the advice and I've followed the steps in the link, would a GPU change have really affected this though? Did my old 1080 just handle audio better?

the video card has no direct bearing on audio. What is happening is that there's an audio device hiccup that is causing improper audio data to be fed to obs' audio encoder.

So I've tested it and the encoder error seems to have stopped, we instead had other issues during the stream. Around 10 minutes in(you can see in the log file where I've changed mic multiple times) the mic source stopped working entirely no matter what microphone I used. From that point onwards any time I changed to the "Funky Zoom" source it would black the whole screen out and OBS would become non-responsive for a few seconds.

Is there an issue with my audio drivers? Thanks so much for your help so far.
