Noise suppression that doesnt remove clapping?

Alright I have a problem. I have to use noise suppression of some sort while I'm streaming because there's a lot of buzzing otherwise from usb interference with my audio interface (yes I have tried fixing that, without success). Rnnoise on obs works pretty well except for one thing. It doesn't just cancel out the buzzing, it also cancels clapping and other things like that I still want to be hear on my stream. I've tried many programs and plugins like Nvidias Rtx noise etc, without finding any that keep the clapping.

Does anyone know any ways I can go about doing this?
Thanks!

You can try the other Noise Supression filter (Speex) or the Expander filter.

I've dealt with a large number of noisy microphones (lots of Blue Yeti) and that was the simplest solution without resorting to a soldering iron.

yeah ive tried those but never combining them, that seems to have helped thanks alot. what settings do you recommend for the expander? i know what the threshold does but that not others.

The quick and dirty explanation of each setting:

Ratio: How much dynamic range is expanded or loudness is reduced, when filter is activated;
Attack: Time it takes to trigger to activate the filter when loudness drops below threshold;
Release: Time it takes to trigger to deactivate the filter when loudness increases above threshold;
Output Gain: Adjusts gain after the filter;
Detection: Set to RMS.

I have no recommendations concerning which values are ideal, as it depends highly on each system sound isolation, quality of grounding and so on.

As long as you set your Threshold just above the "hissing" noise and don't set Attack nor Release to values that are too high (hissing audibly fading in and out) or too low (jarring filter on/off audio artifacts), it doesn't take long to test each setting.
