I didn't want to create another thread to avoid multiple threads with the same issue, so I'm piggy backing on this one. If I was wrong to do so, just let me know.
It seems I may have the same problem. When RECORDING. The audio from my el gato cuts in and out, when I'm talking (when the mic is being used) I tried to understand what you guys were talking about. Unfortunately I didn't quite understand.
I'm using an el gato gamecapture hd, a blue snowball mic, earforce px22 headphones, and a logitech c920 webcam. (all through USB)
I've tried tinkering with settings and I guess I just don't know what I'm doing.
