Question / Help OBS Crash Issue

[Shortyyguy]

Over the last few weeks I've been having issues with my OBS crashing along with all my audio on my computer cutting out

This issue only occurs when OBS is streaming to Twitch

The extent of the issue is my audio cuts out entirely on my PC and at the same time OBS stops encoding and crashes. I need to restart my PC to regain audio.

I fail to find the cause of this issue but narrowed it down to only happening when I am streaming with OBS, the game I am playing at the time doesn't matter

I have a feeling it may be USB saturation though I do not have much plugged in to my USB ports on my motherboard

Only keyboard, mouse, webcam, and an audio interface which powers my headphones and microphone

I'm trying downgrading my webcam to 720p instead of 1080p to see if that fixes anything

If you guy shave any other ideas that would be great

ive been having the exact same issue the past couple of days, it never happened when i used to stream games from my xbox, now that ive switched to streaming computer games it crashes on some games ( some more than others) an ive been getting very frustrated. im going to keep looking for an answer il reply here if i find anything.

I seem to have fixed the issue by removing my NightDev chat and changing the resolution on my webcam from 1080p to 720p

Not sure which one caused the issue, I'm scared to readd the chat CLR browser source to see if that makes me crash since I don't want my stream to go offline and have to restart my PC

But I am assuming the issue was having my webcam on 1080p creating possible USB oversaturation and that somehow making my audio cut out and stream crash
