Hey, sorry if in the wrong forum place, but I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem that I seem to be suffering from.
Basically put, at certain intervals, OBS will randomly (for a few milliseconds) drop the Microphone audio before resuming it, making it sound like a stutter/crackle due to the sudden stop.
This got worse recently when I started using an Audio Interface, since the a proper Amp/Gain setup exposes the defects/problems of this issue much more severely, to the point where I thought my hardware got damaged.
I ran some tests, including different interfaces, USB cables, mics, etc. No matter what I can't seem to find a solution. I tried Audacity and a Video Editing Software to record on the spot for about an hour, and both of them recorded clean audio with no interval mic drops like at all.
However, the Mic drops are still there when it comes to OBS. I tried recording with Device Stamps On/Off, Filters On/Off, etc. I ran the entire Gamut of everything I could find for trouble shooting and can't find what the reason could be.
The only things I didn't do but cannot imagine they would affect this Mic Drop specifically (since before OBS 27 this was not a problem - just like how the Audio drift issues started post OBS 28).
- OBS NDI Filter is actually causing a Mic Drop intervals (which no one seems to have noticed in all these years - and sounds worse with high quality audio)?
- OBS needs Admin mode, but I never had to use it and it seems like it's not needed nowadays (unless it still is and most of the info out there is wrong)?
- OBS Mono Mode for Mic doesn't work properly (even though it seems like everyone uses it without problems)?
- OBS needs BOTH Device Timestamps Disabled (Mic and Desktop) vs. only one (which I don't recall being an issue or a thing)?
- HAGS still has issues (I thought this might have been fixed based upon latest info)?
- Nvidia GPU's still have latency issues which affect audio (MSI)?
- OBS isn't able to manage the Host Audio Process on my end (my previous 2 softwares recorded from the MME, I don't know if that matters)?
If anyone knows anything, I would really appreciate it, because it's honestly driving me crazy how ever 1:30-3:00 minutes followed by a randomly interval within an hour has a random mic audio drop for no reason.
Cheers in advance!
PS: I already uploaded the Log files and checked them, OBS literally doesn't provide any information about this problem since it seems to be flying under the hood.
