OBS Replay Buffer clips laggy/choppy

Whenever I am playing a game or are on my desktop simply watching a video and I go to clip something it's extremely laggy/choppy. It's at like 1 FPS but the audio is perfectly fine.

If anyone can help me out so I can get it back to normal I would greatly appreciate it.

Use faster Presets like P3 or P4, P7 ain't happening...

Remove one of the Display captures from this Scene.
- scene 'Scene':
15:04:08.389: - source: 'Monitors' (group)

15:04:08.390: - source: 'Main' (monitor_capture)

Your audio is lagging real bad & needs to be addressed.

Ahhh okay thank you I was wondering what I needed to change to get the audio to stop lagging. As for removing the secondary monitor I noticed that after I changed to the P4 preset everything seems fine... for now.

May need to work through the audio issues. If you look at the audio lag, mostly the Voice Chat. You're using Device Timing for Desktop Audio, the Voice Chat & VR. I would try Voice Chat & VR without using the Device Timing

Having multiple Display, Game or Window captures in the same Scene can cause interference.

When you run the test, close/re-open OBS after you finish & upload the previous log so I have a complete log to look at.

Not many (any?) changes made & the log is truncated like the first one but I can see VR headset failed again.

05:58:58.930: [WASAPISource::TryInitialize]:[{0.0.0.00000000}.{341fa4ea-840c-4f39-a6f3-6c306fd61947}] Failed to enumerate device: 80070490

Be careful OBS was already running when you started.
5:58:57.222: ================================
05:58:57.222: Warning: OBS is already running!
