I have a AudioBox USB interface by Presonus that I use for stream. I use a Electro-Voice RE320 microphone that is plugged into the AudioBox USB. Sometimes when I use the 32-bit of OBS, it causes the AudioBox to stop working in the sense that it stops listening to the audio coming in and also stops windows from hearing audio from the box. Further more, sometimes OBS causes my voice to lag or sound delayed in teamspeak. It gets worse, when trying to record .MP4 videos from OBS, my interface audios cuts off and on and I lag in teamspeak where my friends say they can't hear me that well. I tried the 64-bit version and things seemed fine, but I really want to know why this is happening in 32-bit and it just now started doing this. I also keep getting a "hook conflict" which I don't understand either.

Here is the analyzer link too.

Looks like you're overloading your USB root controllers. You probably need to juggle around USB ports between your interface and two webcams.

And saving directly to mp4 is not recommended for a plethora of reasons including the fact that if the encoding process gets shut down in a non-graceful way, there is a VERY high chance of the mp4 file being corrupted and rendered completely useless.

Well that's all very nice to know, that doesn't exactly fix my current issue which is related to the microphone.

Except that you're dealing with a usb interface for the microphone are you not?

Webcam overloads your usb controller and knocks your interface out and you're saying it's not related?

But their plugged into two completely different USB ports. One is in a hub and the Microphone is in the back of the computer.

EDIT: I've moved my second webcam from one port to another port and still having issues with the USB microphone cutting off or sounding like it's skipping.

Are you able to try without the webcams for a bit?

I think it's worth noting that my webcams caused my system to BSOD just now. I am going to uninstall the drivers and start over on them.

EDIT: According to the software WhoCrashed, it was the webcam drivers that had gotten corrupted. I simply reinstalled it and everything seems to be working normally again. Time will tell.
