Question / Help OBS Studio | Audio cutting out

[ItsTooth]

Hi I'm new to these forums but I've been using OBS for just over a year now but I hadn't encountered this issue until today. When I try to record the audio cuts out every few seconds. I haven't changed any settings before this change occurred so I'm very confused lol. This happens for both desktop audio and my mic so I'm pretty sure it's a software issue.

OS: Windows 10
OBS Studio Version: 24.0.3 64-bit
Mic: Blue Snowball iCE
PC Specs: In the log

So far I've tried:

• Checking drivers
• Making sure OBS is updated
• Making sure Windows 10 is updated
• Recording audio in Audacity to see if it cuts there (it doesn't)
• Disabling all other Playback and Recording devices on Windows
• Unplugging microphone
• Restarted PC
• Changed encoding format

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

bump?

There's pretty much nothing in the log that indicates a problem, and most audio issues are upstream of OBS.

Only red flag I see is this:

20:55:02.527: WASAPI: Device 'Headset Earphone (HyperX Virtual Surround Sound)' initialized

As having problems with virtual surround setups is common, and I usually advise either turning off those features or using a vanilla stereo headset.
