Bug Report OBS Studio causing audio clicks in Audacity

I've labelled this a bug but if it's thought to be anything else, mods do please correct me.

Went recording my YouTube videos I use FRAPS to record the gameplay, OBS to capture my webcam, and Audacity to get my mic input. The other day I got an update for OBS Studio, so I went ahead and installed it. Since then when using OBS Studio (and I've tried both 32 and 64 bit versions) I seem to get clicks through any recording I make in Audacity. With or without FRAPS, as long as OBS Studio isn't running there aren't any problems with the Audacity recording. Same goes if I use OBS Classic instead - though this isn't preferred back the video format that's outputted then needs to be converted to one I can use in my editor.

Wondering if A) Anyone else has had this? B) Are there any solutions to it as it currently is? C) Is this something that'll hopefully get patched?

Thank you. I will check out my latency, though I would kind of be surprised if that were the issue seeing as I'd been running the set up with no such issues until this past weekend.

I've not yet had a great deal of time to try it out, but I did attempt to record all of my audio and video via OBS Studio over the weekend and I just couldn't get the video quality to stop being pixelated. Also despite when importing into the edit the file coming up with two separate audio files, both were of the game audio and my mic input mixed, whereas I like to have them separate to give me more control while editing.

UPDATE: It is definitely a latency issue. And it seems to be my webcam. I'll apologise - I completely overlooked the fact over the weekend I also got a new webcam. Now my problem is that my PC has both USB 2 and 3 ports but no matter which I plug the webcam into the latency jumps back up when I do. But I understand that this isn't OSB related so...
