Hello all,
I've been using obs for about 6 months now (I'm a live audio technician/engineer/guy). I like it..but.. every so often I get shafted with audio problems. Video is fine, but the audio goes all sputtery (meaning you get clicks, bits, .3 seconds of actual audio, back to sputtery, silence, clips, clicks and so on, kind of like if I had a gate on, and set it really high so that only specifically loud bits would get through) for the entire recording or stream. It comes and goes, but when it comes it stays for the entire stream. Restarting seems to solve it, which is a problem during a live stream of a funeral.
I can see in the audio input that I'm getting a nice strong signal (mostly in the yellow, sometimes touching red but by no means clipping), and today I even set up the monitor so I could hear what I thought obs was, and ensuring that the output was NOT muted. When I got home, the first half of the video had audio, but the second bit, when I added an additional audio source ( Behringer) just clipped and clipped and clipped (not clipped as in over gained, but as in the actually noise). Noted, this has happened before I started using the Behringer.
all devices are set at 48khz.
This is the video that was streamed (and also recorded on the pc)

at about -22:01 into the live stream you can get a first hand experience of the audio issue (perfect before tha, then as i switch scenes, BAM!). The recorded audio is exactly the same as this stream. The PC never went above 32% cpu usage, and while the stream did end prematurely (data cap) it was fine for about 20 mins after the audio issue started (steady 2800-3000, no lost frames).
Any insight would be helpful.
