Plenty of Stuttering

Have you tried unplugging it? Give it 30 seconds or so, plug it back in. What monitor is it, I'll look it up.
I guess I should have mentioned i'm on a laptop.

OK, you may be stuck with 6-bit, at least the refresh rate is correct now.

After you get the plugin updates finished, run another test.

No rendering lag again, but some audio lag. Still stuttering? Forget 12-bit/HDR, that only adds more load...

18:03:39.278: adding 106 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 106 milliseconds (source: Mic/Aux)

I need a full log. Open OBS & record, when finished close/re-open OBS & post the previous log.

that's weird I only have 1 scene and 1 source up and mic/aux isn't one of them let me get you your log

I'll look at that now.

Some notes from the last log:

18:03:31.908: Game Bar: On
18:03:31.908: Game DVR: On

Do you ever encode or use the iGPU? If it's not being used, better to disable it in BIOS.

I would disable hardware decoding on this Media Source file.

Game bar and DVR should be disabled I did everything I needed to to turn that off. I don't know what i'm doing wrong there and I will look into the other stuff you mentioned

Timings look good. I think your system is thrashing. Can you write to another drive & not use the OS drive?

I hate to say it but I don't know what you mean, same with disabling iGPU in bios, if you could give me a quick rundown i could figure it out

are you talking about like sending the recordings to a thumb drive or external hard drive?

Really need the owners or BIOS manual for your specific mobo. That can be found on the manufacturer's support site.

An internal SSD would be preferred. How full is your C drive? They slow down as they fill up. I suspect the drive that's in there is a low voltage variety lacking DRAM & not very robust.

See if things improve. If my math is right, that drive has only 28% available ATM. I would avoid letting it get below 25% available & I would not write to it.

Has there been any improvement? Not much left in OBS

Lose 1 of the mics & try a Window Capture/eliminate the Elgato for testing. On the audio side, I use either Global or Source but never both together.

I haven't tried that new driver, wonder if it could be an issue or if there could be a conflict with the old driver??? Come back to this if needed.

Window capture was smooth as butter literally no issues I don't get it

Edit: I think its a capture card issue

Edit2: I used the one plug to charge my phone like a week ago....
