Question / Help Progressive Audio Desync. Unknown cause.

I've been trying to setup OBS to record videos for weeks now. On recurring problem I haven't been able to fix is the audio desync.

I have used the audio offset feature in the advanced audio properties. I have even used other applications to measure the delay and set the precise amount of millisecond offset.
However, this never lasts. After a couple of videos, it desyncs again, to completely different values.

Last night was the perfect example. I had managed a perfect sync a couple of days ago and hadnt used OBS in a while. I turned off my MAC, PS4, and let them rest for a couple of hours before starting recording.

I recorded 7 20-30min videos. During the last recording, I started experiencing severe frame drops in my recording feed. I decided to stop recording after that.

This morning, I restarted my MAC and recorded 5 more videos with no visible issues at the time.

When reviewing the 12 videos I noticed that the first 6 videos from yesterday were perfectly synced. However, the 7th video was desynced from the beginning and on top of that, all of the following videos were desynced as well.

UPDATE: I made a more thorough review of the videos, they do seem to be desyncing progressively.

(It seems that the only sources that desync are the Blue Snowball Mic's audio from the Logitech C922 Pro Camera video. I don't know which one is the one that is causing the problem.)

My setup is as follows:

Computer:
Mac Pro (late 2013)
OSX 10.13.5
3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
12GB 1866MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D300 2048MB
