I've just started experiencing serious lag while recording/streaming, and the audio has been crackling. The stream will also sometimes crash on startup because of some audio warning, I haven't been able to recreate the crash yet but when I do I'll update my post with the info. OS windows 7 64. These problems just started after I've used the software for a while without incident, I haven't changed any of my settings.

While checking my code I think I found the error for audio: Error: Cannot initialize desktop audio sound/Error: Could not initialize audio client, more info in the log file. 08:09:13:/08:09:50:
also the number of frames lagged goes up with each stream.
I also disabled aero, and yet I'm still experiencing major lag.

I've heard of rare occasions where some devices crackle. You are not the only one to have had this happen. The error that you got probably has something to do with the system more than with OBS itself, some sort of instability or issue on the system somewhere.

In other words, Jim is right on the money -- something is up with that installation of yours.

the forum that you have in your reply seems to suggest that the audio crashes when the cpu reaches a certain percentage use, and I have noticed audio problems when not using obs. The sound will sometimes come out of the laptop speakers, so I guess I hate dell....
