Question / Help Recording Only Lags When Audio Plays... HELP

I am recording my Fortnite Replay Mode gameplay with OBS. Replay mode is not live gameplay, it is the footage of a game already played which Fortnite saves. To get that footage, I am re-recording it.

I have done this since about October and haven't had any lag in my recordings. Now, my recordings are extremely laggy, especially when audio plays. I tested this by not having any audio play and the footage wasn't lagging. When I let the audio play, mostly loud gunshots, it lags severely. As soon as audio plays, the quality takes a massive dip, and never really gets back to where it should be. I have tried lowering settings, and it still isn't changing much of anything. I don't know if I changed an audio setting or what, but this shouldn't be happening, especially because I have a decent PC... I have an FPS counter in the corner showing how my PC is capable of displaying this footage, and I don't understand how my PC can't even record it in good quality ANYMORE...

I have an i5-8600k and a GTX 1060 6GB with 16GB of RAM. Everything is amply cooled.

I have no idea why this is happening. It never happened before, and now it sometimes lags even when audio ISN'T playing.

I tried to revert my settings but even if I remove OBS and fully delete it then redownload it, it doesn't revert my settings to the default, it somehow saves them.

Please help me!

Can someone approve of this thread please? I really need to start recording. I have spent 4 hours trying to fix it and it isn't working. I have no idea why my OBS would suddenly start to lag during audio now though I am getting 200-300 FPS while playing, and the footage I am recording isn't even live gameplay...
