So this only happens when I stream. I will start streaming and after about like 5 minutes or so my sound completely cuts out. Everything on my computer goes silent. I have no clue why this happens and it only happens when I start streaming. I will fix by making another playback device default and then switch back to the normal device and the sound comes back. 5 minutes later the sound goes out again. Anybody know what this problem keeps happening?
 
You did not post a log, please do that (see the sticky in this forum).
Also getting snarky won't get you help faster, if you don't get a reply in a day you can bump the topic if you want.
 
In that log OBS didn't lose the connection to the Mixamp. Is it just OBS that loses all audio or does every other application also have no audio?
 
If all audio cuts out on your pc, it isn't stable when you saturate usb -> chipset->cpu->gpu->ram with all of the things that go on when u stream.
 
Well u have usb audio. I also have usb audio. But they are all powered by a really good chipset and can be self powered if need be. There is good long laundry list for tweaking usb audio, but not gonna sit here and list all that.
In short, disable any powersavings, everywhere, both in bios and OS. Make sure PC is truly stable for individual components, cpu, ram, chipset. Test components individually to rule out that anything else isnt the problem. Realize if you overclock you need headroom for full saturation of system.
Even a stock clock pc can be unstable.
And you're not even running obs in admin mode. Read some guides.
