Static when recording through OBS

I'm so frustrated because I can not record without static. It is ONLY when I talk! It's not a mic issue because QuickTime Player via the same mic works fine - zero static. I need OBS to work because of the scenes I need displayed so I've got to figure this out. Here is my log: https://obsproject.com/logs/CRiFvNKyKE2USatH
I have tried adding filters, changing my sample rate and ever other suggested fix that is out there. I've tried using my headset with mic also to see if that helps - nothing!!

The first thing I'd do is remove all of the filters, because that's just adding extra possible things that can go wrong. When you say "static", do you mean random periodic popping, or is it more like the sound is distorted?

@suzyblue24, did you get this solved?

I have a similar problem. Static (snap/crackle/pop) when I speak. Nothing in the pauses between speaking.

The frustrating thing is that I have successfully recorded many videos with the same setup and no static. I don't know what (if anything) changed. I've tried using the internal Mac mic and get the same results.

No OBS filters in place.

My set-up: Yeti Blue microphone into a CalDigit USB dock. The Cal Digit connected to my MacBook Pro. A Fuji XT-4 is connected to a Cam Link 4 that is also plugged into the CalDigit.

I have the same problem recording in OBS. I use a Rode NT1 microphone. This seems to have just started… It is so annoying because I can’t figure out why. It only occurs as I say something in the microphone…no static when not talking…
I”m using a MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.2 update. Version 29 for the OBS. First recording (after booting up) is clear…static increases with each recording until next reboot.
