Ticking sound in my headphones when I streaming

[imTEBster]

I am new to streaming and have been trying to find a solution online for hours and hours.

The ticking happens when I start streaming, when i record, or when I start replay buffer. I have done everything I can think of, It is not feedback coming through the headset all of my monitor stuff is off. I have sync the kHz with my headphones on the computer advance settings and within OBS. I have a changed my bitrate for my audio in the output section of the settings in OBS. I have also changed the replay buffer memory.

I am at a loss here and could really use your guys help with this. I will attach a log file so you guys can help maybe even more. If you have any suggestions or want me to double try something again please let me know. Also willing to hop in a discord call if you wanna help me try and fix this.

Thanks

Bad audio routing isn't your only issue. Lots of rendering lag/GPU overload. Load reduction is in order.

My advice, don't use Global & Source audio concurrently. Use one or the other & fix your sample rate.

Going through the log, Desktop Audio was changed to 48k & then it started lagging out big time. Audio lag can be caused by overload. Might want to try output 1 or check your mobo's support page for an audio driver update. Also, your Network Adapter looks like it could use a driver update too, might as well check while you're there, EEE errors.

Think I would disable audio monitoring too, at least until the issue is resolved. Personally, I do not monitor audio from OBS in real time, it's the end of the line.
