So in games were you hold W to run, if the last window you clicked on your desktop was OBS its basically the "focused" window and now when alt tabbing back into game if i use my mic you can hear the key repeat through the mic basically crackling and popping at the exact timing that the key repeat rate from holding a button takes place.

Only happens with usb mics. Never had the issue before with a headset mic plugged directly into motherboard. Now that i have a AT2035 mic going into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd gen usb audio interface. I can hear cracks and pops in my mic at the exact rate of basic keyboard repeat rates from holding a button, but only if obs was the last clicked or aka "focused" window, and only while holding down a key on the keyboard.

EDIT: only happens when using a Push to talk button as well, so if i click obs window, then hold my ptt which is my mouse button 5 side button, then hold a keyboard button like to run in a game, i get cracks and pops as the key repeat rate of the keyboard comes through mic as static pops. But if i go back to desktop, click off the obs window to any other window or just the black background of my desktop, this issue does not occur.
