Question / Help video and audio lagging HELP ASAP PLEASE

Hello
and please post a logfile
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/
Please try to include a recording/streaming session when you experience problems while streaming or recording,
as OBS only writes important performance data during recording or streaming sessions.
If you have solved your problem yourself, please let the others know how you did it If someone else has the same problem,
he will find your post, read it through, is no step closer to solving it, and has wasted some time.

here’s the log https://obsproject.com/logs/51no0ObSp1avLI9v i don’t know how to add a video file for proof i’m new here
ohh thanks and yes that the log file from the stream we did and it was laggy so it is new

That log file doesn't have any stream or recording session in there -- make sure you find the correct one. It will have lines near the end that show stream start and stream end, as well as a report of how many frames were lost due to rendering and encoding lag, as well as dropped frames.
i’m pretty this one is the one from our last stream

When you say your "live stream audio and video is acting laggy", what exactly do you mean by this?
From what the logs are saying, your CPU is miraculously being able to keep up mostly with the x264 and QSV encoding for recording and stream at 1080p30, but I'm wondering if you're pushing it all the way to 100% in the process, which could cause things like robot-voice for certain voice-chats (discord I know can definitely be affected, among other things).
What is your CPU usage during record-only? I don't know how much of an actual strain the QSV encoding is going to put on the CPU, but the x264 recording is definitely going to be the heaviest hitting load on there. There's also this sequence of events:
All of those buffering and audio issues happened directly following starting recording.

the robot sound is in obs specifically

Do you have the Asio plugin for OBS?
Also, what sample rate is your focusrite? It looks like everything else is set to 44,100hz... if your focusrite is at 48,000hz, that may be what's causing issues.

no and i did lower the it 44,100hz no difference
