Video Capture Device Audio Stops Recording, Needs to be reset constantly

[gurt]

I use a LiveGamerMini to capture sets at local tournaments i go to, but the past two times I've done them, I've checked audio levels and seen that they were functioning only for them to not be once i start recording and leave the setup later. setting the audio profile to something else, then back to the LiveGamerMini's audio fixes this, but is there any way to prevent this from happening in the first place? really annoying quirk and I don't know if it's an OBS problem or an Avermedia problem.
