Hey, I've been recently getting this weird audio popping noise you see in this clip below. It's really random and happens after hours of streaming. I don't know what causes this, I assumed it was my VoiceMeeter Banana audio software interferring with something or becoming corrupted after long hours of use. This was not the case as I switched to VSTHost for my audio software and it still occurs. Any help would be appreciated to fix this.
I don't hear this noise, only people watching the stream do, or when you go back to the VOD.

Audio becoming unstable after hours is often a problem of audio driver or audio interface. In Voicemeeter it is recommended to connect your best audio device to output A1 (because it gives the main stream). So you might keep default settings and try to select another device or device interface and make the long duration test.

Under Windows, all audio configuration must be validated. It means, after having selected your audio device and launched your different audio app, you need to run audio stream on the required duration to be sure that the configuration is correct. Normally if the sounds is still correct after 48 hours you can consider that your configuration is validated. (on our pro audio solutions, testing is made on 5 days).

I think I fixed this sucker. Are you on 64-bit? Try 32-bit. It seems to be a problem with 64-bit and 160kbps or lower audio quality.

I switched to VSTHost and it doesn't happen until about 12 hours of being live, which isn't a problem for me. Voicemeeter creates this issue from around 3-4 hrs of being live. But thanks for letting me know a solution for future. Hopefully, OBS can address this issue in the future though.
