Question / Help Zoom h4n glitchy audio input capture it's noisy/glitchy

[theBullringLive]

Trying to get this to work. If I simply use it as mic/Aux2, vu meters show sound but nothing is coming out. When I set it up as audio input capture sound comes out but is noisy and glitchy. Zoom is going straight into MacBook usb (no hub) sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqvgpqFCPSU log file: https://hastebin.com/amegomudah

What sample rate do you have the Zoom set to? I also notice a huge number of notices for excessive audio buffering. Do you have an audio input you can plug this into instead of USB?

Right now I have one of those y connectors that go into the std macbook headphone jack but it just takes mono input. I have one on order that takes stereo.

Zoom is set at 44. OBS is set to 160. Not really up to speed on the whole buffering thing yet.

44.1 is a sample rate. 160 is a bitrate. Not the same thing. Doublecheck that OBS is also using 44.1 khz in Settings > Audio, just to be sure.

What I mean by buffering is that OBS is having trouble getting a constant signal from your microphone, and is buffering audio in response. It continues to do so until it reaches the maximum allowable amount of buffer, and then stops-- even if the problem persists.

I did 2 things. I cleared all my scenes, profiles, sources and started fresh- I was having some other issues as well. Set the Zoom to 48hz and obs to 48 and all is well. And its going into usb
Thanks for the explanations!
