I am using a shuresm7b attached to a cloudlifter attached to a focusrite solo audio interface. I will also post a pic of my specs below just incase that information is important.
About a month ago my input audio would suddenly come to a full mute, after a couple of hours I had randomly fixed it. I started streaming again and then took a break around 5 or 6 days ago because I was sick. When I started streaming again my mic suddenly started to act up again. I streamed for about an hour then had to end. I have absolutely tried almost everything. I don't even know where to begin with all the things I have tried. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling my drivers. Resetting my computer multiple times. Changed sample rates, bitrates, checked playback, communication, checked malwarbytes, checked every single one of my audio devices, made sure it was not bluetooth messing with my audio, have done service host checks, deactivated certain startup programs to make sure it wasn't using too much power and shutting off that way, I have reset my audio multiple times as well in services.msc. I have also made sure it isn't something small like my audio is being muted by something else. I have done everything I have seen in the last two days of trying to fix this. The sound will last from some time between a few seconds up to an hour. If I exit out of OBS it will work again. One way I figured it was OBS was this site I used https://mictests.com/ I will use that site and OBS at the same time and then when my audio messes up on OBS I check the mic test site and it says 'The audio track is paused' my mic will continue to not work unless I close OBS. There is a bunch of other stuff I have tried such as using multiple virus protection services to make sure it is not a virus affecting it. I will post a link of my logs when my audio seem to mess up just for clarity, I cannot tell if it is something in my log but it seems fine to me.
TLDR; Audio input suddenly stops working even though everything points to it working fine.
I hope someone can help me because I am at a complete loss. I don't want to have to factory reset my computer or use a restore point but at this point I am getting desperate. Thank you for your time reading this. I am sorry if it is confusing.
