In the middle of stream, audio from computer and mic cuts out

[ThirdGenGamer]

Hello,

I have the latest version of OBS Studio, and I have been having an issue where somewhere in the middle of the stream, my mic cuts out with my game audio, and then there is a buzzing sound as soon as it cuts off. I have to close OBS and restart stream and then it returns to normal. I am not sure why this happens, but if someone knows how to fix this issue? I would appreciate it!

My computer has the following Specs:
Ryzen 3950x
X570 Motherboard
64 GB RAM (3600 MHz)
RTX 2070 Super (Latest Game Ready Drivers)

Software I have running in the background while streaming on OBS are:
Game Capture HD
Voicemeeter Banana to split audio tracks
A few Chrome windows opened
Stream Labels from Streamlabs

I do not have a log file, as the software did not error out. However, I was able to clip the moment where this happened to give a better idea of what is going on. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxgnnithL50fUqILdrESEjtKYXJirTrS0w

If there are things I could try, I would appreciate it a lot! Thank you!

You have the log file. what you don't have is a crash log.
Look inside the Help menu (main is in spanish)

Load the log if is still the last one or look for the one when this happened. The name have the date.
If the log is the last one, use the load last log and copy the link to post in here, also you can click on Analize to troubleshoot.
If the log is a previous one, just go to the Analize page and load the correct log copying and paste the link in here.

It could be an issue with Voicemeeter. Check if you have the latest update from them.

I didn't realize crash logs were not the same. The more you know. I included my log files that were created during that stream.

I will also take a look and see if there is a newer version of Voicemeeter. Thanks.

ok, you have to follow a few steps. First go to the analyzer and check what it tells you to improve: https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https://obsproject.com/logs/VWU91HPBVQOGMaQt#logURL
For the sample rate just go for 48khz on everything. You have to do this in sound control panel in windows (don't know the correct name in english).

For the capture interference, just duplicate the scene and set one with the game capture and the other with the display. Not to have 262163 scenes, but just make sure there's no issues there.
Try to disable nVidia noise suppresion because many people have troubles with it. Go one by one of the filters you added and delete it. If that don't work I think you have to uninstall it.

To reduce the impact over the CPU and GPU of the videos you are using (mov and mp4) consider transcoding them into webm format. There are many tutorials online on how to achieve this using ffmpeg. But if you don't have issues with this, just let them as is.

Remember, the more complex and more thing you add into OBS the worst it becomes. Keep it simple.
Let's see how it goes after followin the analyzer directions.

This is what I got from the analyzer: https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https://obsproject.com/logs/07ZFMA4Ub3Dyovz7

I am thinking the Max Audio Buffering is the issue here. It says potential cause is webcam audio source (which is a Cam Link). I just changed the sample rates to 48000 Hz since that was another issue that could apply to audio.

I did turn off the GPU scheduler as well.
