Slow Descent Into Lagged Audio

[SamSamSoaker]

Hello!

So I have recently started using my Nvidia card again (on a brand new computer). Previous computer had Nvidia card disabled while I used x264.

I wanted to try the NVEC on OBS and the video for streaming indeed looks so much nicer. HOWEVER, there is an issue...
The longer I stream, the more my audio starts to lag. It'll go from working just fine to being about 15 seconds off, two hours later. I can fix it by closing OBS usually and then reconnecting everything but until someone lets me know I'm lagging, I have no clue.

:( Is it Nvec not playing nicely with OBS?
I use an external mic from my camera and have never had audio lag issues back on x264. Something about Nvidia or Nvec?

What do? I love how the video looks now but... Can't deal with audio lag.

Have you streamed from your brand new computer before? Does it only lag when you're using the Nvidia card?

Also just a tip: for troubleshooting this stuff, you can try recording a video to your own computer instead of live-streaming it, and then watching it back to see the desync for yourself and figure out if any settings changes help. Just click Start Recording instead of Start Streaming. That way you won't need to wait for someone else to let you know that it's lagging.

I've streamed with the same settings for at least 2 years without issue but Nvidia being enabled had caused issues on my previous computer and may be causing the same issue with a brand new computer.

I just don't know if OBS isn't playing well with Nvidia (or vis versa) or windows 10 or the site... xD So many factorssss. I'll try recording though and see how long it takes. :)
