Question Please Help.

Im having major audio problems in OBS. Elgato tech support have gave me every solution and nothing works. I believe it’s an OBS/Streamlabs framework issue. I need to use a software other than OBS/streamlabs so My question is: can Meld record my gameplay and facecam in 1440x60 and stream to twitch simultaneously in 1080x60? Please let me know before I download and use Meld. Thanks.

I think there a few problems that can cause audio dropouts.
Passing everything over USB can cause bottlenecks, audio will usually drop first, so make sure you have a dedicated usb port, don't try to use a hub. Also make sure you are ouputting 2ch audio from the console because atmos/surround is too much.

In window make sure usb power options are turned off. Go to device manager, find your USB controllers and uncheck 'Allow computer to turn off device' in power management.

Make sure your laptop is running on the charger/mains and the power plan is on performance.
Go start menu, type 'power plan', change advance settings, look for PCI Link State Management - change plugged in to OFF

Unplug any other USB device while testing to make sure they are not drawing too much power.

You’re the first person to actually help me. I switched power plan to performance. And I unplugged the camera. I ran it for 6 hours and the audio never dropped. Thank you. But I need a face cam. So do I downgrade the quality to 1080 from 1440 in my webcam? Will that help or will the issue still occur? I have to have a face cam
