Audacity skips while recording Pc#

I've probably tried a few more things, it's been going on for months and I'm just wanting to fix it now, any support or suggestions would be super helpful, thank you! Changed my USB settings in the power plan not to fall asleep while in use. Turn off View > Show Clipping while recording. Reduced the volume to make sure it wasn't a side effect of potential peaking. Minimize the Audacity window whenever you have no need to see it. You may not hear skips while listening during the recording, but you will hear them on playback.

Audacity skips while recording Pc#

Restarted my PC and reinstalled Windows and the Microphone previously. If it sounds like recording is skipping, or small fragments are sometimes missing, this means that Audacity cannot write the audio to disk fast enough to keep up with what it is recording. Tried recording in Audacity (the problem doesn't appear). Made sure everything was set to the same Hz in terms of audio settings across Windows and OBS. Tried with my webcam and without (same result, Logitech C920). Reduced the number of devices on my USB ports to free up resources. Tried turning up the Process Priority to High I’ve followed most of the instructions on the troubleshooting page but it’s still skipping enough to interfere with my recording.

Also listed below are things I've tried to fix it with: I've asked around everywhere and no one seems to have shed any light on it, so here I am asking. I'm looking to perhaps finally shed some light on this ongoing problem for me for a number of months now with my microphone and OBS studio, I keep getting this reoccurring problem with my microphone skipping a fraction of a second regularly, I have provided an example in a Twitch clip below.
