OBS streaming + Non - network and non - device performance scenarioIf it is confirmed that the network and CPU of the streaming device are normal,

it may be related to the audio offset

1. You can try

to adjust the audio synchronization offset and manually correct the audio and video

2. If the previous steps have no effect, try restarting OBS2

Device performance (mainly CPU)When the CPU load is high, the frame rate of audio and video picture capture fluctuatesIt is recommendedto close unused software or replace the device with better performance3

External microphone malfunction

The input delay of the external microphone causes audio - video out - of - sync

1. It is recommended to test whether there is a delay when using this peripheral in other software
