During two live streams with the same setup, three months apart, I experienced the same issue with choppy audio. We paused the stream and restarted the setup two to three times, but the problem persisted. Over the past few months, we ran several tests, including Windows updates, firewall on and off, and none of the tests showed any issues. However, when going live in public mode (youtube), the problem occurred from the very first minute.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
