Weird buzzing sound on the stream side when in Live-Mode

When I'm streaming Sims 4 with OBS on twitch I get a weird buzzing sound in the background when I'm in Live-Mode. When I go into the Building Mode, the buzzing sound is gone. Here is a clip demons...

    Mic-in sadly didn't change anything. It was still the same.

    Turning on Vsync and lowering the Quality a Little bit fixed the Problem for me though. So I'm happy with the Situation now and for me the problem is solved.

    Thanks for all the help 🙂

I've seen it before, it was an issue with a USB from the mic (I think) that wasn't connected correctly. And it wasn't plugged in to a 3.0 USB port. 

So that might be things to check out.

Live mode is off course something that asks a bit more from a system than CAS or build mode. So that might be something you could check out.

Thank you for helping me.

My mic is connected through the Line-In Interface.  So that can't be it I guess.

As well I don't have that issue with any other games. Planet Coaster is pretty demanding as well on the cpu and graphics. I just checked a lot of vods of my stream. That Audio issue only happens, when I'm playing Sims 4. I have no clue what is going on or what might actually create this interference.

    Hmm, it  does sound similar to the USB-headset issues I've seen in the past. I think PL is on the right course here. 

    Can you unplug any USB devices that you can, and record a few test samples? i'd even go so far as recording with your your keyboard and your mouse disconnected, alternatively. 

    If the buzzing persists with all devices disconnected, then at least it discounts peripheral issues. 

    Thanks.

      Thank you very much for answering 🙂

      I did some more Tests:

      I disconnected all usb devices and did another recording. That noise was still there.

      I turned off the mixer, from which the Sound Comes into the Line-In. So there is no Sound Input. Only the natural noise of the Line-In. That noise I described was still there.

      I muted the Line-In in OBS. The noise was gone.

      Could it be that there is some interference on the Motherboard? Could it be the graphics Card creating that weird noise on the Line-in?

      And I still haven't experienced something like this with any other game.

        Ok, did some more testing.

        I turned on vertical sync and that changes the Background noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w63C8S_yfoY

        I also noticed that the 60 fps Setting doesn't cap my fps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBk8gA4EKWg

        The 30 fps Setting, doesn't Change anything about the number in the bottom left Corner as well. What it does though is that my menues and the game itself gets jumpy. Like everything is moving up and down a Pixel really quick and I get a sickness Feeling by watching it. You don't see it on the recording though. It's only on my Monitor (60Hz) when I Play the game.
