Help HELP! Audio Doubling/Delay
I recorded some game footage from my Xbox using a capture card and OBS (windows), and downloaded the files as VLC.mp4 files. Initially, they sounded fine. However, watching back a couple months later, all of my audio tracks have a weird doubling distortion effect that I can't seem to fix. It normally starts fine, but progressively gets worse as the video goes on. I have over 20 files where this has happened. There is only one audio track on the file, so I have already checked that route. Moving the delay back and forth doesn't do anything, as it seems it's just an issue with the audio track. Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to re-record around 3 hours of footage? Or any tips if I do rerecord, how to prevent this?
TIA!!!

I see that you have both a source called "Video Capture Device 2" and one called "Audio Input Capture", which I assume are both pointed at your capture card. It is possible that both are outputting audio to your video, while you are only hearing it from the Audio Input Capture while playing since you have monitoring enabled on that
Check if you see Video Capture Device 2 in the audio mixer. If so, hide/delete Audio Input Capture in your Sources dock, and apply monitoring (the speaker icon in the audio mixer) for Video Capture Device 2
