Premiere adding random audio pops that aren't in OBS source audio (v23.5 and v23.6)

This problem has been bugging me for years. And I never find a complete solution. Other than try to "Clear All Media Cache" in preference window, sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't.

I think the problem has something to do with how Premiere Pro interpret the source audio.

Machine: MacBook Pro M1 Max

Source File recorded by OBS.

You should advocate for slowing down the release cycle, because it's clearly too much work and it basically means we NEVER have a fully working version of the apps we use for work. 

I'm getting this on v24 as well. For me the audio is a random 8th of a second (or less) of one of the other audio clips in the project. I've tried moving everything to a new timeline and to a new project, but it keeps happening at random. 

Yet again, I'm spending more time fixing the bugs that prevent me from working than I am actually doing the work. It's just pathetic from Adobe. 

Just a puzzlement to me. Huh.

hi @R Neil Haugen ! I'm going to guess that you're asking me (as the most recent reply)

My audio is usually attached to the video as a single MP4 file

I am on Windows 10 Pro running OBS version 30.0.2

My OBS settings are as follows! 

I used to record straight to MP4, and tried changing it to record MKV and then remuxing it to MP4 (people gave this method as a solution on other threads) but that had no effect on removing the glitching in Premiere Pro for me. I've also tried lower and higher bitrates but it also seems to have no effect. My editor friend has also worked with one of my video files before in PP and the resulting video ended up having similar glitches to what I usually experience (like how OP said, "If the pop isn't addressed, it ends up in the export as if Premiere has baked it into the render preview files during the editing!!"). I've tried it with multiple video files so I know it's not any particular file that has issues.

If there's anything that sticks out to you, I would super appreciate any help with the matter!! 

What are your settings in OBS for the audio? Are they attached to a video or separate files?

This has been happening to me too and it's driving me nuts. No issue whatsoever with my OBS recordings when played through other programs, changed all my recording settings to match the project settings and it still glitches the audio sporadically. I thought maybe lowering the gain in my recording itself (thought it might be peaking?) might prevent this from happening but it has zero effect. The parts that glitch are never peaking and, for lack of a better term, completely random. I usually work with completely fresh projects too so it's not a cache issue with old files or whatnot.

Would love a solution if anyone has one :')

I was able to resolve this issue on my side! That said, I'm not sure if others will be able to replicate. 

It turns out my company and I were using old templates at the beginning of every project, and those template Pr files had preloaded templatized sequences and folder structures etc. After months of scouring for solutions online, I realized that these old templates might house the issue, so I created new project templates for my team from scratch... and voila we haven't had any more issues. 

having the exact same issue. its really frustrating, would love a solution

I'm having the same issue. Audio is fine in any other machine except this particular one. Audio sounds fine when exported but not within Premiere. Have tried just about anything including re-installing Premiere... Any advice?
