As getting my message read in chat is near impossible. I thought this would be the next best place to bring up my point of view.
I had the same issue of audio randomly cutting out for short periods of time. It turned out to be a setting issue in recording devices and having 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device' checked under the advanced settings of my Yeti.
Might be related or not just thought I'd share my 2 cents.
