Rtkit-daemon makes obs sound bad

I use obs for recording my courses so I can rewatch them :
Everithing worked fine for the first couple of times until one day when trying to watch the recording I the audio is absolutely horrible starting from a random point in the video
This has now continued until Saturday when I started watching the video finding the problem again . Since I have the date and time down to seconds in my bar I started looking for logs and I found that at the exact second the audio becomes horrible there is a combination of these two logs(2-3 of each) with different thread numbers in journalctl:

rtkit-daemon[719]: Successfully made thread 52554 of process 747 owned by '1000' RT at priority 5

Supervising 4 threads of 1 processes of 1 users.

Since this time I didn't close obs before trying to solve the problem I can confirm that the process "747" in this case is obs but looking at older videos and matching the logs the same exact thing happened
I really don't know what rtkit-deamon is or how I've upset it I just want to listen to my courses
I thought that this belongs here and not on obs forums since rtkit daemon seems to be the one causing the problem

TLDR: Randomly during obs recordings the audio becomes horrible and the above logs appear in journalctl
