Audio Skipping

[AlwaysShamo]

I just signed up for this website and I'm excited to start streaming but while I was testing some stuff, my audio was skipping. Apparently it would just stop and eventually start again, trying to catch up with itself. Both game audio and the sound coming through my microphone (my voice) were lagging behind. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Any Hardware (Camera, capture card, etc) and how it's connected
Encoding Software (Procaster, Studio, FMLE, etc)
If using Procaster, version number (open preferences, click "i" in top right-hand corner)

Please provide the results of the speed to New York, NY as opposed to your local server of Denver, CO. Also, could you tell me what quality setting you have selected in Procaster?

Oops, I thought it auto-linked to the New York test...

I'm using a custom quality at 478 Kbps. I've played around with it since I last tried (lowered it) and I think it's working a lot better than it was.
