Does your mic require phantom power? If it does whatever you use to power it might be broken and it’s not getting enough juice. Definitely sounds like the issue is not on your computer but rather your mixer or possibly your mic. If you can, see if it happens with another xlr mic.
it's a MXL V67G! looks like it does use phantom power... might try another USB port. sadly i've only got one XLR mic and one XLR cable, both of which are survivors of an apartment fire... maybe they got heat-damaged? lol

The cable is always the weakest link so I’d probably replace that first and then see about trying other mics etc. If you can borrow an xlr mic for testing to see if it’s the mic or the mixer. Somebody down here suggested faulty drivers, which is possible and also easy to find out

weird thing - i just tried plugging the whole thing (USB interface + mic) into my laptop and recorded for 10 minutes with no weird audio drops! Now fully I'm convinced it's a software issue on my desktop, not a hardware issue with the mic/cable/mixer
