Can you describe 'how' the belt is 'breaking'? What pattern? Tearing straight across the ribbing , or is it jagged? Any signs of melted belt remnants on ANY of the pulleys?
Have you put a new one on again? Start it for 1 or 2 minutes (or less if you see it showing signs of problem), then turn it off and inspect ALL pulley contact areas for signs of misalignment. Check very carefully. Restart and let run progressively longer periods of time and vary turning the A/C on and off to change 'load' conditions.
