Whenever I try to stream a game,the audio seems to be working fine,but the stream is black. I've tried running in windowed and lowering fps and all that jazz. But it's still black.

use at least 1000 and then progress from there that should be plenty of bitrate to stream in the quality that you have set right now if that still gives you a black screen then come back and let us know.

If you still have a black screen try making sure that you have directx updated to the latest version, make sure you've run windows update, make sure that you've updated your video drivers and such as well

If that speed test result is accurate (which it usually isn't, which is why I asked you to run the test on http://testmy.net) then you should probably be able to support 3000/3000 bit rate.
