Question / Help Detecting Audio

[Chasepdunham]

Im using a capture card to capture a game and with the original OBS i was able to choose the "Use device audio" option within the sources device setting, but with the new obs studio it's not that easy and or i just can't seem to find the option to make it work.

Yes i know if the capture card works and yes i do know if there is audio being brought through the card.

is there something i'm missing?

Scroll down in the video capture device properties window.

It says

"Audio outputmode" i have "Capture audio only" selected and still nothing is coming through.

And when i choose "use custom audio device" it only gives me microphone options.

Are you using the new Razer Ripsaw? If so there are confirmed problems with it as far as OBS Studios goes. It can only capture audio if you output to desktop.

No i am using the Avermedia live gamer extreme.

And with "Capture Audio Only" after checking your recordings or the output side of your stream, is there audio or not?

there is nothing.

Does the problem persist when relaying through avermedia's stream engine instead of a direct capture?

Nope sound works fine in both regular obs and REcentral 2, i can hear everything from the captured device, it's just in obs studio it seems like there is an audio option not on or not working.

wait i completely read that wrong and yes i can capture audio from that application but i shouldn't have to it should just work!

Then complain to avermedia about their software and drivers.

It's not an avermedia issue though! it's only with obs studio and if there is problems with other capture cards i can only assume that this might fall under that category.

 

[Harold]

Except it's Avermedia's software that allows OBS to communicate with the card in the first place, and there's no such audio problems with other cards when using the same settings.

Im posting here to add my thoughts as this issue has been present for a while now. I assumed it would have been addressed by now, but OBS studio is still not picking up any audio when set to "Capture audio only"

It is most definitely 100% an issue with OBS because every other piece of software, including the old OBS works fine. Only Studio has this issue.
