I solved the problem.

I actually didn't have a headset/speaker connected to my audio output.

so the audio output is "inactive".

4KCaptureutility absolutely needs an active audio output otherwise you will get the same error message.

Please note that during its use, if you disconnect your audio device, you will lose the display and get the error message back.
