Help - Avermedia Livegamer Duo separate mic input?

[Timmarsh12]

Hello lovely people

Just picked up an Avermedia Livegamer Duo PCIE capture card, which seems to all be working correctly. Drivers all installed, video inputs and outputs working great. Windows also displays an audio output, "Digital Audio (S/PDIF)."


My question - Does this device have the ability to input audio as a mic source, for example under "Audio Input Capture" in OBS, or "Microphone" in Zoom? I'm only seeing an audio track appearing in OBS when adding the capture card as a "Video Capture Device."


It seems strange that this device wouldn't have the firmware capability to act as a microphone input in windows. I've used an Elgato Camlink 4k, Camlink Pro, and Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro, which all create both a video and audio input source in Windows - that can be used as both camera and microphone sources in video calling softwares such as Zoom and Messenger.

Anyone had the same experience with this capture card? I don't think it's a PCIE limitation? Am I missing a driver? I'd love to be able to use audio over HDMI in Zoom calls.

System: Ryzen 3800x, 32gb ram, 1050ti 4gb, Windows 10 Home.

Hello Timmarsh,

did you solve your problematic because I recently got the live gamer duo, and I'm experiencing the exact same issue.

I can't find any audio microphone, which means I can't set up separate audio input in voicemeeter.

I contacted avermedia support but no news from them yet.

For those interested, I found a solution :
- it is not possible to input Avermedia Livegamer Duo Audio as an Audio input Capture. The audio is integrated with the Video.
This has been confirmed by Avermedia Support.

The only way to achieve this is by using Magewell Pro Dual HDMI Capture Card.
Magewell capture cards have embedded audio which means you can do whatever you want with Audio and Video.
I personally reroute both audio input to various Outputs using Voicemeeter, but you can use any software you prefer.
Magewell capture cards create audio input device and video input device in Windows Device Manager.
