How can I get the audio input from the Canon EOS Webcam Utility?

[jorgebg]

Hi,

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D as an input device with the Canon EOS Webcam Utility. Everything works fine except for the microphone: I've been unable to get the audio input from the camera. OBS only shows the audio input of the microphone of my laptop.

Do you know how can I record both the video and audio from the camera?

Thanks

My answer is not authoritative... but I think if you read the Canon USB webcam utility instructions, it mentions that it is video only, no audio
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/eos-webcam-utility/ in the FAQ
Q: Can I use the camera’s microphone?
A: No, EOS Webcam Utility software doesn't transmit audio through USB connection.
Please use your computer’s built-in microphone or an external microphone separately connected to your computer.

How to Use Your Canon Camera as a Webcam

Canon launched the EOS Webcam Utility to make it possible to use their cameras as webcams in plenty of popular video conferencing apps.

As such [not an OBS issue], a Canon support forum would likely be a better avenue for specifics on the Canon software.
I believe I've read folks using an external microphone (way better than built-in camera mic anyway), and running that to the computer running OBS
