Question / Help LGP Lite super bad quality

Darker · Jan 8, 2015

I have a 2PC setup.

Main PC duplicates it's monitor to the capture card through an active DP->HDMI converter. I have the capture card set to capture in 1920x1080 and OBS is also set to 1920x1080 but the quality is horse shit: http://i.imgur.com/fIQLd08.png

If I do a local recording with OBS on the streaming PC, the screen will be crystal clear 1920x1080, so it's not OBS fault.

Also, I send the microphone's sound to the capture card through HDMI aswell and the sound quality is SHIT, it sounds like I just got into puberty when I talk.

Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Can't tell anything from a screenshot. Post a log file.

I'm 100% sure that OBS is not the cause, since the video quality is just as bad if I record with Avermedia's own program.

Could be a hardware misconfiguration which may show up in the logs.

Ok, will try to post log tomorrow. Can't today.

Looks like you configured the capture card to output at a very low resolution compared to the input. Open the capture card source properties and make sure the custom resolution is set to match either the input, or the resolution you want to downscale to (e.g. to 1280x720 from a 1920x1080 source).

Weird, now all of a sudden it works good, but the sound quality of my microphone is still super bad.

This is my sound settings and I don't understand why the sound isn't played back to the capture card. Notice when I click "Test" on the AVT GL310 (capture card) the sound works.

Bump :(

Did you set the capture card to "Use device audio"

Yep, in the video I posted above you can hear that the audio works when I press "Test" on the capture card device. Also if I set the capture card to default device it will also work. So the problem is really that my main PC is not sending the sound signal to the capture card, even though I have it set to do so.

Darker · Jan 12, 2015

I don't understand how this is not working. If I use Audio Repeater and outputs the sound from Stereo Mix to the capture card with that program, it works just fine. Except that Audio Repeater has a 5 seconds delay...
