I recently acquired a Macbook Pro Retina and have been wanting to use it as a streaming machine. The capture card I'm using is the Avermedia Extremecap U3. The problem I'm having is that it doesn't detect the capture card as a capture device (I know it does in Windows). I tried to just go full screen in ReCentral and do screen capture, but I notice the sound starts clipping when my Macbook is running both ReCentral and OBS at the same time. Are they working on improving capture card support? I mean a lot of people are probably wanting to use Macs as dedicated stream PCs, and it's very hard with no capture card support :P
My next question is that the Extremecap U3 doesn't have any audio input or output, meaning the only way I can get sound from my game on my stream, is to output my audio through the HDMI cable, and then connect my headset to my Macbook. This doesn't work very well because the audio is delayed, making playing games very annoying, plus the audio clipping I talked about above. I was wondering if there was a way I could output sound to my HMDI cable, but at the same time get sound on my PC (preferably USB audio because I have a Fiio e17 Alpen DAC.) Please I could use some suggestions, whether it's buying some sort of cable or splitter, or maybe a program I could use on my PC to use 2 audio output devices at the same time.
If I can get these kinks worked out, my Macbook Pro will be a beast stream machine :)
