Bug Report No audio from DV Camera over firewire

[donjohnson]

Hi,

I'm not able to get audio via firewire from a camcorder. Video works fine, and the audio does work in other apps.

Is this an OBS issue or a problem with dshow? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: xsplit works fine, OBS is a better program otherwise, but I guess xsplit will do for now.

Ah, interleaved. I knew someone would show up with an interleaved device eventually at some point. I haven't put in the code for it yet, and probably won't be able to for quite some time sadly

Wouldn't it be possible to use the "headset" audio output to record audio independently? I managed to do this once. With a 1/8'' audio wire on both side, you link what is supposed to be out from your headset (or, actually, it could be from the red & white RCA output) to the "line in" of your soundcard. Worked great, just had to manually adjust the volume in the camera (and sound quality should obviously not be a priority with this solution).

Hi Jim. first of all. thank you for this great product. I am also suffering from this issue and its making me mad. have already gone through to a "lot" of users solutions out there. but nothing works. i can output sound from my desktop but not from my camera. is there any workaround? interleaved is not an issue. does this problem occur with progressive video format?
will try it once again. but right now? streaming technology is bleeding my brain :-)

Hi !

Same probleme here with my DV.
Sony DCR-HC62E
Firewire connected.
OBS can handle it but OBS studio doesn't want to.
It's recognized as "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR " but doesn't work.

Any idea ?
