Question / Help No Sound (Elgato Game Card)

[JoeyJiggles]

hey guys,

So I followed the setup guide and everything works great... minus that I have to use the Window Capture because the game card capture will not work since I like to record with Elgato.

Anyway, everyone says the video is there but they only here ME talking through my mic NOTHING of the game! Please help!

Can you post your log? (Here's how)

Window capture with Elgato? Why? You know you can just add it as a video capture device right?

Because then all options go away for recording through my Elgato and if I use the twitch interface within Elgato the quality is awful.

Just add the Elgato as a video capture device to OBS.

i was under the impression that when setting the capture card as the source, it allows the audio to be captured as well.or am i wrong? Either way, you came here for advice, try it as directed and if after this thread your issue isnt solved, you can always go back the way it was. If not then i dont know what to tell you.

Guys, add the Elgato Game Capture via video capture source.

When I set it to video capture card it says the program is already in use and I can not open my Elgato. I would have to close it, which then would not allow me to record my gameplay in Elgato. I want to record and use the functionality of Elgato as well as streatm through OBS.

Now, I found out that when I mute Elgato using WINDOW capture no sound comes out.. when I unmute it sound does come out but it sounds like it is coming from mars. I don't know how to capture clean sound.

Hopefully we can find a solutions!

I don't know how to capture clean sound.

You do know how to, close the Elgato software, use the video capture source and just troubleshoot one thing at a time. you are trying to do to much IMO. I dont think I can help you, sry.

It its not possible to use the Elgato Game Capture device with 2 pieces of software.

You need to close OBS, or the Game Capture software.

If you want to record your streams, in the OBS broadcast settings, check the box that says "Record to file" or something like that.

Hope this helps

Let me know how it goes.
