No sound when recording.

Hello folks!

For sometime, I have no sound recording. Litterally. It is bad.

Here the steps for redo:

1. Open OBS
2. Start Recording anything.

Here's a log:

I'm pretty sure that the sound problem can be resolved.

Thanks in advance.

PS: sometimes Windows dosen't recognise the sound card while he still pluged .

Fix that first, then see if you still have a problem in OBS. You might have to buy a USB sound card and use that. I like the Behringer UCA202 as a general-purpose, true stereo line input.

If you just pick up something random, it'll probably have a mono mic input, and the 3rd connection in that jack is for power *out* to feed the mic...or maybe that *is* what you want? Just don't put a non-mic source into it; they probably won't like each other!

If you do have the same problem with a known-good sound card, a screenshot of your settings would be helpful. Several screenshots if you can't get them all into one. (they're in several places)

Well, here's a nugget: my sound card is installed with the nVidia driver.

However, as far as I can tell, I have some recording that I've done in the past where tere was sound with the same config, albeit with a different graphics card some the same brand. It happened, like that, one day.

Here are my settings, you can take a look at it.

I know that the hookup is by an headphone jack on good quality.

Furthermore, when Windows doen't recognise my sound card, it's alwys for a split second and the headphone jack is hooked up at an pair of speakers and when it happened, the speaks was playing sound and the sound never cutted out, because sometimes, it was happening during a game. Maybe that can help.

Oh, I forgot: the mic is usually not plugged, since it's for recording and keep private.

From the screenshots, I'm guessing that your speakers are built into an HDMI monitor? Those don't do inputs, at all, so the mic must be somewhere else, that you haven't mentioned yet.

Or were you recording the Desktop audio, and *that* cut out while the speakers kept going?

Even so, you say that Windows doesn't recognize the sound card, but the speakers keep going? That's...umm...not really possible unless we're talking about two different sound cards: Windows drops one while playing through the other.
