Hello All,

I've spent a good couple of hours trying to get me head around the reason why only track 2 of my audio is being recorded. Below, you can see screenies of the settings I am using:

Output --> Recording Settings:

Mixer Settings:

Obviously, I'm using the remux to convert the output file to MP4. However, I only hear track 2, or desktop audio. I can never pick up my Mic although I can clearly see that it is being picked up via the green bar in the mixer tab.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Shaun.

Thanks for responding @Osiris.

In answer to your question, I start the recording and just speak first then play some sound via my head phones after, so there are two clear audio inputs from the Mic and Speakers. I know sound is being picked up as I can see the green bar under the mixer tab moving.

I then stop the recording and use the Remux to convert the outputted file to MP4. I then listen to it and can only hear the speaker sounds and not sounds on track 1, which would be from my mic.

It was working till about a week ago and I don't believe I changed any settings in regards to the audio.

Do the settings look correct to you at least?

Thanks,

Shaun.

Additional: I have also tested to see if it's my Mic, so I switched the two tracks round, making the Mic audio go through track 2. After using remux and listening to the MP4, I could no longer hear audio sounds however, could hear my mic.

You realize that your player will not play multiple tracks at once? You will have to switch between them in your player.

Oh jeez. I'm out at the moment but when I get home I'll take a look. My understanding was that Windows Media Player merges all audio tracks when viewing a MP4, or is this not the case... at least I've always been able to do this before.

Use VLC and open the recording then right click go to audio then select the second track your find it is there bud, also if you dont have an editor that can see both tracks your need something like audacity to export the secondary track

I usually just put the video straight into Sony Vegas. And that separates tracks.

Yeah man, it's WMP. Once you bring it into Vegas, you'll see all the tracks.

For your record settings, how do those work out for high movement video like FPS games? I haven't had much luck until I went to VBR and set a manual crf of 10 with bitrate at 1000 and 0 manual buffer.
