Bug Report S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl - no sound capture

[Caribou007]

OBS isn't capturing sound from this game. Following some clues from a different issue, (an issue where people couldn't hear any sound from the game), I forced the game to use DirectX DirectSound instead of OpenAL, by adding -dsound to the Launch Options in Steam. Unfortunately, the game isn't meant to use DSound and there are problems, like audible pops.

OpenAL seems it can't always (if ever) be captured due to the fact that it bypasses the main windows desktop sound mixer -- and therefore bypasses the OBS' audio capture. Your only choice is to use directsound for te time being.

You could maybe try passing it through a virtual audio device: http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm

That one is free, and if you're only wanting to put your game through it, should be all you need.

Thanks- it works!

Awesome, I wasn't sure if it would. Filing this away for future reference.
