Cannot Capture Audio - Help Appreciated.

[boadle]

Hi guys,

 

I've scoured the forum for a good while, and haven't yet seen my specific issue addressed. Actually, I have two, but one is more pressing than the other.

 

Setup: I'm trying to capture a PC game to an external hard-drive. I have a HDMI cable going out from my brand new GTX 960 into the input of the Roxio, and into an HDMI monitor. Video captures just fine.

 

Problem 1: Cannot find a configuration that allows me to capture audio. My PC audio output is connected to a 3.5 male-to-male extension lead, which feeds into a black/red RCA, which goes into the Roxio input. The output has another black/red RCA, into which my speakers are plugged, Thus, I can HEAR the game audio, but when I check the MTS, I find the video hasn't captured audio. Is there something else I should be doing?

 

Problem 2: Dual Monitors only capture tiny clip, then stop. With a dual or triple monitor setup, only a half a second of video is captured. I need to adjust to only one monitor in order to do the full capture. Naturally, this is becoming a pain.

 

Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance!

Problem 1 ~ it isn't made to capture audio...

 

Problem 2 - use NO Monitor to see what it does (play in your preview window)

Watch the tutorals and set it up the way they show it hooked up.

 

Does your Roxio Game Capture work now?

Hi guys,

 

thanks for taking the trouble to offer some guidance.

I'm slightly bewildered by both of these responses, Jim, as I was under the impression the device DID capture audio. Certainly the existence of audio ports indicates it's intended to?

I don't really understand what it would mean to play with NO monitor.

Dan - sadly, I can't find any set-up videos that pertain to a PC-only configuration, only to Xbox and PS3 set-ups.

 

I've since had some limited success by adjusting the PC Playback Devices settings, namely changing DEMOTDA19978 to be the primary device. This means I don't hear the audio, but it is be written to the MTS (although I think it has a reverb issue). I'm still in search of a way to simultaneously hear and record.

 

Your guidance is appreciated.

I don't know what confuses you, you said you use it with 2 or 3 monitors... DON'T! use 1 and play in the Capture Preview... (this is to test the capture only we are trying to narrow things down by removing unnecessay variables!)

 

You Never said you were using a PC how would we know that?

I was expecting a predictably obtuse response based on your post history, Jim. I appreciate you're the big fish on this forum, but is the confrontational attitude ALWAYS necessary? We're all just people trying to get by, and I was quite polite.

Oh I see. By 'No' monitors, you meant 'One' monitor.

Really? I did state:

Thanks anyway. Back to Google for me, I guess...

[Jim_Hardin]

Your biggest obstacle seem to be getting around your own attitide...

 

Best of luck to you, I am done with this one

You win, Jim. As usual.
