xstevez 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 I play on a pc monitor that uses a hdmi-dvi cable from my xbox so I bought an HDMI splitter so I could record with the hd pro. My setup goes like this, Output 1> HDMI> HD Pro Xbox> HDMI cable> HDMI splitter> Output 2> HDMI to DVI> Pc monitor Why do I still have no sound while recording?

Why the splitter? Why not simply follow the recommended setup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 xstevez 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) When I was using the device with a tv it worked fine, but when I hooked it up ( I did follow the recommended setup) to my monitor via HDMI-DVI cable I got no signal on my monitor, however I was still able to record albeit blindly. It didn't matter what I did, I could not get a signal on my monitor going through the device itself. I got a splitter so I was able to play on my monitor and record it, which works fine but I have no sound. Could this be the fault of the HDMI-DVI cable? Could it be that because it doesn't carry an audio signal its telling the splitter to do the same? Would I get a different result if used a HDMI-DVI adapter instead of the cable itself, or would it not make a difference? EDIT: Used an HDMI-DVI adapter still no signal Edited August 25, 2013 by xstevez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 d_deweywright 117 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 His original post does lay it out fairly well. But that doesn't show how he would know that the splitter is working fine except for the video. It would be nice to know the make and model of the splitter too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 d_deweywright 117 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 Yes, I see the inconsistencies there, but if he has what he's put in the first post, then he wouldn't have audio at the PC monitor (which probably doesn't have speakers anyway) but I don't see why he wouldn't have audio at the Game Capture device. So, yes, we need to know what test he's done to prove that the splitter actually works, and know what make/model of splitter might help us too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jim_Hardin 418 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 3 people suspect the splitter but xstevez wants us to just believe him that the splitter is OK... THERE IS NO other reason why audio wouldn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for taking so long to reply (Internet was knocked out) My splitter works fine, before applying it for this I used it for my blu-ray player. a link to it is here-> http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Powered-Splitter-Certified-Up-1080p/dp/B003B4O7NS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377629271&sr=8-1&keywords=sewell+hdmi+splitter My monitor does have speakers built in, there's an audio-in-jack in the back. I used my 360 audio dongle I use to use my headset with my system to try and get sound that way but it didnt work and I found my speakers aren't the best.

So yes it,could be the splitter. Under normal use, it performs fine but for my adapted use it doesn't fully work. Im suspecting thats what happened in my case.

0 d_deweywright 117 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Can you try this test: take the splitter out of the configuration, just for a test, and only hook up directly to the Game Capture unit. You won't be able to "play" because of the lag, but you can get a test recording to see if you get audio. Now put the splitter back in, but only connect the Game Capture unit, don't put in a second HDMI cable, and see what happens with that. Another question, why are you using the splitter instead of the pass-thru connector on the Game Capture unit? (As in: XBox -> HDMI -> Game Capture -> HDMI/DVI adapter -> Monitor.)

I play on a pc monitor that uses a hdmi-dvi cable from my xbox so I bought an HDMI splitter so I could record with the hd pro. My setup goes like this,
Output 1> HDMI> HD Pro
Xbox> HDMI cable> HDMI splitter>
Output 2> HDMI to DVI> Pc monitor
Why do I still have no sound while recording?
