Andre LouisAnyone have a recommendation for a USB capture card? The one I purchased a while ago only has mono audio, no good for game-streaming and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Thanks.
Toni Barth@FreakyFwoof Which one did you buy back then?
@ToniBarth Ugreen thing, very cheap, and it's fine on the visual side but a lot of these cheaper cards have mono audio which I had no idea about.
@FreakyFwoof Are you sure that it is really mono audio? I'm asking because i've got a capture card here that seems to provide mono audio at first glance, but its actually the encoding that makes it look like its mono audio to Windows, although it actually isn't. When properly added in e.g. OBS the sound comes through in stereo just fine. Its just a weird driver and Windows incompatibility issue with that one.
@ToniBarth I looked at it on Mac in the system profiler and it said under audio, that it was very specifically one channel. I know windows does the thing where it decides certain sound cards are microphones for you because it loves to handhold, and I had that with a Behringer UCA22 once, but yeah, definitely mono this time sadly.
@FreakyFwoof Sad. Well, I can only recommend the Genki Shadowcast cards. Really tiny, but powerful devices that do a great job here. Have a whole bunch of them over several generations, from v1 to v3 pro.
