Recorded Sound is too quiet

Post by Zeldamaster » Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:47 pm

Hello! Today I could finally test the capture device. I record with Fraps and with this, I can also record the sound from the USB-Port.
But the Sound is very, very quiet. If I turn the volume up, it's going to buzz. I already read about the ground loop isolator,
but I thought that would be only necessary if I record the sound from the headphone jack.
Is there any other way to get the sound louder without buzzing?

How are you recording from the USB port? It isn't supported by the board yet.

I normally connected the 3DS with the USB-Cable to my PC.
Then I'm starting the software to get the videosignal.
And then I used Fraps to record a video.

Maybe you mean, that the software iftself is not able to record the sound over USB,
but Fraps is able to do so. I activated "Record Win7 Sound" in the sound settings
and then I can capture the sound over USB, but it's very quiet just as I said.

Sound is not transferred over USB at all. Is your computer picking it up from a nearby microphone or something?

Oh, yeah. I think that would be it. Because my Headset is close to my PC
and the microphone was recording the sound with Fraps.
I'm sorry that I was so stupid that I have not noticed it immediately. :oops:

Do you know when it will be possible to record the sound via USB?
