What Audio Cable Do I Need for an original DS?

Post by Valkoor » Sat Sep 23, 2017 12:05 am

Hi all,
I just got my original DS back with the capture card installed, and the picture is great. However, there's no audio. The website FAQ said that I should use the included audio cable, but I didn't receive an audio cable with my DS, just the USB one. Any idea what kind of cable I need?

You'll need a 3.5mm audio cable. Some are thicker than others and you'll want one on the thinner side.

I can personally guarantee the cables included with this audio splitter work:

Getting a splitter is a good idea if you want to capture audio and listen with headphones.

Go to the dollar store and find a male to male 3.5mm audio cable. Plug that into the back of your computer and search for the microphone out in OBS (Mine's Realtek High Definition Audio, but it'll depend on which audio drivers you have)

You'll also want an audio ground loop isolator (they cost about 8$) so that it removes the buzzing sound from the audio capture. It'll have one male and one female side.
