DS Capture Card Audio Question

Post by AeroTheManiac » Tue Oct 22, 2019 10:47 pm

Hello everyone,
I apologize if you've heard this question before. I've done some searching, both in the FAQ's recommended Audio issue thread, and some more recent posts as well.

Current DSCapture app setup: http://prntscr.com/pmt48u
Current setup IRL: http://prntscr.com/pmt4bu
Current Sound Settings on my PC: http://prntscr.com/pmt4pv

Still not getting any audio recorded in the app. Any insight?

Check your recording volume levels.
Do you hear the DS on your PC? (live, not recorded)

No I don't. On this window, the equalizer isn't moving.

I don't know. It looks like your settings are ok. Cable problem, maybe? Is it plugged into the right port? Mic level is turned up?

-Bump-

So after a year of pretty much just dealing with it, I really need the audio now. Here’s a video of the full setup (3.5 minute video)

Don't mean to sound like a jerk but are we just admitting defeat on this one?

Just watched your video, and your mic was picking up something, very faintly, but you enabling audio playback might have been overdriving it. Make sure that your DS is at max volume, your headphone jack does actually work on the DS, plug it directly into your laptop's line in (which it may not even have as microphone jacks are usually mono only), and that Realtek's microphone option is not pointing at your webcam, but your audio jack.

Can confirm that it's picking up my voice through the DS mic, for whatever reason. Just listened to a playback with the jack in and it has me talking, with the only source is the jack.

I'm really struggling here. I have a feeling it works and it's something stupid missing but I have gone back to every post from 2012 onward and tried every possible solution. I have no idea what I could do to make this work, but I do need the audio to work. Is there possibly a piece of equipment that could reset it?

I'd even let someone remote in on my PC to fiddle. I'll pay for anyone's time.

By any chance is it a combo headphone/mic port because If so I’ve ran into a few that won’t pic up ogDS’s and have you tried headphones in the ds to see if the ports ok?
