So just today I started experiencing an issue where the capture software will flicker when I have OBS running to try and live stream games from my 3ds. This issue is happening no matter what software is running on my 3ds and the capture software works just fine if OBS is closed but the moment OBS launches the issue happens. All software is the latest version and plugging and unplugging the 3ds does not resolve the issue. I have also tried using different usb cables and that changes nothing so this does seem to be a software issue. The video below shows the issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: capture software flickering when OBS is running
Have you tried enabling safe mode in OBS?
Re: capture software flickering when OBS is running
yes I did. I actually figured out the issue. I also have a separate hdmi capture card for other game consoles and for some reason having that plugged in caused the issue. unplugging it fixed everything.

I'm having the same problem, but even with my Elgato capture card unplugged and the source removed from the scene I'm using to stream my 3DS, streaming from OBS completely glitches out the audio and video the moment I click "start streaming" and stops glitching the moment I end a stream. Any help is appreciated.

How about increasing the priority of the CC software using the Task Manager?JoeDan54 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 7:26 amI'm having the same problem, but even with my Elgato capture card unplugged and the source removed from the scene I'm using to stream my 3DS, streaming from OBS completely glitches out the audio and video the moment I click "start streaming" and stops glitching the moment I end a stream.

I suspect that could help...

I did end up trying that and it seemed to help a bit, but the issue still persisted. I was able to solve the issue (at least for now) after doing a number of things, but I believe the main solution was changing which USB port the capture card was plugged into. It was already in the back of my PC, but changing it to another port on the back I think was what solved the issue, as I moved it to one of the topmost ports on my motherboard which I think have better performance. Fingers crossed that the glitches don't return!
