Problems with audio

Post by t3h_chosen_juan » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:31 am

Hello everyone.

I received my 3DS with the capture board installed a few weeks ago, and I'm extremely satisfied with the product. While I haven't made many videos right now, I'm planning many "let's play" in the future.

However, while playing Mario Kart 7 today, I realized that the audio was a little... weird. Here's a video:

I mean, it's not the worst audio I've heard, but there's a lot of room for improvement. I was wondering if I must change some settings in order to make it better? The sound on my 3DS was on "Surround", so I decided to try something new. Chose stereo, and it didn't change that much, then chose mono, and it became worse. I mean, sometimes it would get the sound right, but it was a very rare scenario.

I'm using a laptop right now, so there's no Line-In jack. Is there something I can do to make the audio sound better?

Have you checked the audio settings on your computer?

My audio sounded funny for a while too. Turning off any "enhancements" of your line-in will also make it sound better, from my experience.

I have a laptop as well with only mic/headphone input. I use afterglow wireless headsets so the mic jack is free. When I plug the 3ds into the mic jack I cannot get xsplit to recognize both sources as it assumes they are both microphones. Any suggestions?

I'm not very familiar with xsplit. Maybe there is a software solution? Something like this or this.
