PINNICAL DAZZLE SOFTWARE

OBS - initially there's a little static in the audio, but that usually clears up after about 10 seconds One of the interesting quirks of doing things this way is you'll have access to the video crossbar through AMCAP and can make on the fly changes to the video input (s-video or composite) and you can also change advanced video settings (region, color settings, etc) without causing any interruptions to a stream (aside from maybe a quick flash). In the future, just run AMCAP before your program of choice (OBS, etc) and leave it running in the taskbar. Rejoice!! Then minimize AMCAP to the taskbar (leave it running) On the main menu, click on Devices and choose the Dazzle Video and Dazzle Audio (audio won't show a check next to it)ģ. One of the programs that is installed alongside Pinnacle Studio, AMCAP (Pinnacle Studio > Tools > AM Capture in the start menu) is the program we'll be using.Ģ. This would explain why even though I chose the Dazzle Audio for game audio, nothing initially came through. Somehow the crossbar enables/disables the audio decoder in the drivers. After playing around with a few settings, I found that by tweaking the Dazzle's crossbar and tricking it to enable the 'link related streams' function, the audio would work for 1 session (either preview or actual stream). Initially I was able to choose the Dazzle Audio device but no actual audio would come through. On top of that, each video capture device added now has the option to choose any audio capture device.

Recently, OBS was updated with built-in deinterlacing options for video devices. Since Amarec does grab the audio for me, the only program I was able to test this in is OBS. Also, this fix does not work with XSplit in my experience. It's possible that it will work if you don't see it, but I give no guarantees.

This fix involves using Pinnacle software to unlock the Dazzle's audio decoder, but in order for it to work the Dazzle DVC100 Audio device must be seen by whatever capture/stream program you're running (on top of making sure the Pinnacle capture software is installed, apparently it's good for something after all). After hearing about a fix involving running Pinnacle Studio, I decided to test out a temporary fix that I've been using to see if the suggested Pinnacle software could make the fix a little more permanent and less of a pain to setup. When those don't work, hardware workarounds have been used. Some programs, like AmarecTv and Virtual Audio Cable, have shown promise in getting the audio natively from the device. Eventually I'll document all known and future fixes to the KB.Īs most of us have seen, the Dazzle's audio component is not the easiest to get working. There seems to be a huge abundance of people making threads to solve the same issue over and over again, so hopefully this can be a one stop for the most common fixes.
