- I will explain how to setup the Vivitar Capture Card on your computer and how it works out.
This is my first tutorial and I was a bit nervous, a d also sorry for any sounds in the background.
Also, I know I said in the video that the fix setup is in around 4:35 but the actual part is at 5;00, so skip ahead to that point to set it up. I'm not sure why OBS setups are like that, but yeah :)

Hi everyone. In case that everyone is having audio issue, here's another video of how to hear your Audio into your recordings/stream. Hope this helps out
Hey goldy, I need your help. I can't seem to enable game audio. I got the vivitar capture card. I tried to do what you did, but it still won't enable Gane audio.
Can you help me fix it? Just chat on these comments please.
Hi there. Did you check the link here that goes to the next video? I talked about how to test if the audio is going through your card
I am so thankful to find your video! You explained it very well and I was able to get my Wii set up for streaming!
Glad I could help out
Sir i havent had this thing less than an hour or so and still cant figure out the instructions, this saved my ass.
tysm for this! very easy and quick, straight to the point. just bought a new switch and wanted to stream some games for my friends to watch!
Glad I could help out. 😊
Im using my macbook for obs and my gaming PC to game and sending the HDMI to go to the MacBook via capture card. the video comes through but the audio doesn't. but when I do it from my xbox it works fine. what could be wrong
If you're using your HDMI to card as a display to The obs on MacBook, you may have an option to output your audio settings to HDMI audio,and it'll go through the card, but you'll lose the ability to hear the game directly from your PC.
Another idea is an audio splitter for the headphone jack , requires 2 aux cords, or 1 aux and Cable headphones. Put the splitter into the PC headphones jack, plug 1 aux cord to the splitter and the other end to the MacBook microphone jack, and the second cord in the splitter and the other end to an aux input speaker or aux input headphone,or cable headphone.
Obs on MacBook should automatically pick up audio. If not, you can add the audio source
I don't know if it'll help, I don't know anything about Mac lol
greatest video ever thanks man i couldnt figure this out
Tyvm sir it worked super well for my ps4!
mine it's not working, what did u do?
I tried to explain the best way I can. I made a live video demonstrating the setup and possible troubleshoot
Yeah mine stays on the colored screen for some reason. Makes no sense
Check to make sure that your hdmi cable is connected and that your game is on. Showing the colored screen is a good thing to let you know that the capture card is working. Also try to adjust the settings of the capture card to a resolution, like say 720p and see if the game shows. I tried both XSplit Broadcaster, which is my mainly use of streaming and recording, and I did try OBS, is what you're seeing here since mostly alot of people uses this.
I think we need a third hdmi cord
If you happen to have a HDMI Splitter, then yes. You would need 3 HDMI cords. 1 from the game to Input Splitter, and 2 from Output Splitter for the computer and TV. If you guys like, I can make another video to show the results of both Computer and TV showing the gameplay
How do you record gameplay video? Or is that a different thing?
There are multiple applications you can use to record. Mainly, OBS Studio and XSplit Broadcaster is one of them. Streamlabs also made a version of their own with OBS, called Streamlabs OBS.
@@goldy58sgamingchannel58 thank you!
Great Video! This was very helpful and I appreciate it so much :)
thank you so much this worked perfectly easy to understand
Glad it helped out 😄
this is a great tutorial as the instruction manual isn't very detailed, thank you!
Thank you so much.
dope vid! straight to the point!
Thank you
Thanks for showing this. I picked up one of these from walmart and it seems to capture 1080p @ 60fps with no problem, maybe yours can too? It says 1080@60 on the back of the box. Not bad for the price, excited to play around with it more. 😃
Thank you so much.
@cubanthunder3020 glad this helps
For whatever reason mine will randomly cut out for a split second and then turns back on but then I have screen tear
When I add my capture card I don’t see any sound on the mixer
Sry for the late reply.
I the Audio Mixer, there should be an audio automatically added to it when you add the USB Video device in. If not, you should be able to add an audio source from the capture card and look for Digital Audio Interface (USB Digital Audio) which is the Vivitar Capture Card.
I’m trying to do this on my ps5 but it’s not working😢
Hi. Make sure that's it's plug in your Computer USB. On your computer, Right-Click on the Starbutton, and click on Device Management. See if there's something like Unknown Device. If you happen to see this, right click on that and uninstall. Then try removing the device and plug it back in to make sure that it installs properly, it automatically installs. Then check back into your OBS and you should see the device in the list from the Video Capture part, namely USB Video. Unless that you have a different device with a similar look, like the HDMI Capture, it'll work the same way, but probably with a different device name on OBS. I can't tell since I only owned the Vivitar Capture Card.
Is it the same device, and are you using OBS?
@@goldy58sgamingchannel58 i have the vivitar capture card and it still wouldn’t work
Huh. I wish I could really be more helpful to you to get it going. Only things I can come with to try to help with some solutions
In OBS, try diffent device names in the list. It could be read differently. Don't worry, you won't mess up anything, it only displays the device.
In OBS, if there is USB Video in the list, try changing the settings up by turning on or off the custom resolutions and other video output. Sometimes, it refreshes the output and would show. You'll see the color screen, letting you know that the device is working, if not already connected to the game.
If using a splitter, make sure that the game HDMI is connected to the input of the splitter, while the output goes to the TV, Computer, or both.
Check your HDMI cables and make sure that there's no shortages in them.
Check inside the HDMI ports of the cables and ports to make sure there's no corrupted pins
Male sure the USB port is working. If your computer is equipped with A Type-C port, use the Type-C to USB dongle and try using the capture card on that
Making sure that the computer install the capture card successfully. In the Device Management, if there's an Unknown Device showing in the Device Management list, unplug to see if it dissappear, and if that was the case, the computer didn't install it correctly, and the device may be malfunctioned. Using USB, devices may look fine and some parts may be connected to the metal parts, but some other metal may been broken inside without noticing it, and cause the computer to see it as an unknown device. I had another one that sees it as a corrupted device
Try restarting your computer, which starts every fresh again, and try to plug the device in.
If it does shows the color screen in OBS without it connected from the game, then that's a good start, we know the card is working. The we just have to figure out why the game isn't going through. So with the computer explanation we can exclude the troubleshoot
I tried to explain some possible solutions as best as I can.
@@goldy58sgamingchannel58 I’ll try it man thank you bro
I have the colored screen i dont know how to fix it 😢
Ok, so the color screen shows, that's good. Now turn your game on and it should pull through the capture card. Make sure that the hdmi is hook to it. You can try this out by plugging the HDMI from your console to your capture card. If you have a splitter, plug your game into the input part and have another HDMI to plug from the output of the splitter into your capture card.
For some odd reason when I do the advanced audio so I can hear it on my computer it doesn’t seem to work, got any advice to help with this issue?
u wanna press the home button or the microsoft logo button, and search up change system sound click on ur capture card thing and go to the listen tab and make sure it make sure the “listen to this device” check box is checked
also dont forget to press apply
@@sergeantshrimpdid this, still getting no audio. any idea why?
Hey guys. If you're still having trouble with the sounds, check this last video of where I talk about checking to see if it installed correctly and that it's showing in the Device Management
ua-cam.com/users/livef-3VYY1Vo0Q?feature=share
I've got one, but the "USB Video" option isn't showing up! Any idea why?
make sure ur camera on the computer is on
jus go to settings and search “camera privacy settings”
Sry for the late reply.
It's what @sergeantshrimp said
thank u help me with my game sound.
Im stuck on the screen
Hi. Make sure your device is powered on and make sure your cable don't have a shortage. Test your cables by directly connecting from the game to the tv
But bro that video wasn’t live, my game’s still lagging and I have the same card and did the same settings, and fast internet
it is a $20 capture card, it can only do so much for $20 ^^;
Sorry for the late reply, but no, this isn't a live video. This was recorded to show you how to setup the Capture Card and how it works. I pinned a comment of the live video I did
Anybody having problems where you can't hear game chat audio as in there voices?? Or party chat
I like to know more detail on how your setup is and what console
@@goldy58sgamingchannel58 xbox series s but i got call of duty game chat to come through but other audio doesn't
This helped me soooooo Much I’ve watched many videos and they didn’t help me I found out you have to turn on the switch to stop the rainbow screen
Haha yeah. Some may not know about it since you really need to see the end results, and that's by seeing the game itself going through the capture card. The Rainbow screen is just a start to let you know that the card is working properly, just need the game to be turned on to see it.
Glad it helps out
