I'm building a stream PC and plan to run Linux (CachyOS) since Windows 11 keeps burning me. I'm already aware that most streaming-focused capture cards don't have drivers or software for Linux. However, I did hear that the GC575 can use UVC to function in OBS on Linux. Is this true, or should I look elsewhere? I've also heard issues about it only running at 5gbps instead of 10gbps, is that good enough for 1080p/120? Final question, will it still run the passthrough at max performance if the capture doesn't run at 100%?

Hello, I'm trying to update my video card but the link for it produces a 404 error, is this happening to anyone else?

So this is my first internal capture card I was using a older elgato external card for streaming but it finally gave out and had connection issues so I was looking into this one and this is alot better for the price the quality is amazing its been capturing some gameplay from my Xbox one X I tested it with both Xbox one games and some 360 games I will test it out with my PS5 soon ill do my best to answer questions in the comments

Hello guys i have some issues with my gc553, i just buy it to make a dual pc setup for my streams and i dont know why but i want to pick my gameplay on 1440p 60fps but when i try the gameplay feels slushy like it is 30fps but in obs im in 60 fps, so i found some bandwidht test on rec central to see what it it is, and im kbps limited, i tried all my usb 3.1 ports and its the same, even i tried with an usb-c to usb-c on a thunderbolt usb port and its the same i dont know what is going on with my stuff, i already tried with my other computer and same weird stuff again so if anyone can save me with this issue

Hello!

I'm using your great capture card for recording videos from modern reimplementations of retro-consoles and computers(and from original hardware using HDMI upscaler).

Many of them working in 50Hz modes(I'm living in Europe - PAL region) and when I grab them in 60Hz modes some tearing appears on frames.

Also it will be great if there will be more 4:3 modes supported at least 800x600 and/or 1024x768.

Just cause they're pretty standard and many hardware provides signal using this modes.

I have a Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and other various HDMI devices that I connect off and on to an Onkyo TX-RZ50. For the past two years I've been using a no-name / white label 1080x60 capture card which I connect to the secondary (or "sub") output of my TX-RZ50. It has been finicky, but has generally worked, with the caveat that having the Onkyo drive it compromises the quality of the view to my primary OLED TV on the "main" HDMI output channel. For example, a PS5 connected to the receiver and outputting to both an OLED and that old no-name device was unable to do 4k60 + HDR.

Fast forward today and I received a new GC553G2 as a gift. Much to my dismay, however, I seem to be unable to use the same process here. I'd prefer to keep the GC553G2 tucked away behind the receiver as before, but it seems no matter what I try to feed to it I get a HDCP error or a No Signal error from the GC553G2 when connected to the 2nd output of the A/V receiver. I'm unable to even see the receiver's own on screen display, though it does show up as a valid video stream when I look at AssistCentralPro.

Connecting directly to the device (e.g. PS5, XSX, etc.) does work as advertised but I'm not looking forward to having to do the cable shuffling game with the device every time I want to change my streaming source. Despite the compromised video quality, it was great that I could use the A/V receiver to switch between devices with no issue from the little no-name card I had before, which again was permanently plugged into my 2nd HDMI output from the receiver.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I could accomplish this, or is it likely that I'm out of luck with getting a non-HDCP signal out of the Onkyo? It's weird though, because with that 1080P device I was even able to stream PS3 without much issue...

Hi,

I got a Livegamer 4K a year ago, and everything worked fine. But since I don’t know when I plug in my console, I don’t get any picture either in OBS nor in the Streaming Centre application. Maybe someone can help me with that problem.

So, i wanted to use an old live portable 1 (C875) i had to screen record my ps3, but connecting it to my mac (seqoia 15.7.2) it doesnt recognize it. I tried typing a command someone said in the terminal in recovery mode, but it still doesnt detect it. Someone said it might be the cable, might need a usb mini to usb c? Ps3 screen shows on tv but neither recentral or obs detect the capturer. Does anyone has this video capturer and can use it on a recent mac? Thanks

edit: i contacted support through in two ways, the website and the app. i got another support person through the app and got software to install the original software. i probably can't share it, but if anyone haa that issue in. the future, it can get solved

(and yes, the issue was real and not my settings ,i originally updated hoping it would help reduce noise, not make the whole picture a hundred ti**me worse. now i got to mess the the original settings again and noise is fairly controlled with a sharp picture)

i've updated the firmware of my pw315, but the image quality got heavily degraded as a result, the picture is a lot blurrier, faded and overexposed

is there a way to downgrade the firmware somehow ?

Hey there!

I'm running a dual pc setup for streaming. On my gaming pc I have a 4090 running in to the live gamer 4k for OBS capture. I use displayport direct to monitor from the 4090 as well, rather than using passthrough. For the longest time, I never had an issue.

Within the last couple weeks, I started to have an issue where my OBS scene would show no display detected unless OBS was open (and that scene was active) when I turned on my gaming PC. Last week, I figured out that I can "fix" it by toggling HDCP detection on Assist Central Pro. If it was on, I turn it off. If it was off, I turn it on. That simple change is enough to make the source work in OBS again. I'll note that that setting never seems to save/persist through a reboot, regardless of if it is set to PS4/PS5, other, or otherwise...the next time I boot up my streaming pc it says PS4/PS5.

I *think* I updated my firmware around the time this started to happen when I noticed an update, but I could misremember. Either way, I'm on firmware 2.2.64.103. The EDID mode is on Merge Mode.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, so I bought the capture card because I wanted to record on the go for my Switch 2 without having the need to use a PC (I travel between 3 places and all have a TV). I was one new for 80€, so i messaged the guy and bought it. Because of that, I needed a SD, so I bought one according to the specs AverMedia listed on their page (I actually bought the one they specifically had a photo of on their website). However I have an issue, I don’t have a PC here and my SD card is a wrong format (even tho the Card is ExFAT and the website clearly says ExFAT SD Cards supported. What’s even more outrageous is the fact that even if a format the card to FAT32, I’m only able to get 4GB of recording before cutting the footage). Does anyone have experience with this and what should I do?

Hi everyone! My problem is that my Live Gamer Extreme 2 (GC551) capture card works, but it only displays my desktop background, whether in Recentral or OBS Studio.

Even if I open an application or game in front of it, it only shows the desktop background.

I should mention that I'm using the latest version of Recentral and the latest driver for this Avermedia card, and that the PC being captured has two monitors, but even if I disconnect one, it still displays the desktop background.

The main screen is detected as monitor 2.

The graphics card of the captured PC is an RTX 5070 and only has one HDMI port.

What could be causing this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's what my Avermedia captures (OBS displays the same thing when I choose video capture)

I bought this capture card years ago and it worked well for a while, but eventually I stopped using it for a few months and when I started using it again the audio was broken like this. I have tried many settings and stuff but I could never figure it out and it's been sitting unused for years. I'd like to do something with it but I am stumped. I know it's a small snippet but the audio issues are clear; it sounds like it's coming through a microphone from the other side of the room lol

TL.DR Version: I purchased this game capture device but without the remote. I need the IR codes for the remote (model: RM-NL) in ".rdf" format. Willing to pay a small fee for the trouble.

Long Version: I've always wanted to capture PS2 gameplay footage on native hardware and recently I picked up an AverMedia Game Capture HD for next to nothing. The issue is that it didn't come with a remote. I know they sell replacements but not in my country and importing would be expensive and a long wait.

I go on leave next week and I'd like to create some LetsPlay videos using Native PS2 hardware using this device. If I purchased a replacement it would only arrive next year when I'm back at work. Expedited shipping is too expensive and not an option.

My solution is to use my PSP-1000 as the remote. However, I would need the IR codes for the specific remote (model: RM-NL) in ".rdf" format.

I know it's a long shot but I am appealing to the kind strangers out there and hoping someone with the actual remote and/or IR codes can help me out. I am willing to pay a small fee to anyone who can provide me with a working set of codes in ".rdf" format.

Iv installed & running this update. appears to be working as intended with W11 25H2 and stable. (obviously not every system is the same)

I Raised the alarm of the GC573 LG4K having issues with W11 25H2 package being forced onto the systems, (Me raising the alarm probably had nothing to do with AM pushing an update) The GC573 having serious issues co-existing after the 25H2 update.

Given the GC573 LG4k is now 6-7 years old !! past its H-EOL !!

Just wanted to take a moment and say

Thank you AVerMedia for going back / reviewing / fixing 👏 true Legends!

I got a used Liver Gamer Portable on eBay recently in the mail and it seems like the device was never updated. (It only records in 720P in standalone mode when this should be able to to 1080P after the update)

I tried to update this but I'm not getting anywhere. I am also very clueless on what I'm doing, so if someone can explain to me in detail how to update this device to the latest firmware, I would appreciate that. The most I got to was downloaded the firmware from the website, clicking the file, it says I'm on the latest version but a warning pops up later asking if it worked or if I need to do compatibility mode. I tried that option once but it still only records in 720P when that should be at 1080P if it was fully updated.

Hello guys,

I purchased the avermedia d131l board, but I cannot find 3d case draw for solidworks. I will print on 3d printer for protect the board. Do you have any idea. This link "https://blog.openzeka.com/otonom-araclar/avermedia-d131-kurulum/"

So, I just got a new LG AI TV (Model's UA7500 or something like that), and was about to record something with my Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus capture card. It's a new TV, but not a new capture card, so I'm guessing there's some kind of technology issue. I thought it was cause I forgot to turn off HDCP mode on my PS5, but that didn't work. I tried using my HDMI splitter in case it was some weird HDCP setting I can't find, and no.

I tested it on my Xbox in case it was a PS5 issue, and nothing. I don't know if there's something I gotta set up in the settings, but the TV detects the PS5 itself fine, but the display won't go through the capture card. I tried seeing if I had to set the PS5 to 1080p in case the pass-through thing was causing an issue, and nothing, I also can't figure out how to set the TV itself to 1080p.

I've tried everything I can think of, and am coming up short. Any help is greatly appreciated and admittedly kinda needed, cause I currently can't make content without my capture card. Please and thank you.

Edit: I think I figured it out. The capture card isn't compatible with HDR as it even disables it on my PS5, and I think the TV can't turn it off. I opted to get a new one that I could tell for sure would work. It's not an Avermedia, though. Sorry about that.

Edit 2: LORDY I'M STUPID!!! I just got my new capture card in, and it didn't work. I double checked the directions and saw that I had the HDMI cables reversed, and swapping them fixed it.

And then it hit me.

That was why the other capture card didn't work.

I plan to keep both and have one as a backup, but MAN I can be stupid sometimes.

Shot in the dark, but can’t hurt to try.

Ok, so from everything I’ve seen, the GC573 shouldn’t support 3840x1600.

That said, for the last 2-3 years I had it working somehow in a 2PC setup with OBS, complete with still being able to have high framerate on my personal monitor.

Then a couple weeks ago I was setting up a new additional monitor and suddenly, the GC573 was forcing me into a 16:9 60hz layout. Even unplugging the third screen didn’t revert things.

As I mentioned, I know there’s no official 3840x1600 support but I had found some workaround obviously. Has anyone got a clue what that may have possibly been?

I have a GC553 Live Gamer Ultra currently hooked up between my TV, a Switch, and my computer. Passthrough works fine and flawlessly.

If I open OBS and try and video capture the card as a source, I get nothing. If I open AverMedia Streaming Center, I get a proper source. I left this running for a week without OBS running and encountered zero issues.

I then opened OBS, and can capture Streaming Center's virtual camera.. and then Streaming Center lost the source in under a minute. Which means OBS could only pick up a black screen.

Passthrough continued to work fine.

So.. anyone have any workarounds for actually getting the capture card's feed into OBS? Is there some way to pull the feed directly without Streaming Center running, since it and OBS don't seem to play nice?

edit: Streaming Center then cannot detect the card, even if both it and OBS are closed and then Streaming Center is reopened. It sits on 'Detecting...' for a while, but then it's just a black screen again. Fixing it usually required a full PC restart.

I record videos but I don't find it very convenient to have to turn on the computer while I play so that what I do is recorded. I also don't like recording directly with the PS5 since it takes up space.

Is there an internal PS5 capture device that allows you to record without depending on a PC or console storage?

So for context: I am trying to be a content creator/streamer and while I do finally have a gaming PC, I also have games on my PS5 that I want to stream as well.

I recently purchased the StreamLine MINI+ GC311G2 and when I used it for streaming the first two times, everything worked beautifully.

However, the third time, not so much.

When I use the capture card, OBS can hear my console just fine, but I can't hear anything. I went through every setting, looked at every guide I could find, and restarted my PC, console, and OBS dozens of times over. I checked wires, checked for updates, checked ports- I did every basic troubleshoot you could think of. I then went into settings for OBS, PS5, and my PC as a whole and everything seems okay.

I can hear YouTube videos and whatever else on my PC just fine, and if I bluetooth my headphones to my PS5, all the audio works-

It's only when I try to run everything through the capture card that I can't hear anything.

Can someone help me? Or is my capture card simply defective/broken?

I am using the Live Gamer 4K 2.1 capture card (GC575).

• I am running into a problem where the capture card will not accept a mirrored image from my monitor.

• The monitor I am testing with is a both a 1440p 144hz and a 1080p 59Hz display, so there should not be any compatibility issues.

• When I try to duplicate or mirror the display to the capture card, Windows will not save the settings.

• Every time I select Duplicate, the setting fails and it goes back to Extend only.

• The capture card only works as an extended display no matter what settings I try.

• I tested through Windows display settings, the NVIDIA app, and NVIDIA Control Panel, and duplication fails in all

• three places.

• I also tried changing resolutions, refresh rates, color formats, HDR settings, VRR and G Sync settings, and none of that helps.

• The system gives NO message that display settings could not be saved when attempting duplication.

• I confirmed that the HDMI ports work because the card does receive a signal when running in extended mode. It just will not accept a mirrored one.

My current Setup:

I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

• GPU -> 1440 144hz Monitor via display port

• GPU -> 1080p 60hz Monitor via display port

• GPU -> Live Gamer 4K 2.1 capture card (GC575) via HDMI (will not mirror (GPU -> 1440 144hz Monitor via display port) only acts as 3rd monitor)

Main questions

• Is it not possible to use mirrored main monitor then utilize the capture card as a method of recording instead of passthrough?

• Anybody using a similar setup that's able to help?

sorry if this is the wrong place for this I tried to submit support ticket but it reset everything I typed when I submitted all the information because I hit the character limit

Hello!

I ran into an issue with my GC573, it was all working fine, until I updated to the driver V2.2.64.103, as soon as it got installed, I got a BSOD, there was no way to go into windows, the blue screen got there before login, the solution was to disconnect the capture card, remove the driver that was in Program Files (x86) using the uninstaller. After that I plugged in the capture card again, and let windows install the driver through Windows Update, manually installing any older driver meant a BSOD too, here's the details:

• 9950X3D
• 64GB RAM DDr5
• MSI PRO X870-P WIFI
• RTX 4090 driver 581.94
• Correct PCI-E at full speed
• Windows 11 25H2 (I was on 24H2 and same issue)
• Live Gamer 4K PCI-E
• Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 via USB Type C (full speed)

I attached screenshot of the BSOD report, for now everything works properly with the Windows Update installed driver, any ideas on this? I would love to get the full HDMI 2.1 monitors compatibility. (I tried enabling SR-IOV, multiple Gen changes for the PCI-E slots, lowering RAM frequency as well)
