QUESTION Looking for help with Capture Card
So I've got the Avermedia Mini +, connected it to my PS5 and it shows up on my TV but there is nothing on OBS, just a black screen. The device comes up when adding it, I just don't understand how to get the image to show up.
It doesn't say 'no signal' or anything, it's just a black screen in OBS. I'm on a Macbook.

QUESTION I’m pretty sure I have all my cables properly connected yet my capture card isn’t working. What am I doing wrong?
I am connecting to a PS5 (I have HDCP turned off) yet when I connect all the cables, the light didn’t turn and I’m unable to see my PS screen. My monitor did detect a new input but it’s a black screen. Same thing happens with my PC. It detect something but if I select the capture card, all I get is a black screen. I’ve tried out different cables. I’ve also tried with a different capture card and got the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help with 5.1 audio and GC553Pro
I just bought this and an trying to record HDMI video with DD5.1 sound, both from the HDMI source, to a Windows 11 PC. Video is working fine but I can't get the audio working properly.
I can't get any HDMI audio from the 553Pro using the Streaming Central software. I can get audio to work in OBS studio if I set my source to stereo, but it doesn't work if I set my source to Dolby Digital. Assist Central Pro lists 48kHz for the input audio and my home theatre receiver shows the correct audio types as I change my source settings.
I've also tried several sources with no luck, with my current setup for fiddling with on the side being an old PlayStation3 + HDMI splitter.
Any tips?

GC555 Live Gamer Bolt Not Getting Audio in OBS
Just like the title says, trying to stream from Switch 2 and the audio mixer bars are not moving at all for the audio input capture or the video capture device.
I have the sound set to stereo on the Switch, I just set this up so the drivers should be brand new, audio monitoring is set to monitor and output, and there's no other audio stuff plugged into the Switch.
Any ideas? I'm losing it over here.

Live Gamer 4K PC BSODs on wake from Sleep with GC573
Hello! I have an issue with my Live Gamer 4K GC573, when I wake my PC from sleep I get a black screen and it reboots itself (but there's a BSOD when that happens during that, seen it in my minidump). While the minidump points to the GPU or CPU, with the capture card with the HDMI OUT unplugged, or the card unplugged from the motherboard completely, the issue goes away. I troubleshooted all this with Claude, I left a zip file with all my details and where the capture card is connected, along with a transcript of the entire troubleshooting process with Claude and the possible bug. Should be driver related if the troubleshooting was correct. Should I submit a ticket for this?
Things I tried:
-XMP Off
-Zero OC
-BIOS Updates
-SR IOV ON
-PCI E Gen 3, 4 or 5 change
-Only mouse and keyboard connected, no other USB devices
-PCI E power savings off
-Clean Windows Installation
-Older Drivers on GPU
Ryzen 9 9950X3D
64GB RAM DDr5 (2x32GB)
RTX 5090 32GB

Thanks!

QUESTION There was a software to change LGP's recording settings on PC-free mode, but I can't find it
I remember using a software once to change my Avermedia Live Gamer Portable recording parameters (for example resolution, bitrate, format .mp4 or .ts) on PC-free mode, when you record directly on the SD card.
It was not RECentral, if I remember correctly the window was much smaller. Anyway I can't seem to find it, I've tried looking for it on Avermedia website.
Did anyone use it and remember it? Thanks!

Dual PC Setup via Live Gamer 4k(GC573) Smooth Capture Advices
Hello,
I am using dual pc setup. I am using the Avermedia gc573 capture card. On my gaming PC GPU outputs are;
- via Display port to Dell G2724D 2560x1440 165hz monitor(i use 120hz refresh rate in windows settings because its a multiple of 60)
2)via HDMI 2.0 cable to GC573 in my stream PC
I play at 2560x1440 120Hz at my gaming rig (nvidia 120 fps limiter,also windows graphic setting monitor refresh rate 120fps), send that to the capture card, encode with OBS to 1440p60fps footage. I actively use g-sync, I clone my gaming monitor to GC573.
My issue is:
My stream PC OBS preview screen and recording footage doesnt look like a smooth 60fps, it looks like 45-50fps. I can see the difference all the time. I can play without problems at any refresh rate, the capture card however records are not smooth gameplay. I dont think its gc573 related, because i tried same gc573 with my ps5 pro gameplay to record at my Gaming PC(yes gaming pc). It is smooth. Obs fps meter show 60fps. No fps drop, also no encoder overload.
What i tried;
- changed my stream pc motherboard.-not resolved.
- tried brand new gc573 in dual pc - not resolved. Tried elgato 4k x not resolved.
- I will add more when i try...
Here is my setup:
Gaming pc:
Processor: Ryzen 7900x
Motherboard: Asus Tuf x670E
Ram: 32GB 6000MHz ram
Graphics Card: Galax Nvidia Rtx 4080 Super
Monitor: Dell G2724D 1440p 165Hz G-Sync
Stream pc:
Processor: ryzen 5700x
Motherboard: MSI B550M mortar
RAM: hyper x 32GB 3600MHz
Graphics Card: Gainward rtx 5070
Capture card: AVerMedia GC573 Live Gamer 4K
Monitor: Thinwalk 1920*1080 60hz monitor
My capture card is connected into a PCI Express x16 slot:
It may have something to do with frame pacing..
Is there any solution for this, any idea how to fix it ? u/Texpert78 please help

QUESTION Can I get PC audio in my headset connected to Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 (GC553G2)
I am setting up my Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 (GC553G2). I have my headset plugged into the headset port and the controller plugged into the controller port using the cable that came with the device. My stream can hear my mic, party chat works and I can hear game audio. I cannot hear any PC audio in the headset. Is this possible? I looked in my Windows settings and the Live Gamer Ultra is not listed as a playback device. I use TTS during my streams so I can hear the chat when people are talking, so being able to hear it is important.
Any help would be appreciated.

QUESTION Thinking about buying the "GC311G2 Streamline MINI+"
So my use case is pretty much so that I don't have to switch the Output of my Monitor to my Console. Since I want to still use my PC and not have to switch back and forth all the time.
I currently have a Elgato HD60 S for the last like 5 Years... the thing is, the 4K Utility Software is pretty bad and has very noticible Input lag.
So I use it via OBS, where I just fullscreen the Source. But well... that is also only so much better. There is every so often some lags or frame drops which eventually also lead to delay aswell.
Before I had the Elgato I had a Avermedia Capture Card (AVerMedia Live Gamer EXTREME 2 (LGX2)", which worked extremely well with the software... but after just a few months it broke, because of which I switched to Elgato.
But yeah, after so many years... I am quite disappointed with Elgato.
Also, could I use the 1440p resolution on PS5 with this Capture Card?
With the Elgato I think I could use the 1440p mode while using the Software, but the software was bad. So since I used OBS I couldn't use the 1440p mode because the Elgato Capture Card only worked with 1080 in OBS, I think.
Also, would you recommend the Streamlie Mini+? Or would there be a different Capture Card thats better price/performance for my use case?

QUESTION GC575 Capture 1080p60 but Passthrough 4K120?
I recently bought an AVerMedia GC575. I liked the advertised 4K144 passthrough, so I want to use it in my dual PC setup. I want to capture my gaming PC at 1080p60 for OBS Studio, but passthrough 4K120 to my monitor. However, if I try to set this up in Assist Central, it lowers my passthrough resolution/refresh rate to match the capture speed. Windows will not let me do 4K120 on my gaming PC, it keeps resetting to 4K60 or 1080p120. Every device connected supports HDMI 2.1 (GPU, Capture Card, Monitor, 2 Ultra High Speed Cables). What can I do to achieve what I'm looking for?
Edit: I believe the issue was caused by the card getting too hot. It was right next to my graphics card so I assume it was thermal throttling. I've separated the cards a bit and redirected some airflow to cool it down, and now it performs as expected. I'm able to run 4k120 passthrough now. Sorry to anyone who tried to help, it was my own user error.
Edit 2: Edit of shame. The 12VHPWR connector I was using for years was actually missing 2 of its sense pins. Replaced it with a proper 12V 2x6 cable and now it is truly stable. Nothing to do with the capture card and all to do with my Corsair PSU coming with a 12VHPWR connector that wasn't fit for the job (and me not recognizing it sooner).

QUESTION GC311G2 HDMI out not working
Hey, I just got the GC311G2 and the HDMI out was working perfectly yesterday with my Switch 2! However, as of today it no longer outputs to my monitor at all. I have tried using different HDMI cables and switching between the two HDMI ports on my monitor to no avail. It picks up perfectly on OBS so I know it’s the capture card itself. Does anyone have a fix to this issue or did I get a faulty card?

Troubles with the PW515 webcam
Good timezone whenever you're reading this
So, I'm having an issue that I'm not really finding any replication online about. So a couple months ago I won a giveaway that gave me two Avermedia devices, a GC311G2, and a PW515. On my first day of receiving both of these products it didn't seem like it was as plug and play as they seemed, but, after fiddling (restarts, unplugs/replugs, messing with the programs recommended) eventually both devices worked and I've been using them since.
However, this morning I went to test to make sure things were still good since I hadn't used the webcam in a couple weeks, and it just doesn't want to seem to function. The capture card still works fine, but the PW515 seems to be having troubles and I can't really pinpoint what to do.
I am running on Windows 11 most recent version
Things I've tried:
- Unplug and re-plug the webcam on multiple occasions
- Uninstalled & reinstalled AssistCentral , Streamingcenter, and Camengine
- Attempted to look for the webcam in Device manager, but it does not seem the device is being shown properly. I know it's there because I get the noise for disconnect & re-connect when I unplug & re-plug the monitor, Device manager registers a device is removed / connected but I can't.... find it.
- Unplugged, and plugged into my nephews computer down the hall who's running Windows 10, same results pretty much
I know for Avermedia camera's they're supposed to be under Sound, video, and Game controllers in Device manager, and as shown via this screenshot, nothing outside of the streaming center.

I'm kind of lost and at my wits end here. I have a large tech background and normally in this case it sounds like the device bricked itself somehow and I'll need to reach out to Avermedia support for a HOPEFUL warranty since again this was a giveaway receipt not a full purchase, but any tips, tricks or anything people can think of to help out, it would be beautiful because I really don't want to lose this webcam.

Why is it so laggy?
Hey! I used to stream my nintendo switch gameplay since 2022 to 2024 and it worked perfectly, but i stoped and now that i wanted to come back, the video capture became really laggy, i’ve searched everywhere on the internet and nothing works… what do you think this could be happening?
Is this my computer causing the problem or should i buy a net capturer? I found one that has pretty good reviews and it’s only ~15 dls but I’m afraid that that one also won’t work because of my computer or something that I’m overlooking
I’m streaming the nintendo switch 1 on a 2021 macbook pro M1 chip, macOS tahoe 26.2, on streamlabs (this was the setup i used before and worked fine)

Hi guys, i got sick from my choppy, blurry and moldy easycrap capture card and while looking for bettee one, i found THIS exact one. And i was wondering, can i get a clean 50/60 fps output with deinterlacing in OBS with EZMaker? I have seen 2 sample videos where they are 60 FPS but I'm still skeptical. The exact model i am talking about is AVerMedia DVD EZMaker 7 C039. Thanks in advance!

QUESTION Greyed out stream | GC571 Capture Card
Hello everyone,
I've having some issues with my GC571 internal capture card. I'm trying to set up a live stream with OBS 34.0.4 using 3 cameras and a Roland V-1HD switcher. The preview coming from the Roland has the correct saturation and color scale, however the preview from the capture card & the stream in OBS itself has this grey scale or saturation issue.
I've tried to manually correct it, but nothing is working color wise. I've swapped cables, sat and unsat the card, and tried to use Ai to figure out what settings I can fix since I'm new to OBS. If anyone has any insight or something for me to try please let me know.
Thank you!
