Re: HDMI-recording stopped

Hello,
When you're seeing my last post, is there a reason for that message?

Re: HDMI-recording stopped

Hello, Thank you for your answer. It helped me with my second received message (Failed to initialize the video capture device.).
But my earlier problem is stil not resolved.

That message is ==> "The recording has stopped because the audio device is unavailable."
You did already give some hints, but it does not help. Sorry...
Do you have more hints?
Thank you. Wim

Re: HDMI-recording stopped

Hello,

The issue may be related to Windows temporarily disconnecting the USB audio device rather than Bandicam itself.
If possible, please try the following Windows settings:
- Disable USB power saving
(Device Manager → USB Root Hub / Generic USB Hub → Power Management)
- Disable USB selective suspend
(Control Panel → Power Options → Advanced settings → USB selective suspend → Disabled)

These settings may help prevent the audio device from disconnecting during recording.

Thank you.

Re: HDMI-recording stopped

Thank you for your intervention!

After much searching, I have found the cause. There is no problem with the Bandicam, but with a bad contact in the plug of the HDMI cable to the Video Capture...

Your contributions were very useful because something was also wrong with my settings!

Thank you very much!
