Bandicam ALWAYS records mic instead of other sounds.

Hi

I'm getting this issue where Bandicam records only my microphone audio instead of everything else. I am not actually trying to playback my Mic at all, but I am recording audio in Audacity at the same time.

I only get this issue with a specific game, Tribes Ascend, and only in OpenGL/DX window targeting mode. I found that I could workaround the issue by running the game in windowed mode and using the rectangle record feature but I got a fairly horrible FPS drop.

I'm using windows 7 and have set my sound to record from Win7 Sound (WASAPI), I have also tried Primary Sound Capture Driver and get identical results. If I disable my microphone it gives me an error message about not starting audio recording correctly but then works perfectly if I retry, however I need my microphone enabled to record audio.

Any ideas?

Hello!

1. You should set Speakers as Defualt Device
If you choose "Win7 sound (WASAPI)", all you have to do is settings Speakers as Defualt Device

2. If you still can't record computer sounds, please attached some screenshot like below
1) Bandicam - Recording Settings

2) Windows - Playback tab

3) Windows - Recording tab

I've already fixed it. Basically I just stop recording once and start again after alt tabbing back in. No idea why that changes anything but it may be worth looking into.

I tried all of those changes before as you have posted them in other threads but they didn't help.
