Osprey 240e/450e User Guide

Audio recording control comes up with wrong device and wrong inputs

The cause of this problem may be that you currently have or have had previously, a Video for Windows audio capture driver installed in the system. The Osprey AVStream install process normally removes a previous Video for Windows driver, but if you have multiple Osprey cards installed you do have the option of running the Video for Windows driver on some cards and the AVStream driver on others. Unfortunately the Recording Control does not work smoothly in this situation. The Video for Windows device will always try to act like it is the selected device even if it is not. You have to manually enter Recording Control’s Options Properties dialog to select your device.

If you no longer have a need for the Video for Windows driver, you can uninstall it using instructions obtainable from Osprey technical support. If you are comfortable using RegEdit to edit your registry, you can instead go to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
