For about a week, I've had an issue where I'll be recording with someone over Skype, and suddenly they won't be able to hear me and the mic track cuts out in the footage. I thought it was a mic/windows issue so have reinstalled windows and gotten a new mic to find the problem still exists, but doesn't if I use something like OBS. Or at the very least, not as quickly. (The dxtory failure occurs within 20 minutes, OBS got to about 40 before I had to end the call).
I'm not sure that I've explained this particularly well, but I've reached a point of exhaustion trying to work this out, and it's getting hard to focus properly, so if it's unclear please ask very specific questions. Thank you.
Anything from anyone? Or do I just chalk this up to now being a useless program and uninstall?
Never experienced this problem.
Are you sure it is a DXtory problem, and not your PC?
Could be that there is so much crap running in the background interfering with the recording.
have you tried using Teamspeak?
I haven't tried teamspeak, but I have done a clean install of Windows and only installed the bare minimum of stuff and the problem persists. I honestly don't know what it could be since one day it was working fine, and then the next it was utterly broken. No change of settings, not apparent updates, nothing.
At the very least I can now confirm that I've reached 5 hours of recording with OBS with no problems occurring, though I'll give teamspeak a try when I get the chance.
Finally found the error report location, every instance I've tried to record where it then kills the mic has the following error.
PID:6852 C:\Program Files (x86)\ExKode\Dxtory2.0\Dxtory.exe
PID:6852 TID:12940 TickCount:93448421 AudioCaptureWAS::ThreadMethod Stream1 Fail m_CaptureClient->GetBuffer hr=AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED(88890004)
To me that doesn't read as anything particularly useful, but maybe it means something to someone else.
