Can I use DVI and HDMI on my video card at the same time at the same resolution, with the DVI going into my monitor, and the HDMI going in to my capture card? Also, can I send audio out the headphone jack and over HDMI at the same time?

 

Thanks

Some Gigabyte board that was cheap.

Do you plan on using the capture card to record your PC gameplay? If you are your specs should be able to handle Fraps, DxTory or Bandicam. There are a few others but I can't remember the names right now

Yes. My PC can handle it, but my capture card has software that let's me rewind and save a clip in case I am not recording. The problem with those programs is that you have to be recording all the time, and I end up missing things that would have been great clips.

I see where you're coming from and to answer your question, it should work the same as if it were a console

I just hooked up the DVI and the HDMI and the capture card and it works well. The problem now is how do I have Windows send the audio out to my headphones and to the capture card at the same time?

If your headset and the capture card both work off of an analog audio cable (3.5mm jack), you can get an an audio cable splitter.

The headset is a USB Surround Sound Game Headset, the Capture Card uses audio over HDMI. Windows only lets me choose one or the other, I need to send the sound over both at the same time.

Does anyone know? I really need this to work.

 

UPDATE: My capture card supports the analog audio, so a splitter could work, but the problem then is that my headphones are USB, and they are really nice, so I don't want to go buy ones with the 3.5 mm jacks.

You could try and find a way to record your windows sound. I think you need to do something in your recording settings to make it seem as if your sound is going through a mic. Once you've done that you can use Audacity to record your "mic"

I had to jerry-rig it work, but I ended up doing using Virtual Audio Cable to make 2 "Virtual" Audio Lines on my computer, then I used Audio Repeater MME in 2 windows to port the sound from Line 1 to my headphones, then on the second window, from line 1 to line 2, then in the audio settings, set line 1 as the default playback device, set line 2 as the default recording device, and then used line 2 to "listen to this device" and set the playback through the capture card HDMI. It works great though! Just like I wanted it to.
