How to use Razor THX with Nvidia Shadowplay
Hi folks!
Today, we are going to cover the issue of NVIDIA ShadowPlay not recording in-game audio if you have a Razor Headset and you have THX Spatial - Synapse as your default audio device. This occurs because of the way THX processes the audio and then spits it out of your USB audio device. Since Shadowplay has to catch the audio when its first produced, this won't work because the THX and the THX Service gets access to the audio before Shadowplay does. This results in no in-game audio being recorded when using THX Spatial-Synapse as your default audio device.
To fix this issue do the following:
1. Open up the Windows Settings panel and go to System.
4. Find the process "Nvidia Container" and set the default output to "Speakers - Razor - name of your headset". Do not set this to THX-Razor Synapse as that will make Shadowplay not record sound.
If you do not see Nvidia Container listed, open up a game and start recording and then alt-tab out and it should be displayed in the window.

ReplyDeleteHi, I have a Razer Kraken X headset and I have that problem where it only records my mic audio. When I go to the App Volume and Device Preferences tab, I don't get the option to change the output for the NVIDIA Container to Razer Kraken X or anything like that. I only have the I only have the "Speakers [7.1 Surround Sound]", "Default" and "Speakers [Realtek(R) Audio]" options, the last of which I believe is my laptop's default speakers. In fact, these are the only options I have for any other apps in the list.
