PROBLEM CREATE AUDIO PBX RECORDER

[duv67]

Hello,

I installed the pbx recorder 1.9 version found as an attachment in a discussion on the forum. 
The creation of playfield and backglass videos works very well. 
However, I have a problem with the audio. 
Here are attached my pbx recorder ini and log files after an attempt to create the doctor strange table
 as well as a screenshot of the sound card settings.
 Thanks for your help.

You might get more error information if you open a command prompt and run

J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\FFMpeg\bin\ffmpeg -y -t 5 -f dshow -i audio="Stereo Mix" -y -t 20 -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1920x1080 -i desktop -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 -threads 8  -s 1920x1080   -crf 30   -vf "rotate=0:bilinear=0" "J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\playfield.mp4"

Look for error lines in red from ffmpeg in the result. If the "J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\playfield.mp4" file is created delete it after.

You could also download & try different versions of ffmpeg (but backup your current version first)

Hello,

If I type in the command prompt j:\>pb recorder\....... I get an error message "pb" is not recognized as an internal command!

[scutters]

Whoops!

Try

"J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\FFMpeg\bin\ffmpeg" -y -t 5 -f dshow -i audio="Stereo Mix" -y -t 20 -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1920x1080 -i desktop -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 -threads 8  -s 1920x1080   -crf 30   -vf "rotate=0:bilinear=0" "J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\playfield.mp4"

In the command prompt the > sign is automatically placed, it is not possible to remove it!

Copy the full text including the quotes from scutters.

All behind 'try:'

Edit : so you have this in your command prompt (and no need to go to j:)

[duv67]

 have the same error message!

[scutters]

You missed a "

[duv67]

 have the same error message!

[duv67]

[duv67]

there needed to be a space after "
Here is the result.
What do you think ?
THANKS

[scutters]

What is the output from the command prompt if you run this?

"J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\FFMpeg\bin\ffmpeg" -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy

Ok, try this next

"J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\FFMpeg\bin\ffmpeg" -y -t 5 -f dshow -i audio="Stereo Mix (ASUS Xonar DS Audio Device)" -y -t 20 -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1920x1080 -i desktop -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 -threads 8  -s 1920x1080   -crf 30   -vf "rotate=0:bilinear=0" "J:\pb recorder\PBXRecorder_x64_1.6\PBXRecorder_x64\playfield.mp4"

(i replace "Stereo Mix" with the full name "Stereo Mix (ASUS Xonar DS Audio Device)")

If that works without error replace the Stereo Mix name with the full name in Pbx Recorder

Ok, in windows settings search for microphone privacy and set the option to allow apps to access the microphone.

(see https://www.reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comments/y6meio/issue_to_record_audio/?rdt=61662)

Most of this is almost impossible to read due to the size and blowing it up makes it very blurry. Can you try to get a screen capture that is a bit more zoomed in instead for a print screen of the main screen and other monitors?

Sorry I thought it was readable. I hope it's better this time.
Here is the sound setting and the result.

Did you check the privacy settings for the microphone in windows as suggested in the link?

"Policy is within the privacy settings for microphone access for 3rd party apps (Win10 & Win11)"

Hello,

Are you talking about these settings?

Ok. I did what was necessary. 
This seems to work.
 But I can't find the audio file. It is not in the pinballx audio table folder and not in the pbx recorder folder. 
Where is it supposed to be? 
THANKS

The audio should be included in the playfield video file. From the pbx recorder log everything looks ok so i assume it worked 

Check the "C:\PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\1 Doctor Strange Balutito Mod.mp4" file for sound.

You may need to enable audio in videos in PinballX Settings -> Audio Settings -> Sound in Videos = Yes

[duv67]

It works !!
Big thanks.
Afterwards my PC has difficulty keeping up with video playback, especially for puck packs. (Phenom II x6 and gtx 660)
A suggestion to make reading smoother?
