The audio in ShadowPlay video recordings is extremely quiet.
The audio in ShadowPlay video recordings is extremely quiet.
Posted since my previous Windows 10 machine didn't encounter this issue, apologize if I posted here in the wrong forum.
New device: HP Omen 16
Processor: Ryzen 7 7840HS
Graphics: RTX 4060
Initially, I noticed problems when recording or using instant replay, as the volume seemed absent at first, but later realized it was too low to be noticeable.
This might be linked to the volume level I use with my iEM and headphones—around 2%, which is sufficient for clear audio, but drops to 4% or higher without causing discomfort. Going beyond 10% leads to ear fatigue and distortion.
Testing with USB audio devices and a 3.5mm aux plug showed similar results (volume between 2-4%).
At first, I didn’t realize videos had audio, so I switched to the new NVIDIA beta app instead of GeForce Experience. It completely silenced all sound, except for some YouTube videos that required separate audio tracks. Returning to GeForce Experience resolved the issue.
I’ve reached out to several forums for advice, but most suggestions only recommend using Obs or adjusting equalizers to boost volume.
In recording, even at 50% volume, it didn’t work consistently.
If you can help, please let me know—I’d appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
I've checked the USB audio device (headphones) and the 3.5mm aux plug audio device (IEM) on both laptops. The results were consistent, with a performance range of 2-4% being ideal.
If you're not eager to upload your videos, you can always adjust the audio to match the normal level.
I am able and I have attempted it, I added gain to the audio but the quality drops noticeably and I cannot determine if it is too low or too loud for others, is there any method to adjust the audio levels to standard? What alternatives do others use besides 2%?
I’ve seen many similar articles and videos, but unfortunately, shadowplay relies on system sound. What happens is I record at 2%, and when I play it back (with the same 2% recording), the volume drops to 0.04%. I’m wondering if this is normal—does everyone experience this? On both laptops and audio devices? I’m confused about what the typical volume should be and whether this will be a permanent issue for me.
The "Normalizing" process for computerized audio means the video or audio editing program identifies the loudest part in the sound stream and increases its level to 0 or -1 dB. It's an automatic method where you simply press a button in your editing software, and once the file is exported as sound, it becomes Normalized or maximized. The audio quality remains unchanged; only the volume is increased. I use Movavi Video Editor; you can test the free trial version to understand how it functions.
thanks, i attempted normalization on premier pro, it appears it functions, though it would have been ideal if the videos had a standard volume rather than being excessively quiet
