When I add a Web Browser input in vMix, it never has audio. There are no audio bars at all. No blur or green. It's like adding an image input. I have updated chrome and looked at default audio device. Not sure where to go from here. PC: Alienware R15 R2. Has GTX 1070, i7 CPU. Link to screen capture:

The video shows the speaker icon with a red x, which is why the browser input won't show any audio. Regards, Martin vMix

Regards, Martin vMix I have since closed vMix, plugged in headphones and ensured the speaker icon did not have a red X. Speaker icon is set to speakers / headphones. Web browser still does not show an audio source. What should I do next? Thanks! Still no Audio after Headphones / Speakers plugged in

Windows Start Menu ===> vMix Folder ===> vMix Diagnostics A quick scan of your system will show potential problem programs that may be interfering with Audio as well as showing potential background applications that could cause GPU issues. (like Sonic or Nahimic on ASUS and MSI laptops) Ice

The web browser input is still not providing audio.

Alternatively go to the Windows add/remove apps control panel and remove any 3rd party sound software you don't need. Also you can run vMix Desktop Capture to see if it shows any errors when connecting to it. (It uses a similar audio capture mechanism as the web browser). On some rare laptops I have seen some sound cards simply not work correctly with the web browser due to 3rd party addons included with the sound driver mixing things up. (Such as "3d sound" or "virtual surround" type applications).

At this stage all I can say is that the Alienware 15 r2 in not compatible with audio support for the Web browser input. I wish there was something I could do to resolve this.

We are at IBC at the moment, but should be able to investigate in a week or so.

It's very strange since for almost a year now I never experienced this issue. Web browser inputs always had audio before. It just stopped overnight. Does vMix have any fix? UPDATE: This issue definitely has to do with the output (headphones/speakers). I tried unplugging the headphone jack manually which gave audio from the channel - unfortunately not controllable from the vMix channel, but instead it sends the audio signal directly to the Windows output channel. Will update as soon as I got this figured out.
