Bandicam Forum

Greetings, When I try to record pubg using Bandicam it says failed to start audio capture. Tried doing what the pop up page said to no success (unless I disabled all sound).

Also when I try recording in screen mode it's hit or miss whether it freezes or actually shows gameplay.

Specs 1070, i7 6700, 16gb 3600mhz ram 20tb hd space. blah blah.

Hello GPUabuse,

Regarding the "Failed to start audio capture" error message, Windows allows programs to use only one audio device at one time.
If the audio device is used by another program, you will see the "Failed to start audio capture" error message.
Please refer to the second solution again on the linked FAQ page.

Bandicam error message: Failed to start audio capture

If you still have the same issue after that, please let us know if you are able to record the game with the "Record Sound" option unchecked.

Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response, I tried the above with no success. I am able to record with the record sound unchecked strangely.

Other recording applications don't seem to have that issue.

Hello GPUabuse,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Please choose "(Default Sound Device)" as the primary sound device, and disable the secondary sound device (Your microphone), and try recording again.


Please let us know if you have the same issue when you don't record your voice.
We look forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Greetings, Yeah still getting the same issue. I also tried switching primary sound device to something else.

i readed somewhere PUBG is blocking game recordings...
to be sure if it is not bandicam, try the trail from fraps, if that comes out nill, it is the game that is bogus ^^

Hello GPUabuse,

Thank you for your reply.
It might be a problem with the voice chatting function in the game.
Please check if the problem is solved when you turn off the voice chatting function and let us know the result.

Thank you.

Greetings, This is still an issue. Failed to start audio capture.

I have my microphone AT2020+USB
and my desktop audio as default. also tried headphones to no sucess.

DXtory is working.
