NVidia Shadowplay Not Recording Audio
Ever since I got a DAC to plug my headphones in, into the USB port, NVidia Shadowplay often (not always) doesn't record audio when I save footage and it's very annoying. Anyone know a fix?

Restarting doesn't fix it. It doesn't seem to be a matter of whether I've swapped between speakers and the DAC or not, it just does it sometimes.

Is the audio just really quiet? I have my headphones on 10-20 while gaming but I can't hear shadowplay audio unless they're almost at 100.

Because it records at Windows audio (afaik) and you're watching back in a video player which is also lower volume.
So it makes sense you're going to have quiet sound.

OBS is a nice alternative to make sure those issues don't happen.

I have OBS but it's just nice to be able to save the last few mins if I do something cool without planning for it.

Who's stopping you from doing that with OBS? Here's[obsproject.com] a guide on how to set up this feature.

Nothing's stopping me, just didn't know so thanks for the tip.

Yes, that was an obnoxious way of informing someone.
