Black Magic CC4k Plus not recording any external audio

PostMon Mar 20, 2023 10:06 am

Dear Blackmagic users,

I seem to be having issues with connecting external audio recordings to my 4K Plus camera. It might simply be that I don't know what I'm doing, I only manage the space that the camera is in, but it seems like I am unable to use either our XLR inputs or a typical 3.5mm mic. According to the monitor, it simply isn't recording any input apart from the internal microphones of the camera itself.

If it helps, the camera is connected using SDI and an SDI Link PCie card in the computer. I'm currently using OBS to record, disconnected the SDI cables just in case, but no audio was being captured. I've switched the modes from XLR Line and XLR Mic, 3.5mm Mic, etc etc, but the only modes that it records on is the internal mic of the camera.

Is there any additional information that I need to supply? Or is there a common issue that I'm not aware of?

Looking forward to your replies and to tinker with the Blackmagic to get it to accept external audio!

Cheers,

Kris
