5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your capture card, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• Handle cables carefully to prevent damage to ports.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your capture card, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal/Black Screen: Ensure all HDMI and USB connections are secure. Try using different HDMI cables. Verify that your source device (console, camera) is powered on and outputting video. Check your computer's capture software settings to ensure the correct device is selected.
• No Audio: Confirm that audio settings in your capture software are correctly configured to receive audio from the capture card. Check volume levels on both your source device and computer. Ensure any connected headset or line-in devices are functioning correctly.
• Lag/Stuttering: Ensure you are using the original USB cable provided. Check your computer's resources (CPU, RAM) during capture/streaming; high usage can cause performance issues. Reduce the capture resolution or frame rate in your software if your computer struggles to keep up.
• RGB Lights Not Working: Press the RGB button on the device to cycle through modes or turn the lights on. Ensure the device is properly powered via the USB connection.
