Expected Behavior
correct audio detection of the capture card
Current Behavior
The capture card is only recognized in OBS with 2.0 audio. However, the card supports LPCM 5.1/7.1.
The Avermedia software itself also correctly recognizes 5.1/7.1 and can be recorded. However, in OBS, as mentioned, it is only recognized and recorded as 2.0, even if OBS is set to record in 5.1.
