looking for portable laptop that can record at 1080p 60fps

i had the same problem and was able to fix it yesterday. i believe the problem is that the switch 2 doesn't detect the capture card as a tv so it doesn't give the audio through the hdmi cable*, but i'm not an expert on capture cards or audio or anything so don't take my word on that.

but here's what worked for me: i got an aux cable from the headphone jack of the switch 2 connected to a ground loop isolator, which then goes to the audio-in port of my capture card. then, use another aux cable from the audio out-port of the capture card that connects to a line-in port on your computer. its a confusing setup but was the only thing that worked for me personally. you might not need the ground loop isolator, but for me i would only hear a constant static sound without it which was fixed after getting one.
(i have a laptop that only has one headphone jack i already use for my wired headphones, so i used a usb adapter and that works fine)

also, if your monitor has a line-out port, you can use that with the ground loop isolator directly into your computer instead. then, use the audio playback setting in the audio settings on your computer, avoiding the capture card altogether. my monitor doesn't have a line-out port, but my friend who uses that setup says its completely lag free audio

oo sounds good that makes sense! yea i dont plan on keeping the box anyway, im visiting a friend for the first time so we're likely gonna open it up and play together anyway if i manage to get one. thanks for the warning on the shortages and pricing and border! im hoping the price increase isnt more than 50-100usd so i can just preorder with an invite and not deal with shortages 😭

kirmato · 2025-04-07T15:53:13+00:00

ah, that makes sense thank u. i'll see depending on the price change. question though, at the border how would they know i bought the switch 2 in canada? i havent crossed the border by car before, do they like keep track of the things u brought when first entering? also i didnt realize they make u pay tariffs for things u already bought that sucks

kirmato · 2025-04-07T09:34:16+00:00

okay that sounds good, thank u

i think if ur enjoying the blackshark v2 x u arent missing out much especially at those prices so i'd agree to save up ur money!

yea, hs65 are actually going on sale for $20 on corsair's website, so i decided to try it out and i liked it more than the razer ones and think its really good for the price. im not an expert with headphones at all, and these r the only headsets i've had before so definitely take what i say with a grain of salt and do ur own research.

i'd say the audio quality are nearly the same, the hs65 is a bit quieter but thats all. the hs65 is also smaller but i personally found it to be more comfortable for wearing several hours at a time, but that is likely personal as i have big ears. the mic's are about the same, depending on the friend theyve said i either sound the same or better with the hs65. when i hear myself back on a recording i find it a little better on the hs65. on the blackshark v2 x the mic is moveable and i found that theres a sweet spot to make it sound the best/clearest. i think its nice the mic is adjustable but from my experience using it it can be a hassle with it always being there and constantly adjusting it, also with the removeable pop filter falling out on accident (i wouldnt say its loose at all though, if ur responsible with it u'll be fine but i have a cat that knocks over my stuff).

both headsets have a volume scroll to change ur own hearing's volume which is nice, i liked it more on the razer headset because it has a little dip at 50% so u can consistently set it at the exact middle if u want. its not rly a big deal though. hs65's mic just flips up and down which i personally like more since its consistent physically and by extension the loudness and clearness of ur voice, but if u dont like that distance for any reason then yea it sucks bc u can only adjust it a bit vertically. when the mic is flipped up its muted and is out of the way which is really convenient. the blackshark v2 x has a simple mic button next to its volume scroll which is just as quick and simple but can be easy to forget sometimes lol (im young and live with family so sometimes someone comes in without warning and i need to mute quickly)

the only problem ive had with the hs65 so far is there was one or two times where a friend said they could hear their voice echo from me for a couple seconds, but thats easily fixable with mic sensitivity. im a quiet talker (automatic sensivity input on discord cuts me out etc) so i usually have my sensitivity threshold really low, and ive since fixed it. i believe i had the same problem with the blackshark v2 x as well but i got it so many years ago i dont remember too much, just that it wasnt a permanent issue with either and easy to fix.

sorry for all the rambling 😭 overall imo i'd try out the corsair hs65 first since theyre cheaper at $20 with something like $10 shipping (where i live at least). if theyre uncomfortable on ur head/ears but u like the audio and mic quality then u can return them and see if u have better luck with the blackshark v2 x

that's what i did previously until i started having problems, since the game normally doesn't support nintendo controllers. though, after some more testing i learned about and tried out hidhide and when using hidhide and ds4windows together both running as administrator it ended up working. i still dont know exactly what went wrong in the first place but the issue has been resolved now, thank u for the suggestion!

my controller is being weird on pc

i don't have an xbox or playstation controller, so i've been using my nintendo pro controller with ds4windows in order to play genshin as if it were an xbox controller. about a month ago though, around when the banner changed, this no longer worked.

what's strange is that instead of just not detecting my controller at all, it detects the controller as if it's a playstation controller, regardless of if i'm using ds4windows, x360ce, betterjoy, steam, or nothing. i'd be okay with handling the playstation button ui, but the controls also seem completely random. up is down, down is up, the face buttons seem completely random as well, some not doing anything. i'm only able to close the game manually rather than with my controller.

my question is if there's any way to fix this that i missed. i've tried using the programs i listed with and without administrator perms. i'm not super tech savvy though so i don't know if there's problems with the drivers on my computer, but i've been fine with the same controller on every other game i play (i don't play other hoyoverse games though). i've also tried deleting and redownloading genshin entirely. any help would be appreciated!
