Audio capture and NDI audio embedding (v2 beta)

circle-info

Audio capture and NDI audio embedding are BETA (v2) features. They are not available in the 1.6x stable release.

Nobe Display can embed audio into the NDI stream by capturing system or per-app output audio.

Enable Audio for NDI

  1. Make sure your NDI license is active.

  2. Open Nobe Display > Settings > NDI.

  3. In the Audio section, enable Include system audio in NDI stream.

  4. Choose Audio Source: System Wide or App Audio.

Audio Source options:

  • System Wide captures the default system output mix.

  • App Audio captures only a specific app (default preset is DaVinci Resolve).

Audio Source Options

System Wide

Captures whatever is routed to the system's default output device. This is the most reliable option if per-app capture is unavailable or silent.

App Audio (Per‑Process)

Captures audio only from the target process.

  • Windows: Use the process name (example: Resolve.exe).

  • macOS: Use the app bundle ID (example: com.blackmagic-design.DaVinciResolve).

If the target app spawns multiple processes, you may need to target a different process name if audio is not detected.

OS Requirements

Windows

System-wide audio capture requires Windows 10 or later.

Per-app audio capture requires Windows 10 build 20348 or later. On older builds, Nobe Display falls back to System Wide capture.

macOS

System audio capture requires macOS 14.2 or later (Core Audio process taps).

Audio capture also requires Screen & System Audio Recording permission. If audio is silent, open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording, enable Nobe Display, and restart the app.

Troubleshooting

  • If audio meters are not moving, confirm the target app is playing audio and switch to System Wide to verify capture works.

  • If per-app capture is silent on Windows, check the OS build and try using the exact process name.

  • If you use exclusive audio modes (ASIO, exclusive WASAPI), switch to the system output device and try again.

  • If the audio still doesn’t appear, restart Nobe Display and the target app.
