# Audio Support

{% hint style="info" %}
Audio capture and NDI audio embedding are **BETA (v2)** features. They are not available in the 1.6x stable release.
{% endhint %}

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.
