[FAQ]When you start recording, Error message appears Failed to initialize sound library. Check the Windows Audio service is running.

Check the sound playback on your PC first.
You may get this error if you try to record on a PC that is unable to play sound.

If you try to record from a PC that can't play sound,

Click the Sound button in the Ocam main window.


A pop-up menu will appear and the system sound recording is checked, but it should look like the following.



Additional tips

[FAQ]The sound becomes loud or torn when playing back the recorded video on the daum pot player

Go to Daum Pod Player Settings (After launching Daum Pod Player, press F5 on your keyboard, or right-click to enter preferences.)

Go to Sound-Normalizer / Reverberation on the left as shown below and check Uncheck Normalizer when playing.

 

* For reference, normalize means to set the sound to 0db (dbFS). For example, an algorithm that amplifies the sound volume by 0db when the sound being played is -20db is called normalization. This makes the sound louder, and at this point, you may hear a sound that is torn apart.


(The db used here is dbFS, not decibels.)
