[FAQ]Cause: Failed to avio_open (error=-13)

 

This error can occur as a false alarm, if Avast software is running. When the error appears, press Allow App, and the error disappears and oCam will continue working any problem.

 

If the pop-up window asking wheter to allow app does not appear

Click the + ALLOW APP button in Menu -> Settings -> Blocked and Allowed Apps and select oCam to add it.

If oCam is added to the list of allowed apps, you will be able to record without any problem.

 

or, you can turn off Ransomware Shield off instead as follows.

Either way should be fine.

[HOWTO]Setting up oCam - Sound

 

Learn about the settings that appear when you click the Sound category on the left when you click Tools-Options in the Ocam menu.

 
Only offers options for the current microphone settings, and you do not need to change these settings by default.

However, if the microphone is recording only from one speaker (when using the USB audio interface), you can change this option to fix the problem.

If you hear sound from the left speaker after recording the microphone, change the input source to "Input 1 (left channel)". If you only hear sound from the right speaker, change the input source to "Input 2 (right channel)".
