    I'm posting this here rather than in the support section as it isn't really an issue with the game.

    I just had a go in the Uno at Ibarra
    which was a fantastic experience, it is really refreshing to see cars like this added to AMS what with the onslaught of GT cars in most racing games. I was giddy with excitment as I cranked the engine in the little Uno and it didnt disappoint once on track, what an engaging experience!
    and tried to record a replay with Fraps (and shadowplay afterwards.) No matter what I try there is no sound in the recorded video. I have tried disabling all other devices in windows, changing Fraps audio from stereo to multichannel and changing AMS config audio device from 4 speaker to stereo but each time there is no audio in my recorded video file. I have made plenty of videos in another racing game with no issue.

    Any suggestions how to fix this issue?

    Thanks :)

    So when I export the video/audio in replay mode I can hear audio. I use a soundcard (Xonar) and wondered if that was the issue. I tried switching to TV audio through HDMI and still no sound in recordings. I found a thread over at RD which suggested changing the recording devices in Windows, that didnt work either. Im completely stumped by this :confused:

    Tbh, we suggest using third party software such as AMD/Nvidia/Open Broadcasting Software solutions to export videos.

    Thank you for the reply :)

    To be honest, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean to record/capture a video with third party software or there is some software that can "export" a video in a different way? I have tried to capture/record a video with both Nvidia shadowplay and Fraps software but with both of those I have no audio in the recording. Using all the same settings I have audio when I capture AC footage for example. I hear audio just fine when I am racing in AMS and when I watch the replay, also when I export a replay using the built in exporter thing. It is only in the recordings I make with third party software that I have no audio at all.

    I have tried changing all audio options I can find in AMS, Windows and Fraps but with no success.

    Well, I've managed to get audio in recordings by changing Fraps & Windows audio settings. I had to turn off record windows sound and turn on record external sound in Fraps and change my Windows recording device.

    The new problem is it sounds strange :D

    Does anyone know what might cause this?
    (I use Asus Xonar sound card and have 4.1 speaker system.)
