BlackMagic audio driver not working
 

When I install the V1.5 drivers and I restart the computer I can no longer get the audio to work when playing videos or even music.
When I go to the device manager and disable the "Blackmagic Intensity" audio driver they all work again. If I enable it again the audio stops working.

Any idea what this could be?

the black magic card is an audio interface. its possible that its been accidentally set to the default windows audio device. should be able to change that in the control panel.. somewhere :x

Blackmagic cards - both HD-SDI and HDMI Intensity - are known to make themself a default audio card after install.

Simply go to your PC's audio properties and re-assign your own audio card as default audio playback interface.

Just tried it out... I could not get a cineform preset project to pass the footage over to an external monitor thru the Black Magic HDMI port...

But, when I used the Blackmagic preset in the project the timeline footage did come out of the HDMI port and the timeline was display'd fine on the external monitor ( I used a Optima projector as the external monitor)

We have yet add the Decklink line to our list of support output cards. We have only setup Intensity as a capture source through CineForm HDLink, included with all NEO, Aspect and Prospect HD/2K products. We don't yet have a good visibility on how many CineForm customers own Intensity cards, we are likely to add direct support in the future.

I own Intensity, and I love how Cineform Aspect HD captures live HDMI video on the fly!

Just last night I did a greenscreen work, and the matte quality seemed to be better than before (before being the firewire way.)

Thats good news David... one item that I thought was nice when I was testing the external monitor was that the Black Magic capture program also
has a "playback" function besides the "capture" function...

This has an added benefit in that you can capture the footage and then replay the footage to the external monitor without having to open the editor and load all of the scenes just to preview....

That option would be very nice in the HDlink...

Ray, output through Intensity within HDLink will happen before direct integration for our Premiere Tools. I'm happy to here that you can use that feature.

So im assuming Cineform will integrate Intensity Pro support for both capture and output through component and HDMI directly in Premiere soon?

When will that aprox happen? Thanx!

Do not assume, we have many many projects on our schedule, that feature is only one of them. No annoucements on delivery schedule.

I'm very frustrated with this card.
I've re-installed the card drivers many times and it just won't capture.
I got it to work only once at the begining but when I made the intensity not the default audio card it stopped working and I haven't been able to make it work again even after I reinstalled it and let it be the default card again. There is no way to get this thing to capture anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Call Blackmagic support?

I found them to be responsive and knowledgeable.

So much for Intensity in the colonies!
 

Just back from Mediatech, our local bi-annual trade show (broadcasting, video, audio etc). Interesting thing is that I went to the company "apparently" representing Blackmagic (or one of the Blackmagic products) --- and they had not heard of the Intensity card.
Good choice of representatives, there, Blackmagic!
I would have bought one on the spot.
Ah, well, perhaps better luck in 2 years' time.
Also noticeable by their absence was Adobe and, for that matter, Cineform.
And meanwhile the HV20's keep flying off the shelves here --- the entire South Africa seems to have gone HV20 (and HDV generally).

Intensity shows as Discontinued at B&H today.

Looks like Intensity Pro will be the only option?

We have definitely not discontinued Intensity.
