Hi everyone, I recently started getting set up to record my 2DS so I could make some videos. I have the video capture all set up, but I just can't figure out how to do the audio.
I have an audio adapter(a Hama klinkenadapter) plugged in to my 2DS and a 3.5mm 4-pole aux(both sides male) connected from that to the jack on my laptop. I'm using a Dell XPS 13, so there's only one audio jack, which is a combination headphone-and-mic port.
The laptop absolutely refuses to recognize the plugged-in cords as anything but headphones. I've tried every combination of cord I could think of, including using a regular 3-pole aux. I've tried with both OBS and Audacity. The computer has no problem recording input from a gaming headset, so I don't think the jack is broken. All forum posts I can find on here and elsewhere are for people using a PC with multiple audio jacks for specific types of input, so I haven't been able to get help elsewhere. I have access to an old IMac, but I feel like I'd have the same issues.
I've been trying all sorts of methods for days, so I'm sort of at my wit's end, haha. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Any help would be so, so appreciated.
(I wanted to include links to the cords I'm using but I can't since I'm a new user. I can describe them in more detail if that helps.)
