Expected Behavior

Clean separation of "Blackmagic Device" video and "Audio Input Capture" audio from the same physical unit.

Current Behavior

Audio is not being recorded or streamed. Monitoring and VU bumpers are working.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add Blackmagic Device
  2. Mute and hide video Device in mixer
  3. Add Audio Input Capture, select Blackmagic Device
  4. Enjoy separate audio and video source to place in scenes where one or the other is needed
  5. Recording and streaming does not work. Monitoring of audio input capture is working. VU meters are bumping.

Anything else we should know?

This works as expected with Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Mini, example content stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2851989412?t=0h18m49s (expiring link) It does not work with Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder 12G, example content stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2856648693?t=0h27m49s (expiring link)

Using the audio supplied with the Blackmagic Device combined audio/video source works as intended but impractical as some scenes are video only and now the audio device is present and bumping where it shouldn't if using the combined audio/video source.
