So I've been recording a Sega Saturn game through my Framemeister's RGB port which is hooked up to an HDMI splitter that splits the connection to my TV and to my Game Capture HD 60. Recently I've been getting a constant high pitched buzzing noise throughout the recording (mostly notable in silent scenes). It didn't do that before. You can hear the noise on the TV, but only if you turn the speaker volume way up, but in the recording software you can hear it at normal listening volume (so it got amplified by something). I've tested out my NES and Sega Saturn (2 different SCART cables), and I've replaced the SCART converter cable, yet the noise is still there. When I connect my PS3/PS4 into the Framemeister via the HDMI port, however, I DONT get any audio noise. Swapping HDMI cables and using different splitter ports didn't fix the problem either. The only thing I can think of is that the RGB connection on my Framemeister got damaged somehow, which means I would have to buy ANOTHER Framemeister. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it so I don't have to replace my Framemeister (which might not even solve the issue)? Thanks!
Could you try running the Saturn and/or the Nes through the composite connections and see if you still get the noise there? If you do, I think we can rule out damage to the Framemeister because the composite and rgb in ports are separate from each other, AFAIK.
No buzzing noise with the composite cables (well, unless I crank up the volume really high in my recording software). So far it looks like it's just my RGB input that's messed up.
The buzzing noise is a fault with the Saturn when using RGB. All my Saturn's have done this since 1995 and is the main reason why I want to do a digital audio mod. Buying quality RGB cables can help reduce the buzz also try turning down the Framemister's internal volume. You may have it set too high.
The thing is though, I didn't have this problem before. I've been recording for months on my Saturn and getting zero buzzing noise. I'll try the Framemeister internal volume thing and see if that works.
I fiddled with the Framemeister volume input, and I can more or less eliminate the buzzing sound, but the hissing is still there (there was no hissing before either in my earlier recordings). Better than nothing I guess.
