I've been asked what the audio capture is like on the almost-too-good-to-be-true £10 USB HDMI capture card(s) I bought recently. In all honesty, I never tested the audio as I was only interested in the video capture element for my own purposes. But I promised I'd do a follow-up video when i got the chance.

I've been tied up with university assignments the past few days (and this entire weekend just gone), so I apologise that I couldn't get around to it straightaway, but I hope it's better late than never, and useful.

TL:DW; It worked fine for me, but only recorded the audio in mono.
