Avermedia - Gl310 Driver |link|
The AVerMedia GL310 (often branded as the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable or LGP Lite) is a popular capture card because it is highly portable and often doesn’t require a driver install for basic operation.
However, if you are looking for the driver to unlock specific features or to ensure stability, here is a helpful breakdown of what you need to know.
Source 2: AVerMedia’s Legacy Driver Archive
For older operating systems (Windows 7 or 8), AVerMedia maintains legacy drivers. As of 2025-2026, the final stable driver version for the GL310 is typically v1.0.0.24 (or newer if updated). Ensure you download the version matching your OS (Windows 10/11 64-bit is standard). avermedia gl310 driver
2. The "Right" Driver: RECentral 4
The GL310 does not use a standalone "driver" file that you download separately. Instead, the drivers are packaged inside the RECentral software suite.
Do not use the old "RECentral 3" or "RECentral 2" installers. They are outdated and often cause the "No Signal" bug on Windows 10/11. The AVerMedia GL310 (often branded as the AVerMedia
How to install correctly:
- Go to the AVerMedia Support page (or search "AVerMedia GL310 Support").
- Navigate to the Download tab.
- Download RECentral 4 (this is the current standard).
- Run the installer. Important: If Windows asks for permission to install device software during the process, click Install/Yes. This is the actual driver being loaded.
- Restart your PC after installation.
Part 8: The Future – Is the GL310 Obsolete?
As of 2026, the GL310 is nearly a decade old. While the driver still works on modern Windows, two limitations are worth noting: Go to the AVerMedia Support page (or search
- No 4K or HDR support. It maxes at 1080p60.
- No USB 3.0 or USB-C. It uses legacy USB 2.0, which introduces ~100ms of latency.
If your driver issues persist despite following this guide, it may be time to upgrade. However, for retro gaming (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U) or as a secondary capture card, a properly driven GL310 remains a reliable, low-cost workhorse.
Final Driver Checklist:
- ✅ Downloaded from AVerMedia official site.
- ✅ Installed as Administrator.
- ✅ Using correct USB 2.0 cable and port.
- ✅ Device Manager shows no errors.
- ✅ OBS audio mode set to “Output desktop audio.”
Q1: Do I need the driver if I only use PC-Free mode (standalone SD card recording)?
Technically, no. The GL310 can record to an SD card without a PC driver. However, you need the driver to update the firmware (which fixes SD card compatibility issues with Class 10 and UHS-1 cards). Also, if the SD card fails, you’ll need the PC driver to use the device in PC mode as a backup.
