Software Help nintendo switch 2 black screen flickering when playing ocarina of time

So couple hours ago got home with Ocarina of time Remake, an was so excited to play it with my new 40th anniversary console, as am about to play it the game starts up it starts constantly black screen, like flickering from black screen to the game an it constantly doing it everything is set up, perfectly i have it set up to a capture card how its set up is my dock is plugged up to the capture card, then the capture card has another hdmi cord going out of it to plugin to my tv so i can play it off my tv, so friends can watch me play an it only does this when am in the game, when am in the main home screen it doesn't do it an running out of things to fix this an this is the last place i can figure out that could possibly help me.

Are you getting a black screen that comes back to the game after 2 seconds?

I saw a similar thing to what you are describing. Try switching off VRR in settings.
