Always heard XLR mic were better. Does the DX has or is equal to some features ofWave 3 MK 2 ?
i have this same problem at the moment
USB mics have come a long way in the last few years. Wave 3 has controls built into it and is meant to be more plug and play. XLR mic (such as the DX) will require you to also have either the wave XLR or the XLR PRO (or even the XLR Dock if you have the stream deck +)
The Wave Link 3 installation is not letting me change where the driver is installed to. I click OK when I select a diffrent folder, but nothing.
I'm planning to get the Wave XLR for it of course
for the discord issue with ver 7.3.0, you need to downgrade to ver 7.2.1
XLR mics like the DX don't have any features built into them; in this case all of the Wave features would come from the XLR interface instead. The better comparison would be between the Wave XLR + mic and the Wave:3
to my knowledge, there's feature parity there
Does anyone know if you can use wavelink pro with wave link mk.2 or the new wave mic?
XLR Pro is basically a bigger version of the Wave XLR, so you wouldn't really be using those two together regardless. As for the new Wave:3 mic, that runs over USB so you wouldn't be using it with their XLR products
Would the DX + new Wave XLR be the best then ?
I don't really want my keyboard to be heard either. But the Wave 3 Mk 2 still looks good for handling the keyboard sound, I guess
I'd argue that DX plus the new Wave XLR would be better, but there is a wrinkle in that the USB mics and the DX are different types of microphones (condenser vs dynamic) and each have their strengths and weaknesses
I don't think you'd be going wrong with either though
I already have a dynamic mic, so I guess I'll still go with DX but with a Wave XLR of course.
Is Voice Focus still free on Wave link 3 if I get a Wave XLR or DX ? Don't know witj which product it was included at first lol
yep! Voice Focus comes with the Wave XLR
still the case for Mk 2 ?
also the case for the Mk 2
any of the mics and interfaces that directly talk with a PC come with Voice Focus for free
thank you !

Do we already have a release date for Wave XLR MK 2 by any chance ? Or is it already available ?
I see Linux support has been mentioned to death.
I will say the new XLR PRO looks like a good patch job, pipe the host into a Windows vm, aux to your system output. Clunky, but workable.
giant stream deck goes crazy
already available!
Everything except is XLR PRO is available immediately
Awesome! Thanks guys
So will the power supplies for it :p
lol dang how much power will it use
SD+XL has honestly just absorbed all of my capacity for critical thought with the new hardware drop

like I just look at it and I think "damn that's big"
Might need a network dock mk2 to use PoE++ to run SD+XL and the inevitable 2-mic Wave backpack
If I order from Europe market website, any ideas on the approximate delivery time?
this is what I was thinking...
only #official-tech-support will know
Also, they need to add a Network Dock role imo, they have one for the green screen
full release of wave link 3 is crashing more frequently than the beta did... how joyous
Did you reinstall for stable 3?
Is it really ? I don’t know whether to upgrade from 2.0 I didn’t try beta
i didnt reinstall i installed from beta which installed stable to my knowledge (the lack of the bug report button suggests)
may have to reinstall and see if that helps
I'm wondering if a carried-over config is acting weird
i hope not its a nightmare setting up configs from scratch
and i had crashes quite often on beta, 4-5 times a day
Hmmmmm
but ive had 3.0 full installed for maybe 30 minutes now and im already on 6 crashes
. . . . How many audio devices show up? I'm wondering if it's not playing well with, say, Steam audio things or voicemeeter cables
im trying to setup my elgato footpedal to discord so i can mute, but it needs discord authorization, but nothing happens when i hit the request button
i have steam link audio and also some bluetooth headphones that are both inactive on my personal mix.
trying to see if i can back up my config before uninstalling but cant find a backup button anywhere
Do you have a web browser open?
yeah why?
Does Discord try to open in the browser for authentication?
no not at all
discord plugin broke with the stream deck update.. its a known issue being discussed in #marketplace
Ok I'm out of ideas
Oh.
bru
Unlucky i wish the new wave mic would have the headphone amp for studio headphones
or at least the wave xlr dock 😄
Are wave link settings stocked in Cloud or something if I change my computer ?
wave xlr pro headset support with line in?
just tried reinstalling myself. there are no backups or cloud saves. best bet is to try transferring over the settings folder
Oh alright, thank you for the info. They should do a cloud sync or something, would be easier
on 2.0 they had auto and manual backups. im annoyed that they stopped doing them for 3.0 especially with all the crashes ive been having
oh really ? So no method to save atm ? except looking for that specific settings folder ?
i have an elgato 4ks and the astro a50x im having problems getting obs to receive audio from my elgato any help would be nice
Anyone know or have a guess on how much the XLR Pro will cost?
$349.99 USD
no way to save other than copying that folder
Oh.. I hope it's in the works tho
Do any other apps get audio from your 4ks?
when i have the head phones on the dock it picks up audio fine
reinstalled 3.0 and its still crashing randomly. anyone know where the bug link is because going to the "send a ticket" page just prompts an order number
Does 3.0 really not have hotkey support?
is there anyway to get a backup from wave link 3 software?
SD+XL sold out already 😊
yikes...
Nvm, had to refresh page
Sorry. Are you upgrading? I want it but I don’t know if there’ll be a underneath the desk mount for it soon 😊
I am going too, but I think Wave XLR Pro would be before that...
I'm also in the process of a Dual PC build via parts waiting for NOVA chips to come out for desktops
You a console gamer too?
yes
Forgot the lights were off
Better lighting
So is stream deck XLR dock worth upgrading to ? And where to buy in Australia
No idea
I NEED that elgato sign... that and the pillow
I will buy the pillow if they ever put it on the darn website xD
which sign? 
I don't think they will... it's probably a 1 of a kind...
like the Elusive WAVE rug...

I was over here looking pretty and making my video...
I missed all this.

SMH...
At least my videos were rec...
Meld Studio for the Win!
So far it has taken me 4 hours to attempt to remove bad files from my PC from Wave Link 3.0. I have removed all of them, even the hidden files that jammed everything up.
Now I need to know why it was so hard to fix my Windows when uninstalled didn't seem to work?
thank you AI speeding my nightmare up 🙂 i will sleep well tonight
One day... one day I shall have one aha
The blue elgato insginia =]
good thing you seen that. lol
I think hit my caps lock while working in premiere xD
dont feel to bad. i do all the time. even mostly due to my cat
make sure you use MKV , even if OBS crashes your current file will be fine (unless you already are suppose aha)
always!!!

I just have the one YT sent me aha
awe nice!!!
Though i do need to redo my desk, just never have any time currently with recording, editing for clients and the little one being a year and half and learned to run about now lol
Who is here being jealous watching all these youtube videos of all the new elgato products?
time to edit in Da VInci
oh?

don't hate me...
I can never hate you
I MIGHT be able to buy it by the end of the week for the new one
Hello! Im new to the whole Elgato wave link software and was wondering if anyone could gety in a call and help me set it up...

which one you getting?
check out #1291136160676188172 or ask in #wave-audio for assitance on that
I'm editng as we speak..
Stream Deck Plus XL... I feel the part in the script of "this is for people that want more and instead of piecing together different pieces of hardware" felt like I was being attacked aha
The XLR Pro I'll get when it launches to replace my GOXLR
I also bought one...
I sadly don't currently have £329.99 xD
I want the plus but im eyeing the wave xlr pro too
OK that makes the stream deck plus xl a $440 in dollars... stupid vat system >.>
I split between to payment methods via paypal.
I do that when I know it's costly... I'll be doing the same for a prompter XL in the future.
I wonder why they didnt do a new wave dx mic hmm 🤔
I just have to remember how to set it up in wave 3 again, been comfy with the classic to long lol
not hard, but it's a learning curve at first.
yeah been watching some videos about it and sounds like there is a way to hear your voice when u adjust stuff now too.
See I WISH I could do that but cause my Paypal got converted to business to be able to do invoices years ago... am not allowed to do pay in three pfft... xD
Or more so business accounts aren't
I hope there is a video from Elgato comparing thwe Wace XLR Mk2 and Wave XLR Pro
those are two different products though why would they compare them?
Not so much "compare" maybe thats not the right word but more so one does one offer over the other, what can one do that one can't, as a consumer. I'd want to know which one I;'d want to go for, having it in a video format would be the most ideal way
they do have videos of them on there page on what they offer and right now the wave xlr pro cant even be bought
Well... I know it can't even be bought, and I know they have videos, both of which kinda say mostly the same thing about both barring a few little things here and there. However the XLR Pro feels more GOXLR which is what am after
I just think a video that basically would be "the best one for you" like there is a price difference so what does one get over the other. A deep dive would be really good for that =]
Was rewatching a little bit of the live stream from today. Can we get an F for James's banana
Rip
that would be cool!
I woudn't mind the comparison because it might help someone determine if they need a pro or not.

I have an F emote, but IDK if I'm allowed to post it. lol

I dont' feel bad if you went first. lol
second video... the same minus music for TT
5090 is a powerful thing...

Very long day at Midterm primaries, however @barren kettle just got my Shure215. The way you put them on is very interesting to say the least
hehe I learned a trick too it.
I guess I can make a video on it. lol
CONGRATS!!!!

They are also less bassy compared to my airpods. Or at least it less pronounced
are you using the foam vs the rubber?
foam
idk if the rubber might help in the bass dept. but never hurts to try. I like the foam, but tried both
It very well could be my audio settings and I need to readjust. I also have Dolby Atmos enabled on my system for spatial audio so maybe that's having an effect as well. Right now It's plugged directly into to my Wave:3 aux
oh yeah... that might be the culprit
have a great night! lots of exciting stuff tomorrow!!!

nite
I liked the announcements a lot
But I’m disappointed bc I wanna buy it all lmao
Decisions
Honestly fr probably gonna rock the stream deck+ with neo nd wave xlr combo for the next few years. Maybe next upgrade I’ll upgrade
Anybody knows of the XLR Dock mk2 got the Same headphone AMP as the ne Wave XLR mk2?
That would make me buy that easyyyy
I got the stream deck + xl today and found out it’s going to be here on Monday I thought it was a pre order lol
Yes they are the same in every way
Then there is a mistake on the Website 😄
Wave XLR Said Studio grade headphones
XLR Dock sth Like Most Gaming headphones
Only the XLR Pro wasn't released, you can sign up for a 72 hour exclusive slot to buy whenever they do drop sometime in Q2 ^^
If we are talking the xlr dock mk2 they can support studio headphones
Phil even said on the livestream that it can drive even 600 ohm headphones until they're painfully loud, so anything you throw at them will work
They have do Update the Product Page then lol 😄
what about Wave mic mk2?
Same AMP?
Note until I have the opportunity to look at pulse audio and pipe wire to fix the alsa driver that is almost certainly broken even basic audio support won’t work through this so don’t buy if u intend to use Linux on the side until I push the up date to the kernel
Quick Question, If i buy the Voice Focus for a friend how do they gain access to it or do i need to send them the money for it?
The licensekey is saved onto the account, so send money to them so they can buy it and activate it
thank you so much!!
Better pre amp like 15+ db more gain
Good noise floor
cant decide which produkt i want lol.
once ive got a wave mic and my dt990 was just too quiet
The hardware is capable of 96kh raw audio but the driver limits set to 48kh not like it matters ur not going to use it in 96 anyway
It should be fine can drive my sm7b
Do you know if i can use the stream deck plus with XLR DOCK without software?
Asking for my working laptop
Or is the wave xlr standalone better bc i still got some control
Just need basic things like working headphone and mic and volume control 😄
Yes will work as a basic audio device using alsa support built into windows
Mic gain and mute
The head phone volume is will be set by windows using ur volume keys like ur using speakers or normal headphones
It probably could be controlled head phone volume by the big knob but I normally set and forget my headphones volume
Yea i think with wave xlr it would be fine.
With the docking version for stream deck plus i would have to test that.
Have to think about it.
Currently on my roland bridge cast and i am happy but the stream deck plus would be nice 😄
Hello, I have recently seen a video about the plus XL from Phlox Nesspalier and wanted to check if it has Linux compatibility. I couldn't find anything on the website
No no official support for that and it’s not a simple undertaking
Darn, that sucks. Are there any plans for it?
Not currently no
There is a open source version that can run it but it has very limited functionality and is not made by Corsair
Okay, that's surprising with the number of folks moving to linux because of the Microsoft issues. I saw something about that driver on the Linux forums. I'll borrow a friend's and try it out. Thank you!
Yeah I would not be surprised if support came at some point I am a Linux developer and the driver stack is way simpler on most Linux distributions
the change so far has been 0.6% of userbase shift for gaming systems, so over 96% of all pc's are still on Windows and Mac
Ummm, that doesn't match the numbers I've seen. I've heard around 6-11% based on the qualifiers and groups serveys.
Linux support is slowed because the maintainers of pulse audio (this is the one that can support all the streams something necessary for what wave xlr does) and pulse audio are very lazy because we don’t get paid to push updates
My gaming rig will be moved to CachyOS or EndeavorOS, but streaming pc (where Elgato things will be most needed) will be windows 😛
That sucks, but is understandable.
Such is the world of open source
Part of the issue is also I have to buy the device to be able to develop for the device not like Elgato sending me stuff to ensure support of a driver that they’d rather not support their stuff works with it lol
Fair enough. I've had money stolen from a Microsoft data breach. So, I don't know if that's an option for me at the moment, but I'm excited for you!
😮
I was able to claw it back, but yeaaa. Not making that mistake again
🙁
I don't like windows updates even when they are functional, I don't like rebooting etc, and updates have been mostly broken for a year so I feel good about disabling Windows Updates outright 😛
it's not that, devteam is too small to be able to handle more currently
Ahh, I misunderstood what Goku Drip was saying
they have numerous apps and things to keep working and updating across 2 OS already
What I don’t understand why they said windows 10 support wasn’t possible they referenced an audio backend change this is just a straight misinformation and just not true. The asio waspi and wdm driver has been in the same from 2008 all audio use some form of this it’s part of the audio architecture, Windows so I don’t know why he said that, but form a security standpoint it makes sense
Understandable. I suppose I'm just disappointed. Was excited for the new product, but I can see how the juice could not be worth the squeeze to them.
Wave Link 3 was what they referencing, it's now built on the native framework inside Windows 11, which do not exist in Windows 10.
older versions and apps used the QT framework
It wouldn’t matter they still have to use the driver architecture otherwise they can’t get the driver sign for use on Windows at all. They have pretty strict requirement on what u can and cannot do. Source I’m an audio developer I make drivers
It wouldn’t be a driver complication, likely and issue with their proprietary software, but the part of the device has to fall within the native framework it’s a requirement that Microsoft enforces it’s the same thing for force feedback steering wheels It’s something legacy of that they made many years ago that they made everyone use regardless of whether they wanted to or not
Microsoft doesn’t play around with their legacy requirements so you may be able to plug it in and likely be able to get an audio from it but software just won’t Work
They could make it easier at any time don’t get it twisted. They can make an api and we could have an open source version by the end of the week. It’s because we have to reverse engineer the driver that things are slow on that front.
Regardless, they don’t want support Linux . I don’t have a problem with that but saying that it’s not possible it’s just preposterous.
No, but it would require an open source of their code, which would be the equivalent of saying hey everybody, Steal are hard work the streaming device market very competitive so keeping there code api. Close source . protect their ability to make money.
Understandable
Would a SD+ with XLR work on a USB switcher? I want to use it on two PC's (Seperate times obviously)
as long as the kvm has enough usb power to power the SD+ dock there is no issue with.
I use a kvm (usb only) to switch between pc and macbook and i have no issues
For what it’s worth Elgato aren’t impeding Linux support development for any of their hardware. Hence what’s happening in the capture card scene lately. But they’ve said many times they can’t dedicate resources to porting their softwares to Linux until the user based grows to justify it.
And as for wave link, they saw the end of support for win10 as an opportunity to start fresh and so wavelink 3 has been a complete rewrite using frameworks that only exist in win11. That includes the underpinnings of the UI, as well as something under the hood in the audio system functions.
But the audio hardware are all UVA so they work on any device that works with class compliant devices. As PS5 being an example.
Good shout, will go with a powered switcher. Thank you
Well my order is out for delivery so that answers that
So when it comes to the new Wave XLR Pro.
I obviously want that concidering I have a duel pc set up, but is there any way it can digitally integrate with the Wave XLR so that I can still have my giant knob for controlling my mic and headset volume, and the beautiful touch mute, even if those devices arnt plugged into it directly?
Im going to miss by big knob 🥺
I know Elgato doesn't impede 3rd parties from making software, but it would still be nice to have an official app so I don't have to rely on the boom and bust development from FOSS devs
No offense Foss devs, but still. Stream Con networking support please?
No windows has a standard API (introduced in windows vesta) for audio u must use or ur drivers won’t be certified (this is known is driver enforcement) there is audio APIs are called core windows audio api and must be using wasapi it’s part of the core audio service of windows
we're still not talking about the audio specifically about the framework change
Yeah, all mixing ect is part of wasapi the only thing that wouldn’t be is hot keys and vst
The User Interface wouldn't work on Windows 10.
That’s a design decision that needs to do with app base not a driver limit it likely would work fine wasapi is from windows 7 and has not changed in 11
User base to justify it.
As they said; that’s what they’re waiting for.
Sounds like you know better than the devs. Maybe go get a job at Elgato!
I do know I work on the pulse audio driver for Linux that is based off wasapis core concept I also work on the alsa driver that’s why I know how the api works
raises hand I use Linux, specifically debian
U cant get any audio device to work on windows without wasapi is a system service you have to go through it and Microsoft won’t certify it if u dont
I’m not the one you have to convince.
I’m still on win10
🦥
Ik, just putting "another Linux user" in the Discord
Also, huh. How's that working?
#feature-request is probably the better spot to send that info though. Make sure it gets to the right people instead of just fellow community folks
How is win10 working with wave link 3?
It’s not. As the dev team and (almost) everybody here says.
Because it’s not compatible.
I meant in general. Ik wl3 rebased wholly onto w11
Meanwhile Windows 12 is literally around the corner 
With even more AI and CoPilot 
Is it? Or is it just "11.2.34"?
Yippee, more microslop
Modern Windows Audio APIs
The Core Audio APIs were introduced in Windows Vista and are the foundation for audio in modern Windows applications. They offer low-latency access and fine-grained control over audio devices.
The primary Core Audio APIs include:
Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI): This is the main API for creating and managing audio streams to and from audio endpoint devices (like speakers and microphones). It supports both shared mode (where the audio engine mixes streams from multiple applications) and exclusive mode (where an application gets direct access to the audio device's buffer for the lowest latency, often used in pro-audio applications).
Multimedia Device (MMDevice) API: Clients use this API to enumerate the audio endpoint devices available on the system and access their properties.
EndpointVolume API: This is used to directly control the master volume levels of audio endpoint devices, primarily for applications using exclusive-mode streams.
DeviceTopology API: This low-level API allows developers to traverse and manage the internal physical components (subunits and connectors) within an audio adapter, such as volume controls, multiplexers, and other hardware-specific controls
Elgato didn’t reinvent the wheel the wave 3 is not compatible with Windows 10 simply because the software wave link is not not because it would not work
That’ll be optional given W12 will be “modular”
hey,
How can I make the 4K X work on Mac Mini M4?
By plugging it in. ask in #capture-cards if you need tech help.
If only I could swap copilot for Claude in windows.
Or just not have any of that….
I want Siri, local only, she's nice and keeps track of my schedules
Mmmm Claude
Siri for the most part is local it’s mostly a if then ai
Yeah to bad windows can’t even fix there code as it is when they control it god forbid they open it up and make more issues lol some one would probably run a llm then be like why windows run at 64 gb on desk top lol
"guys, we promise well make windows better this time 🤞"
every couple years
Don’t promise me a good time 😏
It’s like half there Apis will just be like yeah I just decided that I don’t want to talk anymore reboot please
Like the old mme api
Or ds
U want to scare ur audio devs elgato bring up mme lol
i wonder if the auto volume controller will work on the new SD+XL and how it'll look

at least yours retains the appointments. mine removes, or doesn't keep the data saved
Gmail google calendar, been working good for the past like 15 years or so
mine must hate me...

Hello everyone,
Having actually one question before I process it further to trying with Installing the WaveLink 3..
on which version number should be the full release? ( it is the 3.0.0.2388 or different/later one? bc that one won´t install my WaveLink/ Audiodrivers )
2388 was the full release
i wonder if elgato will release a streak deck + with scissor keys and threading for mountablility like the newer streamdecks
i thinks that my only gripe with the new sd keyboard and the new sd + xl
like no scissor keys i would have thought at least for the keyboard
Thanks for the quick response. hmm then I need to find out, why the logs telling me that the installation of the drivers keep canceled ( and I hear the error sound while a popup just open and closed on a blink second as it sounds something broken or at fault on my PC /setting /whatever when I just click on "Install Driver" ...)
also the Discord plugin is broken on 7.3
ask me how i know that

Basically wore those IEMs for a few hours last night and did some tweaking with my audio settings. They sound much better, especially after messing with the fit around my ear.
Hi, I just downloaded Wave Link 3 and I was wondering if the app can see multitrack from Audio interface. I have a Zoom F8n Pro and I want to bbe able to see my 8 inputs, is that possible?
OH what did you get actually (can't see the chats again) xD
Wave Link 3.0 supports up to 4 dedicated hardware input devices
Wave hardware. You can add more other hardware inputs.
Hi Vic, thanks for your response but it is not my question: my device can output 8 channels, and take 4 channels in, I want to be able to see those 8 inputs in Wave Link
I got the se215
Crest... should you not be sleeping 😛
Nice!
I'm pretty sure he's hooked up to an IV of coffee or something at this point.
I'd say ideal question for stream. I'm not sure as I dont' have your device to see if that's possible, but wave link 3.0 is out, so you could test it out. I only know the hardware info based off what's current, not by device.
I went to bed. Then I woke up. 
Does WL3 have an input channel limit?
up to 12 if Im not mistaken, 8 normal channels and 4 reserved for elgato products
is anyone a dj with a setup
i got up too. lol. some weird dream, but dont know what that is about o.O
Like I want 100% my mic sound in my headphone + 100% game sound in my ear, not 50/50?
Is that possible?
Can i use the new dock mk2 without a stream deck +? im planning to get the deck next month
has anyone got a amazing setup
No, you'd want to get a Wave XLR Mk2 if you don't have a stream deck to attach the XLR dock to.
Does the new Stream Deck + XL have a vesa mount on the back?
should we get rid of the old wavelink app since the new one requires a new download?
that's worked the best for me, also note you have to delete the old plugin and get the new one of that as well*
I can confirm no
I'd send images but it has a triangular bit in the back
Yes, getting rid of it before installing the new one is recommended to prevent breaking conflicts. The app should prompt you to remove it during install, but better safe than sorry just in case.
thanks folks ❤️
Is anyone a good streamer if so can i have a look at their setup
If I use elgato wave link to send my computer sound through my elgato 4k s to my streaming computer, is there a way to split the outputs and have like a mic soundtrack, music one and game one on obs, because I know that I can split on the wave link but idk if I can split while sending it on the elgato 4k
can we request that more apps be available in the wave link 3 software to be used as soucres? the bot I use (streamer .bot) isn't showing up in the lists under "create channel", and it controls my sfx, and for many other people, their entire systems
It populates that list from the same source as Windows Sound Mixer. If your app isn't showing up there, check if it has it's own configuration for audio outputs and point it at the Wave Link channel manually from it's own settings.
Why so many knobs on XL +?
Any ideas?
this 
Specifically four Wave devices. You can use the other 8 for Elgato capture cards if you wanted
Once you've combined them into one mix you can no longer split them apart. It'd be like trying to unmix paint colours. You may need to look into a different solution if you need to preserve multi channel audio on the streaming machine, instead of just sending it your ready mixed audio.
!dothewave :p
So you're saying I could spin up more PCs with their own Wave Link, and feed them into capture cards on the primary machine to achieve more overall inputs?
(I've been troubleshooting VMs all afternoon, don't mind me)
Tripple PC setup, 1 gaming, 1 streaming, 1 audio mixing ;3
the dream!
@white lotus I see you!

Wuwu
Vuvuzela? 
I have been needing help trying to connecnt Wave link to my stream deck it jsut keeps telling me To open wave link when its already open
If you updated to Wave Link 3, make sure you also udpated to the Wave Link 3 plugin - the old plugin won't work with 3. Likewise the 3 plugin won't work if you're still on 2. If your versions match and you're still having issues, ask over in #wave-audio
You're a good boy, Wave XLR Mk. 2:

Query
With windows driving more and more users away, and those users often moving to Linux, is there any chance the elgato software will come to Linux soon, like before windows 12
No plans for Linux support at this time.
Rip
I want to get the plus XL, but can't reasonably spend 350 on it if I might be moving to Linux myself when win 12 drops if it's anything like the rumors I have heard...
I, severely dislike apple
🙁
In my personal opinion, they are always overpriced and underpowered compared to the competition
Neo would like to have a word with you 
im using a mac rn
If im not having any issues with wavelink 2, is there a good reason to move over to wave 3?
I REALLY want to invest in the elgato eco system, and have to an extent, but dont know how much longer windows will be usable
Macbook Air M3, 16GB ram, no lag whatsoever even with this many tabs 😄
does anyone have a video of someone using the teleprompter
Oh, also, my 6+ grand pc is JUST built for gaming and streaming says no, lol
what cpu you rocking
Intel core ultra 9 285 K
niceeeeeee
tons of videos on youtube
May not be the MOST optimized for gaming, but we'll, I got more than games to run, lol
I dont, sorry
ok
96 gigs, ddr5 7000, 
definition overkill lmao
if you sold that you'd be rich hehehe
Lol, ye
Lol
but i got 64 so who am i to judge
My 4 machines are 32, 32, 16, 16
you must never have to turn the heat on if you have 4 pc's on lol
I've never used my heatingradiator in my apartment 😛
Someday I want to replace my 6 x 1080p monitors to 1440p ones for the other rigs
I'm rich in my GPU alone, kek
these are soooo old and produces tons of heat
cries in 8GB vram 3070Ti
i can never go back to 1080p gaming
1k to 2k was so clear to me. 2k to 4k isnt enough to justify IMO
i feel like 27 is too small for gaming, but id probably do 27 oled
I sit about 45cm away from em, or 1.5 feet if you're American, decent size for distance
wipes my tears with 32GB vram
Jesus 😮
RE requiem never looked so beautiful with full DLSS DLAA Path Tracing at 2K
Itd be so nice if we get more bands on the built in EQ on the new XLR Dock/Wave XLR
In what way? Like wide shot showing the prompter and the person?
wide shot
i want a video of someones video about us seeing them but them readung off the prompter
heya
hi
anyone having issues since updating wave 3 on voice chat audio
in wave audio now
so they have the stream deck module...... now they should do the stream deck + Module that has the touch screen and 6 knobs that we can integrate into stuff.
are the mk2 products already ready for shipping btw?
Soooo i should get mine within this week i guess :D? If ordered yesteday, yes?
Yeah i know could be next week as well but i am too thrilled ykyk :D
i need this so badly
Also thanks :)
Also since i got you here, is the member of the year/month a thingy where you are activly on the server btw?
Yeah and helpful in the community help channels
Aiiii gotcha, thanks again! kudos.

Is the $350 cost for the plusXL really real?
Yep
cheaper than buying a Stream Deck+ and a Stream Deck XL and yet get more buttons and dials ^^
actually no, brainfart, 4 buttons less, but 2 more dials ^^
and saving like 100 bucks
I'm over here with two Stream Deck+, one XL, and soon to be 3 15-keys
you can never have too many buttons and dials
You should buy the new plus XL and give me your normal XL then KEKW -i would love if the mark 2 dock would workin comp with the plus xl
Hehehee if I do manage to get one, I'll use the other products on my other PC's 😛
Nah nah you get me yours, be a good member xD
But for reals is there a GOOD reason why the new XLR Dock and the PlusXL wont work together?
Powerissue
it's an actual problem
the larger screens already use up the entire powerlimit given to it by the single USB
the XLR Dock would make it so it gets starved of power and constantly disconnect
So a dual usb setup wouldnt be a catch then like perhaps others do?
I saw the Streamer X (Rode) having a extra PSU Intake for USB to get it powered if needed.
And for lets say 170 bucks (same price as just the wave xlr) it got 4k60 capture on hdr and so on ykyk
not complaining but you get my take i guess?
they did say on stream they are evaluating a larger dock for the xl but no eta, and would be powered so no more issue then
Well i guess thats something then i can be pleased with so far.
Also you use the Wave 3 (and wave xlr i guess) right?
Elgato takes care of us users, they make exceptional products that I now can't live without 
What do you think about rode having aphex and does the new feature of elgato there on the dsp might give the same?
edit: i mean voicetune.
I use the XLR Dock on my Stream Deck+ with a Wave DX and the Wave Micarm Pro
I have no idea about RODE's lineup of products tbh
Aphex big bottom/aural exciter (you can read about it a bit if you like to great stuff for mics)
I've been having more issues with the official Wave Link release than the beta 🤨
Best case is you go for the community help section or open a ticket imo.
You can there state your issues :)
I think they're just random glitches tbh. It's early i suppose
I've just had a couple of weird things like random crashes but nothign major, just start the app again and solved xd
Or try a clean install again if it still happens imo, best case to get rid of all old filings
any way to save the settings or any idea where the config file is?
Nope
not even a .cfg in documents?
there's probably some file somewhere but no official backup/import option yet
thats weak
well that's disappointing. I think i'll just reboot and pray the knobs kick in. My setup is a bit on the complex side
and if you're having odd issues, might be good to get all files wiped anyhow to eliminate any potential issues in it
yeah, the fun stuff
Lemme lookie look
C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Elgato\WaveLink\Backup maybe :D?
autobackups for wavelink2 got there
yeah that's what it looks like
you might wont get rid of me btw - ya also got like desync issues on the voice line? (its own channel) Like i really miss the FX line ngl
Yes it's crashed on me several times. In fact enough times today that in the minute before i got here, i created a button in stream deck to open the application lol
I don't no?
yeah made a report bout it a few weeks ago (2), sadly still the same issue where its like 1-2 sec delayed (horrible for streams)
You guys were crazy helpful the other night…could anyone just help me make sure I have everything connected to my PS5 just right to see if audio and video show up in OBS please??
Dont you see it directly yourself :)? I would also suggest if you are having issues with OBS to go to the OBS support/dc directly
Well I think it’s all connected I just want someone to verify they can see audio and video
If not, that’s fine. Just thought I would ask
Id suggest you do a test stream or recording and reply it them, that would be the fastest and easiest way ;)
I though the standard xl had 32 buttons, while the plusxl has 36?
YES
Hence, why i sincerely HOPE they adopt Linux SOON =3
They shipping on the new XLR Dock MK2 is pushed out to April… I feel like I was quick to order and it showed an estimated ship date of March 3rd - March 7th now I’m reading an email that says April 21st
Needless to say I’m in need of a XLR Dock Gen 1 as I don’t have a XLR interface until then 🙁
Same for the Wave XLR mk2?
You are making me get worried lol
i want to make my review on it AND i CANT WAIT
I beleive so.. Unless you were some of the first orderes it looks like we will playing the waiting game
you went thru their site or amazon?
Does anyone use Wave link 3.0? I want to know if there is any cosmetic themese for the application. I did try to look on the marketplace but couldn't find anything.
Their Site
Anyone else have their streamdeck lose connection to discord through the plug in and when you head authroize access nothing happens
yes.
just now actually
I noticed it happened after my discord updated, i think the socket broke or something
couldnt figure it out so I just created a "deafen" button through wavelink with the streamdeck
Yeah i dont use wavelink, i gotta spend time learning that softare, ive been streaming on tiktok live studio so the audio stuff isn't as intuitive as it is in obs so they make it harder to integrate third party stuff
ah i gotchu. hopefully it figures itself out at some point
Yes, it's a know issue that came up that they're working on. For now you can backup your profiles and downgrade back to 7.2.1 . https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/43256392977297-Elgato-Stream-Deck-7-2-1-Release-Notes
Anything more than that you'll want to ask in #stream-deck

anyone else having issues trying to install wavelink 3.0? got the .msix file but it asks for an app to open it and not the installer
What version of Windows are you on?
windows 11
Oh, didn’t expect that
so i just updated to Wavelink 3.0... got a question... on the left side where you pick your channel... is there a way to rearrange the channels?
Hi.
Did anyone want to re structure my Stream Deck, and add cool things for me?
I have it pretty nicely customized, but I'm a noob.
Light and Dark theme right now
what does everyone think of the new wave link
You may need to look into repairing your Windows Installer Service if you can't open MSIX files. You can try restarting the AppX Deployment in the services management console (Press Windows Key + R and type services.msc in the box that comes up and press OK to get there) to start with. You might also be able to find errors from it trying to open in the Event Log. Beyond that it's a question for the #wave-audio channel.
On older builds of Windows 11 you might also need to get the "App Installer" from the Microsoft store, but it's integrated on newer builds.
i appreciate it. i got it figured out. will keep that in mind for next time
Ah, glad you managed to sort it out at least
how the heck do you setup wavelink 3.0 for obs? I cannot seem to get my game audio to come through now for stream to hear
I’d like to highlight my stream deck, save my life so I made a plugin that shows my heart rate on my deck as someone who has svt and has no symptoms I have to keep track of it I was in a high stress match in a game I look down and bam 182
@frozen edge thats nuts. Ever thought of quitting or changing playstyles? For health reasons?
I stopped playing PvP and competitive games in general many years ago because my heart goes insane, now I'm a casual boomer playing Valheim and World of Warcraft xD
anyone know why my streamdeck wont ask discord for access?
ive reinstalled like 30 times and nothing has worked yet
My wave xlr mk2 is supposed to come in today! So hyped for it
Have a Amazing Thor Thor Thorsday!!! ⚒️

whtas the best way to downgrade to 7.2? do i have to uninstall curent version?
Stream Deck Plus XL enroute ❤️
hey guys why should i buy the keylight air
Does anyone know if the wave xlr mk2 and wave xlr pro have any xlr quality difference? Is the gain just as clean for both? Same ability to deliver clean gain? I just use one xlr microphone and don't need the mixing and no two pc setup. All tech spec stats that matter are the same, so I can get the mk2 and all good? 😅 yes I am watching stream today
Exactly part of why I hope they do a straight up vs like video. I know I'll likely still go the pro as its kinda a one to one replacement for goxlr itself and it is SLICK as heck. But I think overall a side by side video and explanations of each could do wonders for consumers
I agree 👍 but the tech specs seem all the same so maybe I'll just try the mk2 first and see

The mk2 is purchasable now suppose. Though the pro looks so slick. I think from reading the articles it seems the pro has automatic ducking you can use and something else, but they do have the same chip it seems
Though I do like the idea of the pro being for the mic and the stream deck doing everything cause its kinda what I do now. My Stream deck plus controls my GOXLR audio lol
I barely use its sliders its in the corner while the stream deck plus does it all
VERY excited aha

hey guys why should i buy the wave 3 mic
if you need a new mic YES!
It does things
I think the wave mic is the only thing I wouldn't invest in, PURELY because I do have the shure sm7b there isn't much of a point. However I've heard nothing but good thigns for the wave mic range
OH it does seem it works even without a PC running or something I think and can be used with consoles too
Isn't the pro more for people with two computer setups? I don't think the Wave XLR mk2, can do that. What I get from the two products is the Wave XLR is for a single mic, computer, the pro is a mix for a basic podcast, interviews, but also two PC setup.
agreed.
I like the standalone mode
I would suggest the Wave XLR MK.2 and a SD+ XL combo to a single PC Setup, unless you're a podcaster, or Dual PC Setup. Then I'd suggest the Wave XLR Pro and SD+ XL.
I also like that Elgato done this https://www.elgato.com/uk/en/explorer/products/wave/goxlr-vs-wave-xlr-pro-what-you-need-to-know/

And it can have up to 5 actual indivudual mixes I think
I think... THINK the pro has more gain for mics than the mk2 but not 100% on that cause the articles are written a little odd
The comparison between goxlr and the XLR Pro say about max mic gain where the mk1 vs mk2 talks about its phantom power

I'd need to go with the pro as it can then connect to my steelseries DAC the way the goxlr can. I don't think (corrrect me of course) that the MK2 can actually do such a thing, cause there is no output from what I can see that is
can you not use the old version of wave link anymore? the new version reset all my settings, had a lot of issues and messed up a lot of my integrations. so I tried to download an old version, but it's just stuck at "connect compatible device"
I do have a old wave link downoload i can try to send to ya
Why is wavelink crashing like crazy?
Mine is arriving tomorrow ❤️
Really prompt actually. I wasn't expecting it til next wek
Anyone know when the stream deck plus xl and the XLR pro is releasing?
Make sure you uninstall both Wave Link 3, and the Wave Link 3 driver package before re-adding 2. Otherwise the Wave Link 3 drivers will interfere there, which is likely why it won't see the device.
If you already reinstalled 2, you'll need to make sure all three things are removed, WL3, WL3 drivers, and WL2, then reboot and reinstall Wave Link 2 to be sure you get a clean install
I guess it’s not available on Amazon yet
stream deck plus xl is already out, the xlr pro is Q2 of 2026
Will be elgato's main store first then slowly into other store fronts likely
UGH wish I could watch the dual pc setup stream but I’m at work
hahaha this keyword is like what happened in survivor, where they had a fake hidden idol and in a later season it returned and became a real hidden idol 🤣
I got a funny commercial idea based on a bit just done on the stream. A parody of "Free House for You, Jim!" from the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! but with Wave Link 3.0.

idk if this is the server to ask people that, but maybe see if they website for them might help you.
For backend systems like that you'd want to go through Support via the links in #official-tech-support
Good to know. I guess I miss it on checkout cause I use another way.
yerr, modest 5%
better than nothing.
also to @lavish hull it looks like you can back up configs via the settings.json file in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\packages\Elgato.WaveLink_g54w8ztgkx496\LocalState
Every other time I close a game or media application, it crashes. So I'm gonna try a fresh install and see if I get lucky saving my settings
i just do a comp game rarly now
Do you need developer?
How do i get headphone level control via Wave Link 3.0 on my SD
Like what output do I ideally want to be set for my day to day listening. I've got it as Headphones currently
Am I missing it? I figured there would be a channel for people to show custom plugins or cool shortcuts they came up with and share them...
I have a guy who’s trying to add me as ask for help from this server.
would recommend not adding and checking out #contact-moderators to let them know as it violates rule #4 and could be a potential scam

Can someone help me? I use Elgato Mobile and I can't request permission to ban on Discord. I click it, but the authorization prompt doesn't appear.
If you updated to Stream Deck 7.3 this is a known issue they're working on, but no immediate ETA. #stream-deck message

Tks
I still cant reconnect discord to my streamdeck, what happened?
the plugin isnt fixed yet
gotcha, just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one lol
i wonder if it has something to do with discord now being E2EE
there not the same mk2 is newer one with more stuff built into it
prolly be better to ask in #wave-audio for the other stuff though
is there something special that i forgot while installing Wave Link 3.0 because i dont have an installed app i only see the Driver and i can open the application but i cant find it and i cant put it on my desktop and it closes itself sometimes? 🙂
yes something like that it said that i need to install the driver if im searchin for wave link i can open it as usuall but its not in my installed apps categorie
whats the thing you had?
any microphone recs? either elgato or outside
I've had both the Wave DX (using a Wave XLR for the interface), and the Wave:3 USB mic before with good results. Is there anything in particular you're looking for for in a mic?
i currently use the steelseries alias
so anything that might like be better-
I mean if it works, no real need to upgrade. I haven't used the Alias myself - but are there any particular reasons you're looking to move away from it? That might give an idea what route to go with the mic
i was looking at the SM7B
it needs to be on a specific angle.
That is a classic - requires a XLR interface with some decent oomph though
i have the streamdeck + so the xlr dock will be a must buy :3
I think you could mount that alias on a mic arm to adjust it, with a mic arm too if the angle is the main issue
thing is, because the microphone is vertical, its awkward to place
but with the SM7B it can be placed anywhere
Oh, you're looking for one youc an talk into the smaller "top" intead of the face?
yep.
Wave DX fits that bill
i regret buying the damn alias mic.
ngl
praying the streamdeck + xl will have a goxlr dock
-# eventually
It would be itneresting. If not there's always the Wave XLR Pro when it comes out - could mount that under a desk even and still control it from the XL
isn't the XLR pro for dual set up?
whys it so expensive?
Because it has full mixing capability compared to some of the other setups, including hardware DSP
i dunno what that means 🔥
Bascially there's built in processing so it has more electronics and features than some of the other hardware.
ohhh
Hey, dudes. In wave link 2.0, you could adjust buffer size. I can't manage to find this option in Wave Link 3.0? Where should I be looking for it.
I don't think that's available in 3.0 - but if you ask over in #wave-audio some of the other voluneteers and users might know if I'm incorrect on that.
Where can I post a question I have about WaveLInk 3.0?
#wave-audio is the spot for most of them
Thank you
my hd60x has never worked its brand new and it dosent even light up but it detects it in the elgato app and says no signal
Did you disable the HDCP ?
what is that
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a digital copy protection developed by Intel that encrypts digital audio and video signals sent over HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI, ensuring only authorized, compliant devices can display copyrighted content. It prevents unauthorized copying by requiring a secure "handshake" between sources (streaming boxes, Blu-ray players) and displays.
how do i disable it
xbox or ps5 ?
ps5
go to Settings > System > HDMI and toggle "Enable HDCP" to Off
i cut it off and still no signal
To fix no video on an Elgato HD60X after disabling HDCP, ensure the USB-C cable is connected directly to a USB 3.0/3.1 port, not a hub. Update firmware via Elgato Capture Device Utility and set EDID to "Display" in 4K Capture Utility. Also, disable VRR and HDR on your console.
still nothing
the light isnt even on but it says its ready
ive tried it before when i first bought it but i put it away because it wasnt working and now im trying it again and still nothing i think they sent me a faulty capture card
and i dont know if my warranty is up or not so im prolly cooked paid 130 for no reason
Just to check, how long did you have the card? Warranty is 2 years.
Beyond that this conversation should be in the #capture-cards community help channel
Support though #official-tech-support may also still be able to help - you're just not eligible for warranty replacement if it's actually expired
My first lot of Wave Next shipments are out for delivery 👀
Hi! I downloaded elgato studio but i cant change the bright in this program. I see someone can change it with the program game capture, but i cant find it, any idea?
I want to roll back Wavelink. Where can I get it? 3.0 I can't use it anymore.
Apparently my Stream Deck Plus XL is already on it's way 0.0 though UPS won't freaking update aha xD
@barren kettle soon! xD
aight! gotcha.
My MK2 came btw :P


Ah btw is it fr that you cant seperate a a vst from the entire chain monitoring?
Clarifying your question:
are you referring to the toggles in WL2 that effects could be independent turn on/off per monitor mix and stream mix?
Yes, correct. In Wave 3 i can lets say put a Compressor onto my Game for the Streammix but this also then affects my personal outputline. This is pretty annoying.
Yeah that seems to have been left out,
Send a #feature-request right to the devs!
This is a fully new app with all new code so, just growing pains, I imagine. But do let them know you want it.
I think that’s actually a less popular feature so they need to be told
Do we know what amp is in the XLR Pro for headphones?
For headphones not mics
Or is it the same thing
Only reason I ask, I have the SD+ with XLR Dock PLUS an ATOM AMP+ for my DT 990s
Without the Atom Amp its too quiet
I'm a full-stack AI engineer with 10 years of experience.
I look forward to building something unique together.
All the wave mk2 devices have the same upgraded components (compared to the mk1)
That doesn't answer my question
They have said on all the streams that they are happily driving 600ohm headphones with them
Which stream?
Running DT880 600ohms right now, had to put a Preamp in the middle (physical), but with my 250ohms it works great
TGIF YAYYY!! Have a amazing Super Fryyaya! 🎉

Hello I was just wondering I just made a order but how long is the average shipping time just curious
depends on region.
maybe a few days, but standard usually 7-10 business days for most mail.
I order mine 3/3 and it arrives tomorrow
so fairly quick I'd say
Okay thank you for the help your like the first person that had been helpful when asking about ordering detail when I order stuff
#official-tech-support can always let you know about your order. I'm only going over my experience. 🙂
I do love the new SD+XL, but since it's not compatible for the dock and the XLR Pro's gonna be more expensive with it, and I'm planning to get only one PC, I'll just stick with regular SD+ with XLR Dock MK2. I already have SDXL so I should be fine.
awesome!!!

OK, I have a question for you guys. It might sound dumb but I just need a reminder.
I want to get the new Elgato stuff.
Ok?
But I only have two USBC ports because I'm gonna use one for the Xenon Edge.
Will I be able to use my USB extension that has USB, C ports?
"Possibly" is the best we can say, it will depend on if the hub is powered and the quality of it
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
It's not recommended to use hubs with Elgato products
whats the Recommend requirement and is it possible I can get longer USBC cable and it'll work just fine?
for USB 2.0 speeds, the longest a USB-C cable can be is 4 meters, but it's not recommended to go beyond 3 meters
for USB 3 speeds, max is 2 meters
Also, you could just get a USB-A -> C cable for the regular Stream Decks
USB-A goes into the PC while the C port goes into Stream Deck
So can I do that with the? Plus XLR and. XLRMK 2.
I thought max was 5 meters
🙂
There's also a difference between regular USB and C
C is just a connector. Doesn’t say anything about what speed or power it’s wired for
So I found out I have 3 usb c gen 3.2 One is already occupied with. Elgato 4K camera.
I use hubs with all my Elgato stuff.
Actually, not the capture card.
But various stream decks, wave xlr. Etc
But some have caused problems when users have poor quality ones. So yeah
I’m in agreement
Because I'm a graphic designer and I really want to make use of that. XLR, stream deck plus. Along with. Getting MK. XLR. But I'm also planning on getting a xenon edge. I have a really good computer.
Buuuuut, there's no guarantee it'll work, so that's why Elgato doesn't recommend or advise hubs
I mean, to be fair, I'm using USB hubs for my. Current stream decks.
For my plus and normal.
Nothing unordinary is happening. It's been like that for almost a year.
I'm using hubs for everything else, not my Stream Decks xD
I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use a. USB hub for it.
I have a big ass desk that doesn't stretch far. With cable So I just got a USB hub.
Yeah if it has external power and is rated better than required speeds… it “should” be fine.
All my decks are on hubs. Actually the one I use on Mac isn’t even a powered hub.
So yeah, it can work fine.
But the more stuff that’s on it, the more external power is important.
Powered hubs usually work, but so many people use 1 USB-A port to like 5 and then wonder why stuff ain't working
-# hubs are the best
If anything, I'm planning on having one stream deck. I'm gonna give the other two to my good friend. Or maybe keep it. Because the plan is to get a XLR. And a stream deck plus XL And a xenon edge.
So realistically, it's just gonna be one deck instead of two.
Because Xenon Edge will serve that purpose for me.
Xeneon Edge with Virtual Stream Deck 
Exactly. So I feel like I'm be using less power consumption because I won't be using. A stream deck XLR anymore? Along with a basic stream deck. I will just be getting a normal XLR doc mk That has the volume knob. And use Stream Deck Plus XL. And Xenon edge.
Even though I have 1000 wat power supply
The XLR Dock MK2 can use 900mA power at max, so you will likely need beefier USB port than the usual 500mA ports there is
Powersupplies only draw the required power thats needed, doesn't matter if it's a 650W or a 1600W powersupply if your computer is only using 400W
Yeah Power supply in your computer has nothing to do with current draw by your usb devices.

any rec ?
Uhh we probably don't have the same brands in our countries, but Anker and Ugreen should be available anywhere
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I have the ELGATO Low Profile Mic Arm and i have the ShureSM7B - Anyone who has this combo tell me how they fixed the "sag"
I did see something a week ago about a "screw" they used via reddit
my stream deck plus xl has entered the UPS system ❤️
Ultimate Power Station? ;3
I actually have an anker desktop power thing that powers mine
The Anker Prime 250W
hehehe
aha xD UPS the delivery company though my pc is into a UPS so I never lose editing work xD
But yeah Anker Prime 250W first slot sends to the USB dock on back of the stream deck plus which then sends to the stream deck mk1 and the stream deck XL
Yo dawg I herd yo liek UPS, so we bought a UPS shipped through UPS so yo can UPS while yo UPS
xD
😄
You ever used an uninterrupted power supply 😛 I've got CyberPower BR1200ELCD-UK BRICs Series, our electricity is normally fine, its just a JUST INCASE and I never want to lose a clients work progress aha
I've been wanting one but poor 😛
Until Elgato or Corsair makes one I probably can't justify it haha, so many things I still want 😛
Guys how I can add the airpods into a new mix? I am trying to add an screenshoot but it looks I can't to add it here to make the question clear 🙁
You can post images in #wave-audio which is also where those questions should go 🙂
Thank you @lavish hull I will ask it there then! 🙂

Did I receive a reviewer device? Stream Deck+ XL arrived with seals broken and inner fitting damaged 🥲
Sounds weird, ask #official-tech-support
👍 created a support ticket on the website.
Good good 
I know all the seals have been paper for years, and they can be quite fragile and break, but the inner fitting being damaged sounds odd
I am too xD but I;'ve had it for a long while now and can't be losing client work progress aha xD
Looks like this issue is a thing with first products arriving. There is also a thread on Reddit about products with broken seals and damaged packaging

I'll keep an eye out for mine to see if this happens tomorrow.
That's the Reddit thread please?
installed wave 3.0 and my stream deck+ remains black with just the elgato logo across the touch screen. I have uninstalled and re installed both softwares. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot?
✅
here. where can i find the buttons background i saw here?
the "green" and "white" frames
I have a question for the people here I ordered a stream deck + but the XLr thing that I ordered with it isn’t compatible can I stop the order on just that item since it’s on back order
contact #official-tech-support
Forgive me I made a mistake I was looking at the wrong product I ordered the regular stream deck and the +xl is actually the largest one i was confused so sorry about that guys
quick question if i ever get a SD+ (the normal one not the XL (that would be way too many buttons) can i run the deck thru a USB3 Type C to type A adapter cuz my pc doesnt have any usbc ports
SD+ originally shipped with a Type C to Type A cable, so you're fine.
I'd try to use a native cable and not an adapter if you can though
Can anyone tell me how long the XLr mk2 will be on back order I ordered one but I can’t see how long the back order on it says
also if the deck came with a C to C cable can i just use the C to A cable that came with my MK 2 and use the C to C cable thru an adapter to my MK 2?
Please
Anyone know when the new products drop for us Australians?
Well I looked all over #official-tech-support and I couldn’t find said details thanks for no help guy
I mean, make a ticket so you get in contact with staff that is in charge of stock and such
since this is a communityhelp discord, we're users like you
Okay but saying it with a backhanded smile because you think your being helpful comes off rude
hi everyone i am the elgato king
good for you
Dam, If I was looking to get the Streamdeck XL & XLR Pro, I'm looking at $1000 AUD...
Was looking at replacing my GoXLR
Just saying, the device itself is amazing and looks unused. Maybe it’s an issue with their packaging/seals and the weight of the product.
has anyone seen a fix for nvidea broadcast giving a "unable to register virtual audio device" after installing the new wave link software
Am doing the same, though the XLR Pro won't be out until like April May ish
Found it really funny that on my default profile on the stream deck+ XL has a rick roll sound clip 🤣
Fair play Elgato haha
lol does it? 
I have over 600 samples on my regular Stream Deck XL, and that isn't one of them 
Might probably sell my Stream Deck XL now as I probably don't need it
Due to the new one
I mean, you can never have too many Stream Decks and buttons
you can only have too few 😉
True. Might come in handy with both to not having to scroll
Can have hotkeys of the game on my original XL
I use my 15-keys for game macros :3
I have no idea where my original MK1 15 key one is haha
It will probably turn up when I am looking for something else
also, my OG Stream Deck MK1 has a bunch of different profiles, one of them making it a numpad, and have it placed on the right side of my mouse 🙂
Oooo haven't thought of that, that would be cool
Had to pick it up to make the image better xd
I should get some putty to make removing dust easier
i think elgato missed the mark with the new stream deck XL being that it only has 36 key .... look at it like this the mini has 6 key and priced for about 60 bux ok not bad then there is the stream deck 15-key version adding 9 keys from the mini priced around 150 again not bad then there is the 32-key version and adds more then double keys priced around 250 bux getting a bit expansive but understandable fast forward to the stream deck XL that has 6 dials a screen and 36 keys thats just 4 keys more then the 32-key version and at the price its a hard sale it would make more sense if it had 10 keys or more at least for the price point elgato wants to sell it at and i understand its a premium product and the stream decks do a great job at what they do but i would of rather seen more buttons then dials and while the screen is sorta cool its a not needed this is just my two cents on the product and were all allowed to have thoughts and opinions
so for chat mix, for my microphone, do i want that turned to 100% and then just mess with the audio settings directly in the application I am using...like if I am in discord channel, alter the settings in discord or in a game, change the volume settings in there.....
Hello. Since i upgraded to Wave Link 3 , the app is crashing a lot. Wave Link 2 hardly ever crashed for a long time, but with WL3 the crashing is quite a lot. Anyone else noticing that ?? Is it still Beta ?
Not in beta but they definitely have some things to fix
Anyone else notice how the level of a channel affects how much volume is going into plugins on that channel? Which is obviously a huge problem for dynamics plugins if you want to ever change the volume of the channel. Changing the mix level is fine but just a concern
Oh really, the input faders are pre-effects?
Yeah, that's not right. Especially since there is not currently any linking of mix faders across each channel, so that's the only way to adjust all mixes on a channel as a group.
wehtres the stream schedule
On the frontpage of the Elgato website 🙂
It’s priced fine imo. Also I don’t think I’d want a 50 button stream deck. This is a happy medium of everything. Dials, screen and buttons.
Imagine Stream Deck XL which is about 250, then imagine Stream Deck+ which is 200, now that's 450 bucks together, Stream Deck+XL is only 350 so you're SAVING 100 bucks 😄
It's frankly a GOOD deal
and also more dials
ALOT of people wanted the stream deck plus with more dials, more dials are good. There is also literally all the others if you want more buttons 😛
The new stream deck I have been testing today and it is amazing 😊😊
just order my xl + and really hoping I'm going to be able to do some cool things with the dials.
would be awesome for the audio controller and discord volume adjusters to work with the dials
does anyones wavelink 3.0 bug out, stop working, when you wake up pc? i have to exit and restart it to make it work again
i think 2.0 had the same problem but they fixed it
was there a elgaot stream today
Nope
ty
🌪️
I love wavelink 3.0 its so simple
Good rains here this morning.
They very much do =]
I run pretty much all my audio control via the dials currently (though it is taking it from the goxlr but I barely touch that its the plus that does everything)
I just wanted faders on an elgato product, kinda dissapointed they didn't
I get dials are more compact and same fuction but faders are just so cool lol
I bless the rains down in Aaaaaafricaaaa 🎶
Toto is such a good band
Love that song!
Pretty after slight surgery!!!
😻
Your mouse cries, it's like "IT'S CRAMPED! ;____; "
My setup isn't much better in terms of space 😛
but atleast I can move my mouse somewhat hahah
LEEKS
No, not a leek. I would be in VERY BIG TROUBLE if I leaked anything I was working on, or worked on prior to Embargo. I take NDA’S very SERIOUSLY!
For real it’s stream deck+ i added back in case I didn’t finish my setup in moving everything to the SD+XL
buttons buttons buttons
thats a SNUG fit... I actually have no idea where mine is going lol ...
my xeneon edge sits behind my stream decks aha
Is anyone else having issues with wave link just closing itself, I can't seem to fix the issue and it keeps happening
I actually moved it to the far left so I have more functionality this way
i canrt download wave 3.0
App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package Elgato.WaveLink_3.0.0.2388_x64__g54w8ztgkx496 to filesystem. (0x80073d13)
i have windows 11
anyone knows why????
And how bad is the rats nest of cables?
I really need to cable manage some cables behind my pc
actually not bad since I only changed out 1 device. 🙂
That's apparently a file system type error. What format is your main drive? NTFS or something else like exFAT or even the older FAT32?
ciao
Not really sure I think NTFS let me check
How do I check that ? I think I remember changing some thing like that , I don’t remember where tho
🎉 I figure it so out it’s a ntfs
Is that the problem ?
Wave link 3.0 file type is MSIX you think that’s the problem ?
Sorry if you're still having issues with it, the convo shoud move over to #wave-audio not the general chat. But if the drive you're trying to install the app to is NTFS and you're still getting that error you might also want to open a ticket with support through the link in #official-tech-support
hey guys, is the wave XLR dock mk2 worth upgrading to ? and if so where to get it in australia, id love for an admin to let me know
There is no ETA for any other regions, it's up to your local shops to order them, like PB Tech
Not sure how good they are, just googled elgato australia heh
But yeah, the MK2 Dock offers the Wave FX chip which will allow you to have Onboard effects without adding any latency, and also the VST Insert and Direct Monitoring toggles, alongside better and stronger amp
So if you want or need any of those features, I'd say go for it
I do want the XLR Pro instead when it releases, but that's because I run several systems so it would be better for me
Hey guys i got a suggestion
what if there was one app which could control all of your devices
also what if there was a motor in your green screens so with a click of a button (on a stream deck) it could pop out
Is the Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 gonna be on Amazon?
Just need the fancy Corsair keyboard to finish up the top line products 🙂
Yeah my currently stream deck plus sits to the left as its used alot while editing so am not taking my hand off the mouse
reminds me I need to redo my cabling cause I switched out the cable channels and never got round to redoing them that and I need to redo my mouse area etc lol... now am torn of if I redo it and add the new shuelf area I'll be getting the XLR Pro and will need redone... again lol
I might not get the galleon since the SD+XL meets all my stream deck needs.
Elgato cards remove the PS3 HDCP protection?
Or do I need to buy an HDMI splitter for that too?
They don’t. They have the things they have in place to prevent piracy.
Elgato Wave Link 3.0.0 (2388) changelogs
Fixed a crash after waking from sleep
mmmmhhhhmmm
SURE.
but the galleon is soooo nice, i am loving mine for more than just the SD
I’m getting a wireless and a kvm switch for it
Why are you recording livestreams? Like your own?
they have so much in wave link now, i would love to see them add a popper stopper, how do i get this across so they can see it ?
I didn't realize it was already out, lol.
is the 2388 update cooked or something?
i had a previous version and it worked great but now my wavelink is like dying
It’s a beast!!!
Hell yeah.
why would u guys release stream deck + xl before wave xlr pro? 🙂
They are separate products - there's people getting the Stream Deck+ XL withouth Wave XLR Pro, so why wait if one of them is ready now?
That's just my guess of course
Though it woudl have been nice to have them both at the same time, it at least isn't the other way around 🙂
yeah I only have the stream deck xl from elgato and rode caster pro 2 as a mixer and I really want to try the new elgato app so I need xlr input I was going to buy the xlr dock but it's not compatible with Stream Deck + XL
yeah xD
Yeah, hopefully it'll be out earlier Q2 instead of later then. I'd like to get my hands on one myself.
Seeing yall talk about the wave xlr, I should look into that
just saw a wave xlr mk 2 which is has the same features of the wave xlr pro but not 2 headphones and 2 xlr input or 2 PCs which ill never use as a solo xD ill probably buy the xlr mk 2
Sounds good - I've got the Mk.1 myself, it's been solid for a couple years now. Am debating if I can sell it for the upgrade athough - I do like onboard DSP options.
does anyone know where eles i can get Purple Dials Set in au?
Can someone direct me to where I need to drop feedback for improving Wave Link 3.0?
#feature-request generally
#official-tech-support if you're hitting something that's broken
(both of these are locked channels but have links in them to go to where you need to go)
Tried the wave XLR MK 2 yesterday as well as the stream deck + XL. Both of them are amazing. The ability for the gain to be set automatically once you say a sentence for 5 seconds will save me loads of time. The onboard effects on the XLR MK2 are amazing too
anybody know why eq presets and such wont register or something? it wont show up on EQ profiles, even after downloading and open in wave link
Hi, anyone know if the Wave XLR Mk.2 is already available in Germany ? I see that it is on the Elgato Website, and you can technically buy it, but I wonder where it gets shipped from if i order it in Germany. Does it also come from the US or is there a warehouse it comes from in Europe / Germany when I order it here, and how long can it take to ship right npw ? Since they were so smart and remove the previous Wave XLR, which i could have gotten quick.
ordered and shipped in one day from warehouse in Germany with UPS.
I am from UK. I ordered the stream deck + XL on Tuesday, Wave XLR MK 2 on Wednesday, both came on Friday. Mine shipped from Netherlands so yours will be shipped from same warehouse I think.
Sigh.... My box arrived damaged and the stream deck plus XL seals are completely broken. Must of been sent someone's review unit :/ time to contact elgato
According to reddit, seems most peoples seals are broken, but they're made of paper so.. not exactly durable
Unit seems actually fine and untouched so I suspect UPS treated it like a basketball as the box was completely busted that it was in
anyone have a fix or having this issue? upgraded to wave link 3.0 and now my pc wont sleep. says wave link is using my mic at all times. on wave link 2.0 if i had my audio routed to my speakers it would trigger the same thing but if i switched audio to headphones it would shut the mic icon off (mic still worked) but my pc would be able to sleep.
there is no linux upport right?

Tune in to the LIVE today from Elgato!!! They are going to have some awesome stuff to share!!! I'll be lurking cause I have to work, but I hope to see Y'all there!!
Correct. A lot of the hardware might work on Linux, especially things like the UVC based USB capture cards, but there's no official support or official apps. There are some community projects for some of it, but nothing official from Elgato.
Glasgow had a pretty insane night last night. If there is anyone from there hope you're ok. That fire was the most insane I've seen in my life being so close
FIRE?! WHERE?
Building right next to Glasgow central went on fire, and then it kept going, 15 fire trucks were basically there till around midnight trying to get it under control and stop it getting to Glasgow Central
did they say anything on stream about all those problems people are reporting on reddit?
Mostly to make sure you report them to support as well. While they're looking at the reddit a proper ticket gives them a way to reach out and get more info or logs if needed.
So if you have issues open a ticket through the link in #official-tech-support - either the phone line link in there to call it in, or the link to the help system where the chat bot can open a ticket for you
can anybody help me, tell me why wave link 2 is not working properly anymore after installing/deinstalling wave link 3?
Installing 3 will result in issues with 2's drivers. You need to make sure 3 and the Wave Link 3 driver pack are removed then reinstall 2 for best results. Ideally reboot between removing it and adding it back
You can back up your Wave Link 2 settings if you haven't already before removing it
i have backups but im also confused why that usb thing is there. did it came with wave3?
It's you're seeing the eject USB for your mic since updating, yes, send to have been a change with the new drivers in 3
If you're talking about the one in my screenshot that's actually fit the SD card reader on my USB dock
i unistalled all of wave i have, and i could reinstall it now right?
and is there a newer download or do i download wave2 from the old setup?
i reinstalled the old one and it works perfect like before thx arcsane
Glad to hear it!
I just updated to the new elgato software and now it wont allow my monitor to go to sleep, ill exit the program and the monitor will then go to sleep
any ideas how to fix this?
It would be great to have multiple mixes that can be saved. For instance if Im playing VR i need a certain setup, if I am recording a yt video, I need a different setup. This is considering my day to day mix already uses 5 outputs and 7 channels
I just updated and regret it already i cant control my mixes in the stream deck or in the wave app all i can control is the master volume to my headphones anyone know how i can fix this
