I use Epoccam on my phone (iPhone 6S) and it connects to my computer over wifi, however half the time i want to use it i have to disconnect both my phone AND computer from the internet and reconnect both to get it working, not good when using the internet on said computer to stream/video call
any solutions?
Ok, so it's just HDMI from the PS4 Pro into HD60 Pro and then HDMI out to the TV. Sounds normal enough. Then I wouldn't expect the GoXLR to be in the mix here.
If you're used to hearing the audio from your HD60 Pro, you probably just need to go into Advanced Audio Properties and then use the monitor functionality to have Streamlabs OBS send audio from the HD60 Pro to your audio device of choice.
Our Game Capture HD and 4K Capture Utility software automatically playback the audio on your speakers or headphones. This needs to be specifically setup in OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS.
That's my best guess based on the information provided.
If you connected the video output of your computer to the capture card, that will happen.
Are you wanting to capture a device like a console or your PC?
pc
If you're on Wave:3. you just press the button in to switch to the 2nd LED and then rotate the knob all the way to the right.
Yea. So whats happening is that to a PC/Mac, the capture card looks like an HDMI Monitor.
So you'll either want to go into Windows Display Settings and duplicate your main display to this new 'ghost' monitor which is actually the Elgato device.
Or connect the monitor to the HDMI OUT of the capture card and use it in a passthrough configuration. In this configuration, the capture card is intercepting the video feed and sending a copy out to your monitor.
''So you'll either want to go into Windows Display Settings and duplicate your main display to this new 'ghost' monitor which is actually the Elgato device. '' I think ill do this
Are you able to use it over USB as a workaround?
hey ive got an issue i realized
when im duplicating, my fps get capped on 60
so when i use it and play games will it always cap on 60?
Which model of Elgato did you pick up?
Is your main monitor high refreshrate like 120, 144hz?
165hz
HD60 S+ and many of our devices support up to 60hz. You can imagine them as 1080p 60hz or sometimes 4K 60hz monitors internally. That's how your computer sees them. As a result if you duplicate your main monitor to the capture card, Windows will default to sending a 60hz signal to both. Since that's what it thinks is best.
In many cases, you can just go into your Nvidia control panel and manually try setting the refreshrate back up to 120, 144hz, or in your case, 165hz. Very often Windows10 will accept it and send two different signals out to your monitor and capture card.
If you're using two PC's, this is also a really good workaround: http://ltroyalshrimp.com/streaming-with-a-dual-pc-setup-the-obs-method/
oof i dont, but youre saying i can use the video card, have 165hz with no cons?
But our 4K60 Pro natively supports 1080p 240hz and 1440p 144hz. So it's usually what we direct people to.
I'm saying.... it cannnn work. Though a recent Windows 10 update called the 2004 update does help with this setup a bit. Windows traditionally since many years ago tries to keep all the displays similar in refreshrate. And even would update all monitors at the lowest refreshrate.
2004 changes this so they all update at the highest. This makes cloning/duplicating with capture cards much better.
With all that said, if you're using just one PC and wanting to do PC capture, a capture card doesn't really bring much benefit in terms of performance.. Since the PC is doing all the work anyways. Dual PC is advised since you can move all of the processing of the recording and stream to a dedicated system.
yeah i just couldnt get the fps that i wanted when recording before so i tried this
though could you tell me how i do the nvidia control panel ting?
where i manually increase refresh rates
Are they currently cloned together? But yes that's where it would be.
yeah they are
anways i think thats all right
thank you for being smart and helpful
Also I guess you DM'd me on reddit earlier. just saw it now.
wait......
t h a t w a s y o u ?
i found a random reddit thread from two or three years ago, didnt understand tried dming em, then i just searched elgato discord server and came here
thats a funny coincidence
Well I work in Support. And I helped out on the subreddit. 
:)

If anybody knows, I'm attempting to get this Epoccam up and running, but the only thing that's not showing up is the audio. I'm trying SO hard to get the audio to kick in.
hey, is there any way to transfer stream-deck settings from one computer to another? I just got a new computer but don't want to have to remake all the buttons
Reminder: We have phone and email support all through the holidays.
http://e.lga.to/phone - Open for another hour.
Most of the normal staff are taking time off, but support is open still.
does the pass through of the hd60s plus allows to play in 4k60 on the pc’s monitor? I want to play in 4K using my old iMac’s screen
RTX 3080 NVENC seems to have issues. Streaming via OBS I just get continuous audio cut outs/stutters - any ideas, please? please tag me if you guys have any idea...
I dosent speak englich
hey! I'm trying to use the streamdeck mini right, is there a way for it to save an OBS replay
heroz im having the same problem
I just fixed it.
how did you do it
I had to go into my actual Nintendo switch's settings
and for some reason
The default screen size
is 96%
not 100%
:/
So I fixed it by making it 100%
What's your problem?
damn...
question. can my capture card stream ps5?
yo it just says my thing has no signal and its plugged in, any reason why?
When I lock my PC and then unlock it, the streamdeck program freezes for a bit and also the streamdeck itself stays on the wallpaper
I have a new 4k60Pro but I don’t know how to get me to work and trust me I tried
just wondering @ruby schooner cause I got my ps5 today and planning to stream it next week.
@brittle musk i have no idea i just set up my own and i have no idea about a ps
guys if im using the elgato hd 60 s + on my ps5 there is no audio at all. can somebody maybe help?
will to pay 20 bucks if somone can help me with my elgato
Hey there, got problem with camlink, sometimes camera in obs just blackscreening for the second and than going back to normal (few days before everything was normal)
Is it possible for me to screen share my Chromebook (Most recent model) to my PS4 with elgato? I’m trying to just screen share, I don’t really care about how good it looks. If so, how? I’m willing to jailbreak if I need to, though I need this info so I know whether or not I need to return the device.
Hey can someone help me with something? i have the CORSAIR virtuoso wireless headphones and when I turn them off or when they turn off themselves, it doesn't automatically link up to the wave link software so I have to do it manually. Is there a way that it can do it automatically?
We don't currently offer a mac compatible capture card which can send 4K 60fps to the computer. Also we always 100% recommend playing on a TV/Monitor using the HDMI passthrough port.
hey somobody french can come for explain mee why i can't connect my stream deck to discord
Hey can anyone help with my situation plz
the download page on the elgato website isnt working. is there somewhere else i can get the app for windows?
I have a question so I have an older computer right now but it works like a charm. The problem is it doesn’t have a USB port 3.0 I was wondering if I would be able to buy a 3.0 port adapter if my elgato would work.?
does anyone know why a hd60 pro would be slowly desyncing the sound
as time goes on in the audio becomes more delayed
eventually the audio just cuts out as well
So I was previously using GV-USB2 for capturing my retro console and it was a composite output, now I switched to component and use the HD 60 to record
the issue I'm experiencing is that the bitrate quality is bad
not horrible or anything but it looks noticeably worse than my GV-USB2
I don't know why the video quality looks bad, the quality is very clean when sent to my monitor
So if I get a 3.0 to USB-C Converter will it work? @cunning latch @cosmic vine
No, it needs to be plugged in directly
Hi, when my elgato HD60s+ says that the device is in use by another software, does that have to do with my monitor not working?
Ping me if u know
Post your computer's specifications.
let me check. I don't exactly have every product spec memorized. I want to say no though because it's a really old architecture.
It's for the HD 60 correct?
Yeah, it's a no go. Your processor just won't cut it. https://gyazo.com/5bbe9ec3001af75636d26c233ff35e10
and it doesn't support USB 3.0 which is a technical requirement.
@cosmic vine Ok appreciate it I’ll just grab a new pc what would you recommend like a decent cheap pc for now until I get my gaming pc
If your short on budget I recommend building one if you can. Cases are cheap and you can find low cost parts and upgrade when you get funds. If you live in the barracks I would recommend a laptop that you can lock up.
what's your budget, I can look around for you.
Um just prob less then 250 if possible for now
I can get you half of a processor
How much am I looking at for a cheap computer that will run it
I'll take a look at some budget laptops, but it's not going to be 250
Ok
This would be the absolute minimum and I wouldn't recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Processor-Graphics-81W0003QUS/dp/B0862269YP/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ryzen+5+laptop&qid=1608948164&s=pc&sr=1-3
Which PC to get is a complicated answer. But if you have a tight budget, maybe look at refurbished PCs. That's usually where I point people to if they're not someone who usually builds their own system and can't buy something brand new.
You can get some great value on computers from 2015-2017 which were old office computer stock. Amazon Renewed has a pretty good directory of options to look at.
But for best value I usually direct to desktops vs laptops. Laptops have power budgets and where you'll find lower power processors which don't hold up as well under longer periods of video recording.
That said, Ryzen on laptops is quite good.
I might as well make a pc at that point
Huh
So what are the key components I need to run it
Like what do I absolutely need
Here is something to help. This PC was built as someone elses budget PC. Keep in mind you can slowly buy parts as you can afford it as well. You also don't need the best graphics card to have a good gaming experience. I have an old computer running the exact 1050 TI and it runs most games on high settings still. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sngtkX
Thanks
Thankyou
So if I do buy a refurbished pc or a pc from someone else what should I be looking for sorry I’m not crazy smart with pc specs and all of that
5 years in 2d MAW myself VMAQ-3 Aviation Electrician
You are looking for an i5 that has 4 or more cores or Ryzen 5 pcu. All of those builds will have at least 1 usb 3.0 (it's blue). For gaming you want at least an RTX 1050. For a used build you can get that for about 300 or less
If they try to sell you a refurbished dell in a compact case run away!!!! They don't have any USB 3.0 ports and are corporate refurb specials.
Lmao
Ok I’ll come to you if I find something appreciate the help and Nice I was an 0351 With 3/2 Lima Just finished Jump school with Marsoc
I’m an 0372 Now
Awesome! I forget my MOS, but the prowlers don't exist anymore so I doubt my MOS does
actually I think it was 6333
Oh, one more thing. If you are looking in New Bern, stay away from i Fix it.
Wym
ya boy is really losin it over this delay thing, i havent changed anything and i got into contact with the support team but its just bugging me cause i havent done anything to cause the problem, no software updates, no installations of weird programs, it just stopped overnight
Sorry I missed you. What do you have again and what is the problem exactly?
I was stationed in cherry point and there was a shop in New Bern called iFix it. They did some shady things to get computers technically working. They also ripped marines off by counterfeiting graphics cards and selling them cheap.
the hd60 pro with audio desync issues, the audio is fine when it plays through the game capture software but then when i switch to the edit tab its super delayed and sometimes the sound just cuts out
like this
notice how the shot/kill didnt go off till i was in the building? then the audio breaks
are you using other software like xsplit and obs?
nope
purely just recording gameplay with the game capture for clips and stuff like that
dont even record mic audio
does it do the same when you record 30 fps or just 60 fps?
have tried it yet, ill switch it to 30 fps and send u another streamable clip
my stream deck mini shows the 15 slots even though i have the mini what do i do?
someone help
just let me know if the problem is there or not
would i just have to uncheck the allow 60 fps box
my stream deck mini shows the 15 slots even though i have the mini what do i do?
I think so
ok ill check now
Does the stream deck mini show in devices?
no
what does your stream deck currently look like?
it shows the symbol and its blinking
Does it have the elgato welcome icon or is it all blank
Ok try this
Ok, Try this
1.) Open your device manager.
2.) Find the usb device that says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) "
3.) Right click on it, and uninstall the device.
4.) Unplug the Stream Deck, and plug it back in.
so it doesnt seem to be delayed on 30fps @cosmic vine
it doesnt say unknown usb device
That is at least good news! you can try to change the audio track speed to 99.7% or just run it at 30 fps. Basically your processor has trouble encoding at that pace which is common. Try to run it at that speed and tweek if necessary
Ok, what does it say?
@cosmic vine Oh really? Yea I’m at Pendleton
it only says usb input device
We’re getting sent to Lejeune pretty soon tho
I figured 😛
both bases are awesome!
well sadly i have to record at 60fps or the editing looks bad, also i have an i7-7700k so is it supposed to be struggling?
Hole*
Ok, go ahead and uninstall it and continue the steps please.
i cant find the one to uninstall
You can always try to restart your computer and plug it in once the software is open.
Ahhh 29 palms, it sounds like paradise... until you realize that it's just literal hell
It's common. That's how I got the 99.7
how would i change the speed of the track if its being recorded through the game capture program
The 99.7 was based off of a rig running your processor with a 1080 Ti
You'll need video editing software. There are some great free versions. I currently use Hitfilms Express
so theres no way to prevent the audio delay at 60fps in the first place? cause it happens when i use flashback recording as well not just regular recording
I'm sorry, if there was I wouldn't know it. If you have a ticket in you can wait for an actual employee to help you.
alright well thanks for the help and merry christmas
Right back at you!
If boot camp was there instead we would have some real bad a** marines. Could you even imagine?
Yea soldiers now a days are snowflakes they don’t get the same training as we did back then
I was the last unit where the drill instructors could beat the ever living mind out of you and every thing be perfectly normal.
To file a support ticket please visit http://e.lga.to/help
Are you sure that there is no USB devices in device manager that says "Device Descriptor Request Failed"?
ya im in there
where can i find the fail
It should be under Universal serial bus controllers
But could be anywhere. Look for any device that has an error such as that
I can't I'm actually getting ready for some personal time with the wife
I would recommend opening a ticket if no one else can help.
or you could simply unplug and plug it in again and see if something changed. who knows, it's xmas
and 2020
and the planets literally aligned, stranger things have happened this week
hey i bought a greenscreen but when i put it in adobe there is spots in the side

Hey there, so I have a 1440p 144hz monitor, and I just got a 4k60s+
I’m not able to pass through higher than 1080p60
I tried to change the resolution in the nvidia control panel, and even attempted to force custom resolution
But I cant get it to work
Never mind, I found that I can change EDID settings within the 4K capture utility, and set the input EDID to internal, and then set the internal EDID to 1440p
new problem: cant get it to display in OBS
hello can i get some help with my wave 3 plz
so playing around in the 4k capture utility software,
by setting the EDID mode to internal and 1440p, I can passthrough 1440p144, howeer, it comes up as a black screen in the 4k capture utility, and doesn't display in OBS.
If I use the merged EDID mode, it displays in OBS in 1080p, but only allows my monitor to be 1080p as well
question: so i have my HD60 S+ set up to record from my nintendo switch, but when i hit record, i receive an error message stating that my nvidia geforce might be being used by other software, and as such i can't record. I saw an older video saying that something was going wrong with a different version of nvidia, but i dont think this is related.
Hey there, got problem with camlink, sometimes camera in obs just blackscreening for the second and than going back to normal (few days before everything was normal)

@lilac dagger what's the issue with your mic?
I’m having this issue where my Key Light Air keeps disappearing from all of the apps, with them saying that it it’s not connected (when I connect to same internet). Sometimes it’s overnight, other times it’s within 30 minutes or less. I end up having to reset it EVERY time. What exactly keeps going on?
So, Honestly I've been spending about 5 hours with my Elgato HD60 S (PC PS4), and i am unable to resolve this and its becoming and issue of time. I am legit willing to pay someone to 1 on 1 assist me with this issue.
im still having the same issue with mine'
this is like
really annoying at this point
@subtle blaze the video issue?
yeah every time i start to record i just receive an error message
I have a Wave 3 mic and I am trying to set it up for Twitch through the Wave Link program, and I am having some trouble setting it up, I looked at a few guides and videos from Harris Heller and I am still very confused. I could not set it up through OBS corrects and now I do not know what to do. Ive been sitting for 2 hours trying to set it up. If anyone can help me I would be grateful. Thank you so much (generally more help on navigating the program, I dont think I know what Im doing)
@lilac dagger can you take screenshots of what your wave link and your obs channels?
Is the 4k60s+ encoder locked?
Did you respond to me?
What do you mean by that?
Sorry. I was asking my own question. Yours sounds like a pickle
Whatever that means.
@lilac dagger the mixer that shows your different audio channels
Are you using a headset?
yes
Im using a headset, its USB sadly
So where it says monitor mix, you'll want to change that to whatever your headset is.
You need to add channels to your wave link such as game, system, browser. Then open your windows settings and make sure your default is set to wave link for your output and mic in wave for your input.
You can open up your windows settings by using the 3 lines next to the cog at the upper right.
ok @dense cradle i was able to solve the problem just by changing my video encoder from nvidia to intel
and it still looks fine so im glad i worked it out
that is the headset
that was the part I had trouble setting up
So is it working now?
Yeah it has been but Do I really need to setup the inputs? Or can I live without them?
I have a question to ask, so my wave 3 mic is amazing, I love everything about it, but with every mic I've used in my life, they would always pick up my smoke detector that makes a beep every couple of minutes, any mic I have would pick it up, so I was wondering, do you think buying headphones and plugging it to the wave 3 would help remove that smoke detector beep?
I heard that if you put headsets/headphones into the switch while you're recording on the elgato, it won't hear any audio or something like that. what If I plug the HD60 S into the switch and pc for recording, then I use my wave 3 with a headset connected to the wave 3, would it work normally If I did that
so If the headset works perfectly with my switch elgato pc setup, and my wave 3, what brand of headphones should I get?
@lilac dagger you don't have to but that's kind of the whole point of buying one. The software helps you control what you hear in your headset and what your stream hears from individual sources. Are you not streaming?
@inner spruce I've never heard that and I don't see why headphones would have any effect on what your mic pics up. You can try and adjust the gain and see if that helps. Or recently what I've done is run my mic through NVIDIA broadcast and used their nose suppression to block out background noise.
I adjusted the gain
I still get the smoke detector beep
NVIDIA broadcast, I haven't tried, I might try it in the morning
Hey Elgato Community,
I have a huge problem and hope for for your support. :(
I just got my Elgato HD 60S+ and want to capture my PS5 on my Mac with the Elgato Game Capture Software.
In the preview I can see the Gameplay.
But when I record, I get six different data pieces afterwards with the video/MP4 being over 5 hours long, but I only recorded a minute or so. And it is completely black without the game or sound.
What can I do?
Greetings from Germany
Hello! I hope you are good.
I have a question for a long time, I only speak Spanish and it has cost me a lot of work to find this Discord xD
My doubt:
I have a 4k60 Pro Mk.2 but when I want to pass the signal from my xbox one x 1080 at 120hz, the 4k Capture Utility application flickers without allowing me to capture.
I hope someone can help me. Cheers!
hi, I've just switched on my streamdeck mini this morning, and it's flickering and not loading into a profile?
Does nobody have an idea?
I got it for Chrismas so
Hi everyone! I've got two issues with my Wave Link software combined with my Wave 3 microphone:
-
Since a week, each time i boot up the computer all the audio categories are gone from the software and i have to re-add each one manually
-
With some games, even though i had them set, i couldn't hear audio until i switched them to another profile and switched them back another time. It used to happen only on Final Fantasy XIV but now i'm experiencing this also with Genshin Impact.
Thanks in advance to whoever is gonna help me ❤️
How do I save a capture on elgato HD60 s+
All I did was press the stop recording button and it saved something, but then I do it again it doesn't work
Would the application for the Elgato HD60 S work on my Linux computer? I got it for Christmas, but forgot to check if it was compatible for my computer before putting it on my wishlist.
can i have are halp my stream deck is not so godt
has anyone gotten any help? i been asking for over a week
My wife treated me a sexy streamdeck for christmas, already been busy setting up a coupla different scenes. Is there any way i can automatically switch between them randomly every X seconds?
@grand raft Please take note, this is community support. The discord is not an Official support location. If you need Official Support please create a ticket at http://e.lga.to/help
I have found the "random action" button, but ideally I'd want a way to have it pressed randomly and automatically, non-stop....until I disable it 🙂
@robust storm the only thing i can think of is a multi action with a bunch of random actions
but it wouldn't be non-stop i think.
Hm, is there any tricky work around maybe? e.g. triggering one of the streamdeck buttons from outside
understandable but would you know why audio for a hd60s dont pass threw on dual pc ? like when i click sounds it like the el gato no register on my gaming pc in device manager it just says el gato but doesnt have the el gato hd60s option
on the gaming machine there should be a sound option to send to the elgato think it should be under playback devices. Are you using elgato sound capture on the gaming pc to split the source?
Hey, for Christmas I’ve got a HD60s+ and have been setting it up. Everything is going smoothly I tried it with a few games and it’s been perfectly fine. But the very second I tried it with rocket league (my main game and pretty much the reason I was looking for a capture card) something went wrong, there’s no delay between my laptop and tv but when try to play the game my controller just isn’t doing what it should be, it’s very subtle but with a mechanical game like rocket league it’s highly noticeable. It’s not delay. I just have no clue but something is throwing me off. The second I turn off the capture card the game plays perfectly and as I would expect.
To update, what’s throwing me off is when I turn it turns for too long, it’s extremely subtle but enough to ruin everything
yes but it not showing the option like it used to show before 'hd60s el gato' i used to be able to hit that and sound would go threw now i dont even have a option but i have picture on streaming pc . if you know a option i dont mind donating 20 dollars for your helpon discord
Is there anyway I can get my elgato HD60 pro to capture 1756x1080? because right now it just says non supported resolution
hey guys, i am using an elgato hd 60+ to stream on twitch using streamlabs at the moment. currently i am playing wild rift on my samsung note 10+ and while i have enabled the 60-fps-mode ingame everytime i stream the fps fall to 23, 24 ... when I'm not using the capture card the fps is fine on a solid 60 ... what might be the reason for this and how may i solve it?
Hey I'm having some issue with HDR on the PS5
I have a 4K 60pro MK2 and its just straight up not working with HDR for some reason
I've seen people talking about the HD60S+ but no one about the 4K 60pro is there a way to fix this?
Is there any possibility to get the 4k Capture Utility Software for Mac?
ngl there's something really weird with my HD60 S+
if I have it running on OBS without even being streaming/recording
but then I try to open a video or stream to discord, not even the HD60 itself, but just screen sharing, it crashes
the passthrough still works
but no more audio through wavelink or whatnot
HD60S+... works fine until i try to use the output port, then it gives me no signal
not supported
only 4k works
helveticat ignored my dm
What problem
An error caused the installation of elgato stream deck wizard to terminate prematurely. Your system has not been modified. To install this program afterwards, run the Installation wizard again. Click the FINISH button to exit the installation.

@zinc dawn I have 4k support...
can someone help me with epoc cam
Hello, I want help regarding StreamDeck, I can't put Mouse4 or Mouse5 or Mouse3 Button in Hotkey switch
How can I get a replacement cable for my elgato? It seems it has had a short in it since i got it and its causing me to not be able to live stream now 😦
hey
can i get somehelp
so i got a new elgato , and was connecting it to my obs so i could start streaming
now i want to use replay buffer feature on obs to clip small highlights from my stream, but i cant use that feature if i have elgato software open at the same time? any reason for that
Good night everyone i have a doubt, i stream from my laptop and i want to buy a HD60 s does the cap take resources from my laptop to work or it makes all the work?
can someone help me out?
can someone please help me I need someone who knows about moniters and capture cards
I pluged my nintendo switch into my monitor through my HD60 but the image quality on my moniter is horrible. The output on my computer is perfect but on my monitor it is horrendous
the image was like this before I put it through my hd60
but I believe it has gotten worse since I put it through my hd60
but im not sure
btw its a regular hd60 not a hd60s
I bought it when it like 4 years ago
I am sorting through tons of individual photos that have been backed up with no organization over the years and want to make a command on the Stream Deck so that it saves whatever photo I am looking at in the Photos app to a specific folder so that I can go through those photos and organize them at a later point in an effort to filter out things like screenshots and useless photos first. Can something like that be done with the deck?
Never mind, got it to work with multi action using control + s hotkey to prompt save, a delay and then enter to save to the last (current working) directory.
Hi - i have a ultra wide 120hz monitor connected via DisplayPort - can I installed a 4k60 Pro - keep the DisplayPort and run a HDMI from my GPU into the in port ?
you can @tribal gulch
But
I want to know if you can overload your gpu doing this.
my last psu went boom and still don't know why exactly.
Had my ultrawide hooked up to the elgato with hdmi, running 120 hz trough it with gsync.
Not sure if this can happen because of those settings.
If anyone can confirm? :p
also the mk2 only supports 3440x1440p 100 hz
Does anyone know this?
@cyan ledge So - stupid question, I will connect my monitor to my GPU via Displayport and it will work normally but the 4k60 Pro will record at 100hz ? or do I have the play/display lower?
sorry can't help you with that, haven't tested that out yet.
Yeah there might be, have you looked into software that allows you to run Windows apps on your mac? worst case have you tried looking into installing Bootcamp?
Hi folks, i have an elgato hd60 Pro. On the software we can choose between expanded and standard video feed. What's the difference? Is it one for full rgb and other for limited? Thanks
That is exactly what it is or at least what it should be
expanded is full and standard is limited.
If I understand this right you want to make a output of Display port from the 4K60pro? That wouldn't work unless you could find a Display port 1.4 to HDMI 2.0 that would work with the Elgato. I'm going to assume like the other person that you have a 1440p ultra wide and not a 1080p one
You wouldn't be able to record the full 120hz and I don't believe it'd even output the full 120hz as HDMI 2.0 doesn't support it. You could drop the resolution to 1080p ultra wide (2560 x 1080 I believe thats the resolution) and it should record the full 120hz. As for your second question it will work completely normally if you just play your monitor into the GPU as it has nothing to with the 4K60pro. Its kinda like my Xbox SX I can't do 120hz 4K unless its plugged directly into my TV I only can do 4K 60hz while plugged into my 4K60pro
I hope this helps a little and wasn't confusing.
Side note for anyone with a PS5 having issues recording 4.2.2 HDR you can do so by just setting the input EDID mode to Display at least this has fixed the issue for me. Make sure that you've updated all the firmware and software by holding "Control" and clicking the gear in 4K Capture Utility
Whats the question, I might be able to help?
Well ok
I have a what, a HD60 S+, and I’ve fixed it and it works amazing, though the color is off
I’ve turned on HDR though it doesn’t look right
I can send SS in dms (screenshot)
HDR doesn't look right in the software or on the TV?
You can send screenshots here I believe
I use the 4K tool and the color doesn’t really look good in the software
This is how it’s supposed to look
Wait no
that’s how it looks with the tool
That honestly is just a issue with the Tone Mapping
So I’m trying to use a DisplayPort from my GPU into my monitor like it is today, then take a HDMI cable from my GPU into the Capture card and combine the monitors
Then record at the best I can
If you can get Windows to think that the Capture card is another monitor you should be able to just clone your ultra wide in windows to the "second monitor" then capture it and have no issues
It'd still be at the 100hz not 120hz though for both
Is this without HDR?
Yes so I would have to be @ 100hz not 120hz right - I guess that is the trade off ?
Sadly yeah, but there is the small chance windows will allow for different refresh rates. Worst case if you really want the 120hz just drop down to 1080p while recording
I turned on HDR and there’s really not a difference
I just read that you said "Tone Mapping"
Idk what tone mapping is
Thanks mate!
In the 4K capture utility hold control and click the gear in the top right
Go to the device page and click "Use HDR Tone Mapping on Device"
This should fix your issue if you don't have it on already
I've noticed that by default its not on
No problems I hope that it all works out for you. If I had a Ultra Wide I'd test it out for you.
Sorry to @ you again but I just tested something, I remembered my monitors are different refresh rates. So I tested my theory if I set my Main display to 1440p 120hz and then told windows to duplicate the displays it would force the top one to 1080p but stayed at 120hz. So in theory now you should be able to keep the 120hz on your display and record at 100hz
@zinc dawn Was that able to fix the issue?
Ah right I ordered today and it arrives Wednesday so hopefully that works, I don’t mind recording @ lower I don’t want my experience to dip if that makes sense - I’d have a poor recordings
I personally don't own a HD60S+ but I knew it had the HDR passthrough which I though would mean it had Tone Mapping. So I'm sorry about wasting your time with that.
My only real suggestion is to mess with the color setting under the picture tab it looks like maybe a contrast down and that should make it look more like the second picture. Hopefully someone will come along who owns a HD60S+
You could try changing the HDMI color range too. from bypass to like expanded
what does that do
If the colour range isn't set to the right setting it can make things looked washed out like you were describing
i did it and meh no real difference
I can't turn up the quality
Yo, anyone know why when streaming my mic in input can be heard but wave link stream cant?
Music, game, etc cant be heard on stream even tho on obs it shows it is coming thru
and i can hear it thru my mix but and the stream mix but its like its not making it to twitch
might anyone have an idea as a solution for my problem? using streamlabs and an elgato 60+ i have a frame drop to 24 fps on my mobile but only in some games .... pubg mobile runs fine ... wild rift doesnt and arena of valot doesnt either. maybe adjust the settings to lowest?
Hello everyone! I just bought an El Gato HD60s+ to be able to stream with dual PC. My streaming Pc is a laptop and am running out of usb in. Was wondering if I can change the original USB C to 3.0 for a USB C to USB C cable?
Can the Elgato HD60s+ stream iPhone?
Guys do you think the Elgato Camlink 4K will have any issues working with the M1 Macbook Pro ?
Yeah. Works fine with my samsung. Just need the right cable or you can use an application with apple without the cables i guess. Someone who owns an iphone can be more spefici on how to connect but usage is confirmed 100 %
Apple Silicon/M1 works with Cam Link and HD60 S+. We've tested it with OBS Studio. But our own software is not yet supported on M1. So third party software is needed.
This can work. However USB-C to USB-C support seems to heavily depend on the computer itself. For instance, my Macbook pro has no problems using a USBC to USBC 3.1 cable to an HD60 S or HD60 S+, but my Windows Ryzen desktop with native USB C does not work all the time and some cables work and then some don't.
So your mileage may vary. I might suggest trying a USB C to 3.0 hub of some kind if the C to C cable does not work. Normally we don't suggest a hub, but I've used a Monoprice hub like this with good success: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-USB-C-4-Port-USB-Adapter/dp/B07H4985XV/
Go into Device Settings over on the right next to the Elgato device icon and make sure the profile is on HD 1080.
Hardware Tonemapping is enabled automatically if 4KCU is closed. Forcing that option means that essentially HDR recording is disabled as the device will always send HDR-to-SDR Tonemapped video to the PC.
It's defaulted to off and hidden so that people can record HDR, and then also stream normally in SDR. Works for vast majority of users.
Jazzy had DM'd me and I sent him some ideas. Though they may have covered it already. My assumption is it's a color range problem rather than tonemapping not working.
I hope that Jazzy's issue can get solved. I just personally don't own that card I've had pretty much every other one though
Yeah it probably does work better for most users. I'm glad the option is there though as personally need it to be on
That function also does work on HD60 S+ btw. You are right.
Just for HD60 S+ and 4K60 Pro MK.2
Oh okay, so Jazzy didn't hold CTRL then
Im so frustrated right now
Whats up?
Could you post a close up photo of what it looks like?
i thought it could have been one of my HDMI cables busted but i swapped them and they seem to work fine
Have you tried force quiting out of the Elgato HD game capture though task manager?
I sometimes have that issue
If you believe the cable was faulty, you can email us: http://e.lga.to/help
Though if you let me know the model I can suggest a third party replacement.
ill try
Email or Call in about EpocCam http://e.lga.to/help
It's still relatively new in the community and I, myself, don't have experience with it.
What model of TV/Monitor is connecting to it?
Last resort you could always download the 4K Capture utility
4K Capture Utility is not available on Mac at the moment. Depending on your device model, OBS Studio probably can do everything you want. Minus HDR recording.
Downloading it now
Not sure why this problem is happening because before hand i never had this issue
HD60 S does not use an onboard encoder. So your laptop will be using its CPU or GPU to handle encoding processing. If you post specs of the laptop we could maybe find out how it would do.
Try going into 4K Capture Utility. Then go to preferences. Go to Device tab.
Then change 'Input EDID Mode' to Display. Hit apply and close 4KCU and try again.
Oh thank you Crest, I already fixed it though
I set the input EDID to display
You're experiencing a delay on your TV when your HD60 S+ is in between? That shouldn't be possible. When using your HD60 S+ does the TV happen to turn on any sort of processing or turning off Game Mode? Is this when using the same HDMI port?
Oh sorry, was just blindly going through the messages and replying in bulk.
No problems, You're just trying to help everyone.

Discord is a side thing from my normal duties so I tend to check it every couple days if I can atleast.
Y'all hear that. We are crests side fling
side-side-side fling even.
Okay it is fixed now i just had to reset my computer because of the update
i was gonna say i never had this before
also for some reason my capture card changed my audio to the capture card lol
Oh that probably cause you have that Elgato Sound Capture thing installed
Personal preference uninstall it
Hello! I connected my Nintendo Switch to the Camlink 4k card and recorded some footage through the 4k capture utility. The problem is I had some frames dropped and some glitchy lag going on. Any idea what could be the problem?
Hi, everyone! I recently got my 4k60Pro Mk2, and i have a question -> Is there a way to capture 60fps signal instead of 240fps from my 240hz monitor? I have cloned the displays and set 60hz via windows or nvidia control panel to elgato, but whenever i enter the game, it goes back to 240fps again..., i want to receive 60fps on my streaming PC because it lowers the impact on cpu, and gives some headroom for my x264 encoding.
The game should still play at the same fps. Or are you saying the capture is at 240.
If OBS Studio is set to 60fps in the Video settings, it's not encoding at 240fps.
But the signal is coming in 240fps, that Itself consumes cpu...
Thats a lot of data
Are you noticing a higher CPU usage when it switches from desktop to the game?
Because there shouldn't be any difference. That data is going into the system but that doesn't mean the CPU is working with it.
Running a test in OBS from my PS4 Pro. 4K60 results in the same exact CPU load on idle as 1080p60. This is just video being brought into the computer and then displayed in OBS. 4K60 to 1080p60 is similar in terms of bandwidth and data transferred as 1080p60 to 1080p240.
OBS was running at 0.3% for each test.
hello i just purchased the wave 3 mic and i am currently trying to set it up. I am coming into a problem hopefully one of yall can help with. I have the software downloaded and the mic is working great but when i use the aux cord to attach my headset to it I am no longer hearing anything and with out the headsets working with mic the software is useless to me. Someone please help me I am losing my mind
Hi there!
I recently got an Elgato Wave:3 and I just recorded my first full video with it.
When editing I'm noticing some crackling every 2-3 minutes.
Added some audio of when it happens.
It's not terrible but it would be amazing if I could get it fixed 😅
Thanks!
Your audio is very quiet, I had to listen to it with my volume almost all the way up. is there something nearby the mic, how are you talking into it, and how far is it from you?
I just got an elgato hd60s and I just don't know how to use it, when it works its capped at 60hz and it doesn't let me go into 144hz, when it does let me go into 144hz it says in the game capture that their is no output input HDMI, I would like help on how to fix this.
There was nothing that could've caused the spikes. The mic was about 30-40cm (12-16inches) away from my face. On the opposite side of where my mouse is.
The mic input was set to 3 dots so I might have to increase that 👍
I was recording on a macbook through Quicktime and Wave Link was opened.
Ah, then I recommend turning on the low cut filter or bringing it closer to you. I have mine about 3-6 inches away which is what the mic was designed for. If you want to have it that far I recommend turning up your gain and turning on the low cut filter so your mic doesn't pick up static sounds. Try that and if it still gives you trouble let us know 🙂
Aha alright! Thanks a lot for your help! ❤️
Any time
What are you trying to capture?
@cosmic vine my screen, it lets me but its capped at 60hz and I want it to be 144hz while I use the capture card, I had it at 144 but in the software it said their were no HDMI output and input
I think the problem is that screens are usually input only except for the audio. Is there something connected to the screen you are trying to capture like another computer or counsel?
@cosmic vine no, just pc.
So like a dual pc setup?
single setup
You're trying to capture your own screen? You don't need a capture card for that OBS, SLOBS, Twitch Studio, and any other streaming software does that for you.
I know that, I heard that the hd60s is good even on the same pc and the quality looks nicer
I don't think it does 144 only 60.
maybe you're right, but I seen videos were people do get more than 60hz, but those videos doesn't help me.
is it just 60hz then when im playing it goes to 144hz? idk its confusion
60hz is equivalent to 60fps. It's one and the same
So an hd60s can capture up to 60hz or 60fps
thanks for the help, I'll try to find a way.
see if anything works if not thats fine
Will an Astro a40 mixamp work with a capture card?
I don't know what that is
i bought a elgato hd60 s and when i try to capture the game it shows a black screen and has constant cracking noises please @ me if you have a solution/can help make a solution
I bought an elgato HD60 S+ from best buy and it captures video at 20 fps max with a noticable delay. Any fixes?
@silent pasture how did you heave your headset set up before?
I have no idea why, but after my streamdeck got bumped or something, it won't work as intended anymore. All it shows is the elgato logo and pushing the buttons does not do anything
I went into the settings and saw this earlier
Alright, so when I use the 4k capture utility on my PC, the video looks good and smooth. But when it finishes recording, it misses a lot of frames. Is this due to hardware limitations?
WTF 4K capture eats all my RAM and won't close(I have 16GB) and I recorded for 2 hours and and about 30 minutes from the start is missing and it's super stuttery even though it plays perfectly fine on my computer. wtf is this, I feel like I wasted so much money on this
i jsut got the ps5, but im not getting any sound/or voice to my streamlabs'
any else have this issue?
Is there a way to mute only in game chat? Sometimes I play with a group and they use too much profanity. I've seen streamers before on Apex where I can't hear who they're talking to but I can still hear game sounds.
I'd like to be able to mute my team if it's a guy that rages a lot.
But have my stream still hear the game.
not very knowledgeable on elgato software but I'm assuming most of those streamers just mute them in game. I don't believe you can specifically filter one part of the game audio out.
Also my own question. I have my elgato hd60 set up with a laptop and my desktop recording my desktop, yet for some reason it only picks up my desktop (game) audio but no matter what I do will not pick up my microphone
OBS is infinitely better. I've been using it now for a few tests. Only problem is it still seems to need a PC with a really good graphics driver or just good specs (not great with computers) for 4k. But yeah, try OBS. Just look up OBS capture card on YouTube
I stream. I wanted to use 4k capture when I stream to record the gameplay separate from the stream stuff. Also so I don't accidentally stream when I want to record
But I'll see if this issue persists in OBS
Thanks, I Didn't think of trying OBS to see if it's the software or capture card
my elgato needs a hdmi chord plugged into it to function, but my monitor also requires a hdmi chord to function, and the ps4 pro only has one hdmi slot
what do i do
Which elgato are you using?
Turns out 4K Capture utility is just poop. None of the issues in OBS.
You can get an HDMI splitter if it doesn't have a passthrough but I think most of the capture cards do, not sure on the USB ones. But either way I think they assume you'll play via your PC screen then.
Camlink 😂
Awesome. I think the 4k thing might be trying to encode in a lossless format or something that takes a god level computer to render in real time
Ah, it's weird because I thought the capture card does the encoding So I didn't know it would be an issue
Oh true, it may for yours. The camlink doesn't do it though
Ah camlink doesn't yeah
Oh were you answering which elgato product only takes one HDMI?
alright thanks a lot...
i just had a pretty weird bug occur... so the streamdeck doesnt work with any other device plugged in except my mouse. it either just turns completely white, or gets in a kindof "bootloop" where it registers and unregisters with windows repeatedly, almost like plugging it in and out really quick. even just a usb hub breaks it. worked fine 11 hours ago when i went to bed, but now its just broken. im not sure if its an issue with the streamdeck or the usb hub, because anything i plug into the hub works fine, and the stream deck works fine if plugged in alone
tldr; i can use either the stream deck or any amount of other USB devices
@brazen wigeon Hey sorry for the direct could you help me with this?
how do I change that to 3440x1440?
Whatcha need?
Oh so you see the EDID interal?
Click that there should be a res choice in there called 3440x1440
Also side note you should update the firmware since you just got it it might be out of date
Great so its done that but it looks like this ?
Its like the Aspect Ratio is wrong?
Hey guys I have a question about audio for my streams. I have an Elgato HD60S+ and I have the series x and PS5. I have been doing alot of console streaming but I cant seem to figure out how to get my discord audio feed into my stream from my PC. Does anyone have a solution?
@cunning latch can i send you a dm?
@cunning latch my laptop works with AMD A10 8700P Radeon R6 Graphics 1.80GHz, 12GB RAM
Sorry for not replying, It looks fine to me
Oh nevermind I see
You might want to try OBS and see if that will work
I have no idea why, but after my streamdeck got bumped or something, it won't work as intended anymore. All it shows is the elgato logo and pushing the buttons does not do anything. does anyone know any fixes to this?
Does the Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk2 work with a Gen 3 PCIE x1 slot?
Hi I just got my elgato hd60s set up to record my switch. But I am having some issues with it
somebody know this bug with elagto 4k60 ? somany times i have to restart pc bc off this
pls help
@toxic spade is it showing up like that on the HDMI passthrough as well? Like on the TV?
Also are your graphics cards up to date?
no only on pc @versed dirge
tv is fine
the secon picture is rn
first one 3 days ago
we play on tv ut half screen is on pc not there when i restart maybe its working but i dont wanna restart always my pc during stream
right now
Hi, I'm new to the server. Having some audio issues. Not sure if I came to the right place.
Looking for any tips that might help me eliminate cracking and lagging sounds. I play on PS4, stream with streamlabs and Elgato HD 60 S and I have to use the chatlink for audio to be captured. The issue started last week after installing the Cold War trial but I have issues on every game now. It keeps getting worse.
So... do people actually respond here?
Just trying to know how long it takes to get support
Okay, well anyone have any suggestions on where I can go to get help?
@dusk narwhal this is community support. If you're in a hurry you should probably call the official support number.
Thanks for the response. I am looking for any support at all.
I have an issue with my HD60 S capture card, its plugged into a USB 3.0 but states that it is not plugged in
I called their official support number, they were very helpful. I didn't know that existed so thank you! I should have looked
called the support team's number but they couldnt figure out the issue
Can anyone help me? I want to buy a HD 60s and my laptop works with AMD A10 8700P Radeon R6 Graphics 1.80GHz, 12GB RAM.
The cap will work as it should??
We have a new driver this month which should fix this. https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/4k_hd60-pro/download.php
1.1.0.191.4
After install reboot twice in a row.
Any of the A-series AMD APUs aren't great. Would not recommend it.
Basic comparison to a midrange AMD Ryzen chip from even just a couple years ago. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-A10-8700P-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600/2542vs2984
Those A-Series chips also were generally dual core based on today's definition.
wait i think i need a hdmi splitter
has anyone ever had problems with HD60 S+ Freezing on OBS, but still passing through the image? It happens in multiple occasions for me, requiring me to restart it.
I have to actually start streaming/recording first, then turn on the capture card to make sure it doesn't freeze in OBS
This on Windows10?
Try moving it to different USB 3.0 ports. If it still continues open 4K Capture Utiliy, hold CTRL and click on preferences. Go to Device tab then change USB Transfer Mode to isochronous. Hit apply and close 4K Capture Utility.
ty, will try that Crest
also, I was a couple of firmwares behind lol
hmm
will try a different USB port
actually, it did update, but still showed that it failed to update lol
I need some small help
I'm trying to figure out why I can't record my desktop audio and my switch at the same time. What am I doing wrong? I have the Elgato sound capture opened but I can't do anything with it.
hey, i kinda need help
i have a bad laptop and i want to stream gta and valorant, but my issue is my i can barely get 40 fps, streaming will make things worse
idrk what the elagto hd60s is and i was wondering if it would take all the streaming stress so i could play gta with 40 - 50 fps while streaming
that's the problem with older lapptops
@alpine mountain its a newer one actually, i5 9300H 2.4 ghz, 8gigs ram and 1650
i5 is old
bruh what😂😂😂
dude you have the wrong idea
completely
i5 comes in many generations, upgraded every year
some may have the i5 4xxx
thats the 4th gen
theres the 7th gen etc
I keep hearing that I should use nvenc as it uses a dedicated separate chip for streaming and therefore should not make a difference to my game when streaming. Then why does my GPU lag when streaming but fine when I'm not? I'm calling BS on this idea.
(I have a 3060ti, R5 3600, 16GB).
Don't forget that the gen also indicates whether it's low or high voltage. 9th gen is high voltage and 10th gen is low voltage in laptops.
All I answer you here too lol
No, your PC does all the encoding still. Streaming will always take a chunk of resources. Unfortunately, the answer is to upgrade your hardware.
Elgato has capture cards with encoders but looks like those are PCI express slotted which means you'd need a desktop anyway
The encoders are not leveraged for streaming. So having an encoder does not benefit streaming and can in some cases use more processing power for streaming since it needs to decode the video feed first from the card and then re-encode..
That's a good system but unless you have a second computer to do all your streaming, a capture card will not help here.
That said, your system should do good. I don't know how you're getting such low FPS. 1650 is a good GPU. Be sure you're using the GPU to encode. 9300H might be throttling and slowing down if doing CPU encoding.
I have an older XPS 15 with a 7700HQ with 1050 and could stream on it. Maybe not GTA5, but CSGO ran just fine with the right tuned settings.
NVENC is indeed a dedicated section of the GPU die used for encoding. It essentially has no game impact but statistically it's there, just very small. Maybe 1% hit.
If you're noticing a big change when streaming, something else is happening with your streaming settings.
We don't suggest updating the firmware unless you're having an issue that we know is fixed by firmware. Which is rather a niche type of fix.
But sometimes the USB port/controller can have an impact on firmware updating. But if the card is working fine, besides the freezing, don't just try the firmware update just for the heck of it. If it continues, please email our team so we can collect more information. http://e.lga.to/help
Anything I can look at? As currently I dont believe for 1 second nvenc wont have impact on games, as when I stream it's like I'm trying to play on a Commodore 64 lol
What software are you using?
SLOBs but OBS is the same too
Would be good to get a log file from a recent test recording or stream. Can see more detail of your settings, scene, and encoding options.
If you have one you can DM it to me and I'll take a look. Going to bed now 
can do but dont know how
SLOBS: C:\Users\ (username)\AppData\Roaming\slobs-client\node-obs\logs
OBS Studio: C:\Users\ (username)\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\logs
thanks - ok to dm you later?
sure. I'll check it tomorrow
Hi there, wondering if anyone could help me with the streak deck. When I start the PC it seems to just have the elgato logo but doesn't disappear and I have to unplug it from the USB slot and back in again for it to load up. Any ideas?
Is your stream deck plugged into the computer or into dock
Im looking to buy a capture card for my pc however want no hit on performance at all and i want to use display port! what product would yall suggest. I was looking at the hd60 pro however it affects performance?
when i say performance i mean the qaulity and hz that is acctually being displayed to the monitor
I recommend going to the website, scrolling all the way down, then pressing comparisons and look at what looks best for you
Just have a look
cause rn i have the hd60s attached and it looks much worse
like just generally
it doesnt say
@compact warren
1 sec
oke
yes but i have the hd60s and it doesnt look good while using it
like it doesnt output 144hz
^^thats what it feels like
Make sure it’s probably attached
what?
Nothing
o
IsoPigeon prob knows
elgato has a setup guide for high fps passthrough on the site somewhere
cant look now as im at work but it exist
ok thanks
ok mine doesnt support 120hz or more at any res
neither does the hd60 pro
what mic? what software?
im using 4k capture utility
and im using a pair of apple headphones
@tender quartz
ahh wont be able to help you their sorry
god dammit
no reason for any of that
would be possible for me to connect it to OBS and try filming from there
Anyway to see apps that aren't open/playing any audio?
I use touch portal to run macros etc. One of mine is to play some audio, I tried to set touch portal itself to play the audio to one of wave link's channels
but it just didn't and now I can't change it back
Hello I have a elgato wave 1 and i have it plugged in and its still not connecting with the software
I wish there was an elgato instant replay feature
so are there any other ways to fix the USB 3.0 issue? I've updated drivers, windows, etc. Called Elgato support, they couldn't assist because i just redid everything they told me to do.
oops, sorry 
If anyone is awake please help. I have a Elagto wave 3/ Steel series acrtict wireless pro and PS5 I can't get audio from the wave to my ps5 to work
Is there a max number of pages on a stream deck mini?
No, on all stream decks you can get infinite folders/ profiles (so you can put folders inside folders)
That being said. You'll have difficulty navigating after a certain amount of pages
good point
Hi did anyone else fixed this issue where their Elgato's audio is insanely stuttery and distorted? I tried my best to weed out every single problem from getting rid of all of my headset splitters and have an aux cable directly plugged into the controller then I tried doing it but with the audio coming from HDMI. The issue still happens on Elgato's 4k Capture Software and OBS too.
Here is a video of how the audio is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvJje8qIqfc&feature=youtu.be
I also tested the Aux cable on it's on to see if that was the issue and the Aux cable is fine. The only thing that seemed to changed this problem is using a different USB port. Instead of the game audio being insanely distorted like in the video I listed below it has a higher tone of pitch now but it's still stuttery. I also made sure all of my playback devices and recording devices were 48000hz too.
Do you use Streamlabs OBS or just normal?
Right now I'm hearing the audio through Elgato's 4k Capture. I also tried OBS and it has audio issues too
@tender quartz ur smarter than me at this
Reinstalling the 4K Capture software didn't really do anything. I also updated the card's drivers too. Is there a way to downgrade drivers?
i dont use the capture utility sorry.
f
Its probably not connected properly
No biggie if anyone can't solve the issue. I searched far and wide on the internet and used what I could. I might contact Elgato themselves for a replacement I'm slowly thinking my Elgato is broken.
also i try not to use this channel at work. was taking up too much of my time
Its probably not connected properly @ancient cairn
I'll look at my wires again
Ok
If its still buggy try it on a different game (aka it may be the game thats laggy)
doesnt sound like an audio cable issue
I will probably try it on my switch and see if my Playstation is the issue
sounds like a software issue
tbh yea
i would be very surprised if this was related to the audio cable
Yeah
If you go to the official Elgato Youtube, there is probably a video explaining how to fix the problem (knowing them)
@compact warren Thanks A Lot! I think I fixed the issue and it was probably one of the cables that was loose. I re-plug everything back in making sure they were fully snug by giving em an extra push.
Im smart
jkjkjk glad that i helped
I was getting hopeless last night I was working on this issue for a good 3 hours between 10pm-12am and searching through dead reddit posts
Ooooof that must of sucked
and check if all of my audio cables were working as well
Ok
thanks a lot I'm glad this discord is here 😭
Haha its all good
Disable Windows 10 Fast Startup. This can cause it.
now that is good to know
Actually rather common. That seems to block some devices from properly initializing.
Fast Startup is a new name for a type of hibernate.
hey guys
I have an iphone 12 pro max, and a 4k cat 60 mk2, but I can only mirror the screen in 1080p Does anyone know if there is a lightning adapter that I can transmit in 4k? or at a resolution higher than 1080p?
Elgato doesn’t have a phone capture so I don’t recommend talking about that in here 😅
??
I did not understand friend, I use my iphone on the cat 4k 60fps mk2, however it only passes 1080p on account of the iphone aptador, I just want to know if there is an adapter for the iphone to spend more than 1080p on the cable
It won’t be from Elgato so this isn’t the best place to put it
I recommend
EpocCam
EpocCam Pro
Though
I think they mean for game capture. I just don't know the iphone dongle stuff
per apple's dongle its only 1080p
the problem with all this and the iphone lightning hdmi adapter that supports only 1080p, i would like to find one that supports a better resolution
thats all on apple
I own Mike Wave:3 but I can not enter the program and what are the problem?
please help
That happened to me, try unplugging and plugging back in while in the app, if that doesn’t work unplug and plug back in with the app closed
Also plug it in to your computer not to a dock
Doesn't work Is there another solution?
Reinstall the software
when i download epoccam 3.0 it uninstalls the same time and i dont get the software and just keep the installer
Friends, I did everything I said but nothing worked
Is connected straight into your computer
Or into a dock with multiple plugs
@unkempt vault
If it isn’t plugged straight into the computer, do that, if that doesn’t work plug it into a different slot
I was able to open the program, but this happened to me. Do you know the solution?
Anyone know of a fix with Nvidia drivers and Elgato software?
After installing an RTX 3080 (previously AMD RX580) - my CamLink and HD 60 Pro are having serious issues
No signal errors from the HD60 and frequently my Camlink freezes
This didn’t happen for me @tender quartz might know
Yeah its still having the same issue as before. The software is just open now. It doesn't see the mic
I'm having troubles with my capture card, it was working fine earlier but after I tried deactivating and reactivating it, all it shows is a blank black screen, and no audio comes out of it. However, the display is still showing up perfectly on the TV, any Idea why this is happening?
I had the same issue not to long ago similar issue this morning where my game audio coming from the Elgato was a higher pitch then usual. I fixed this though by unplugging all of the cables to my Elgato and it seems to reset itself (I have a HD60S+ and it lighted up white led lights when I unplugged all of the cables).
^^^ Just putting this out there I feel like that will be helpful to someone.
The input, there is white text on the Elgato that says output and input
If you the text is gone I believe its the USB side
there was a youtube tutorial and it told me put one hdmi in my computer and daisy chain it into one of my monitors
so if my switch is connected to a different monitor thats ok right
Either of the HDMI cables should be going to your Computer
One should be coming from your switch and going into the input port of the Elgato then the output goes to your monitor and the USB cable goes to your PC in a USB 3.0 port (normally colored blue)
yes
But the HDMI cable that comes from the Elgato needs to go to a monitor not the PC
Ahh ok lemme see
Switch hdmi>elgato >monitor hdmi
Elgato USB >pc
i finished connecting everything and the software still looks like this
is there anything extra i need to do
It's not seeing your card. Make sure the switch is on
It would see the card whether the switch was on or not
should the monitor with the switch in it be set to the switch
Its not needed for it to show up in the software
Sooo I have installed and reinstalled OBS Studio & Stream Deck and keep seeing this issue:
Just make sure the cable is plugged into a USB 3.0 port
They are also both installed on my C drive:
mm
I just deleted it all again and restarted. So trying to install again, but I'm not sure why it would be throwing that error.
the switch daisy chain to my monitor i made works since i can see my switch in the monitor
and the elgato glows white when i plug in the usb 3.0 so im pretty sure that means its in
so i dont think the cords are the problem
What color is the glow
white
Well that's good
Welp thanks for the help fellas I guess I'll look elsewhere
Contact the official support email or phone number. They are pinned in this channel
hey, I just bought a HD60 S, and when connecting my Switch to my PC with it via the game capture software, when the volume on either my PC or the software is above approx. 20 the audio starts crackling. I've found that if I change any enhancement settings on my main audio output device (my headphones) the crackling stops for 10-15s, I have confirmed it is not the headphones though as my friends can hear the crackling also if I stream the capture software over Discord.
Cleaned my room tried to put it back together and it’s not working
Am I doing anything wrong here
i downlaoded epoccam onto my pc but after i restart to finish instal it never finishes?
Nvm I’m done
I’m looking into getting a capture card to improve my streams and I don’t know which one to get the hd60 s or the hd60 s+
Is there any known issues with the Elgato HD60 S+ card? It seems to randomly keep freezing and requires hard reset, deactivate + activate in obs to get it to work again...but it can happen 5 times in 10 mins then be fine for like 30 mins or so
Well, what's the solution, brother?
.
I wish I new
Does anyone know how to get discord audio from a MacBook to an Astro a40 mixamp? I use an aux cord to connect them but I only get audio from discord to the left side of the headset
Whenever I'm using Screen Link for my phone, it freezes on the 4k capture software after a few seconds
Then I have to close it by using task manager
Was working fine like a week ago
Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
I recently started using the Sony a5100 as a cam in stream via the Elgato Camlink 4K. Since then I have the problem that the software of my capture card "Recentral" from Avermedia no longer gets enough FPS pure. The FPS reduce from 60 down to 20-30 FPS. The capture card I use to transfer my gaming computer and has nothing to do with the camera or the Camlink.
I turned on the task manager during the FPS drops, but CPU is running at an easy 40%, GPU as well and memory is at 50%.
The problem always occurs when I start OBS Studio and resolves when I remove the camlink - whether the camera is on or not.
Does anyone have any idea what this is about and can help me?
Do you guys send your elgato clips to a SSD or a Hard Drive? One of my clips I noticed how it blinks out alot like a black screen would appear just for a second and it would happen fairly often then some frames would be skipped. I'm suspecting it's a hardware issue and my hard drive can't keep up.
Please help. I have a problem for a long time. I have a microphone, but the program does not work
Did you try Uninstalling and reinstalling the software?
Also maybe try a different USB slot on your computer
You did everything and it didn't work
wave3
i got it the day before yesterday and it was working and I did format it for windows and the program is no longer working Wave link
Uh you formatted it? What?
@tender quartz Yes, full PC
@peak harness just know that if you bring the mic in on a separate line from the stream line that you'll lose the ability to adjust the volume in obs from wavelink.
You'll have to use either the gain knob on the mic if you have a wave 3 or the slider in obs
Hello, I am trying to use my PS5 with my HD60S+ and just looking in OBS there seems to be some lag. Is there a setting or something that I have to change either in OBS or the PS5 to make it look smooth or a firmware update?
Note: this is without streaming, just looking at the game capture in OBS
There will always be a delay in the capture.
@tender quartz Im sorry I didnt make it clearer. The lag im referring to is in the video itself. For instance the game doesnt look as smooth as it does on my monitor.
You were right, Avermedia's capture software was not installed on any SSD drive. I have now tried this with all SSD disks in the computer, but the FPS drops still persist.
For some reason I cannot get WaveLink to launch automatically with my computer. I have even tried putting a shortcut to the executable into the Windows Startup folder. The option open at login is checked and yet I always have to manually open it. Also, is there a way to make it so it doesnt ask for admin permission every time it opens?
I have an audio issue and I cant think of a good solution right now. I have the arctis pro wireless headset plugged into my PS5 via USB and the PS5 outputting audio vis USB which is working fine. However, because it can not output audio to both the USB and HDMI at the same time, OBS is not picking up any sound from the PS5 through the HD60S+ since Im not outputting through hdmi. Anybody have a solution to this?
Issue with 4k60pro mk.2 have already contacted support and waiting for reply, thought I’d jump in here and see if anyone else had an issue or a fix?
When slotted in a PCIe x4 compatible slot - device is not recognized in the BIOS. Recognizes that something is slotted but in BIOS board explorer shows “unknown vendor/hardware running x4” also 4k utility shows no device connected.
MOBO is MSI MEG x570 Unify running 7C35vA7 BIOS
Windows is version 19042
All other products are properly recognized.
Tried PCIe slots 3 and 5 and tried running PCIe slot 3 as 3.0 and 2.0 with no success.
4k capture utility is up to date, as well as most recent drivers. Tried re-seating, and re-installing drivers etc.
Is it a dud or is it hardware incompatible?
This is something you'll have to wait for official support to answer. Or for one of them to jump in here, you may get lucky.
Yeah I’m going for luck. I might also just straight exchange for a different one at Best Buy and see if the problem persists and then it’ll tell me there’s a bigger problem I can’t fix
I'm going to say it sound like a hardware issue. That's a fairly recent mobo
Yeah I’m hoping it’s the capture card itself and not have to switch out the MOBO. It’s a high end MOBO that I chose specifically so I had expandability and I’m also running a 3950x in it until I get a 5950x as my gaming pc is complete with a 5900x 3080 combo.
PCIe slots definitely do work as I’ve tried other stuff in them and they connect fine. It’s just the capture card that shows in the e BIOS board explorer “unknown vendor/hardware” where as my USB connected products (stream deck) show Elgato and everything else gets recognized by vendor and product name
Try updating Windows cause thats not the lastest update should be 20H2
I'm only suggesting this cause your using a X570 chipset
You right, let me try that. That’s the optional isn’t it?
No its a new windows 10 version
Came out in October I believe
You are on I believe the may 2020 update
This sort of stuff can be complex for the community so you may not get the right answers (you might) (I don’t know the fix either btw) so I recommend tweeting Elgato on Twitter
I do feel its a windows update though cause that motherboard wasn't out when your version of windows was out. So it could be a conflict another suggestion is to update the firmware but cause its not showing up in 4k capture utility (please they need a better name) you can't do that
Yeah hopefully Support gets back to me soon, never had any issues with elgato products up until now. Most of the time it’s just Plug and Play. I need to use the 4k60pro mk.2 specifically because I play at 1440p 144hz and need that pass through.
Tried with my old HD60 and Fullscreen windowed in Destiny 2 and cloning the displays still made it run in 1920x1080 so I definitely need the 4k60pro to achieve what I’m wanting to do without having to run in Windowed mode. Also was getting really choppy stream just doing the fullscreen projector and having the windows extended.
Good luck
Unsuccessful

I need help setting up my ps4 VR headset to my Elgato. its an HD60 S. it reads the vr just fine but it displays nothing, even though I turned off the HDCP setting on my ps4
I don’t know a lot about VR but it could be: A) In your VR settings. B) In the HD60 settings
I'm continually having a problem where the Elgato software keeps freezing in place while recording videos & needs to catch up. It also stops the commentary audio from being recorded, requiring m to need to press the button for commentary on & off to reset it, which is incredibly annoying. It's like the software has a hard time writing the data of the videos to the computer's hard drive for no reason. What's worse is that, if I stop the recordings, the videos get cut off where it stopped writing the data, with no way to get back what wasn't recorded. I have no idea why this is & it's incredibly annoying.
I'm using a 2012 iMac updated to the latest OS, Big Sur.
The only other time I've had trouble like this was 3 years ago when a power out screwed the computer's hard drive up when I was using it to record videos & it wasn't plugged into a power strip with a surge protector, requiring me to need to take it in for a hard drive replacement. Currently it is plugged into a power strip with a surge protector &, while there's been some power outs, with some being when I'm recording videos, this shouldn't be happening. I'm gonna run a diagnostic on the thing when it finishes catching up in 100 years, but why is this happening?
The cables are probably loose.
The cables for what?
Sorry thought you were using HD60 lol
I am.
No, just an HD60. I'd like to get an S, but it's too much, especially when I have the slightly older model that still works fine.
The cables on the actual HD60 is probably loose
I'll check, but I don't think that's the problem. If it was, I think it would've happened earlier than now. I rarely move it outside of changing the HDMI input from one console to another.
Sometimes cables come loose over time
From not moving it?
Just checked &...that's not what it is at all. All of the cables were firmly in place like always. I'm pretty sure that it's the computer.
I hope the next update for the app can address this issue in some way.
When was the last time you restarted?
Last night.
For how long?
Or this morning.
Not long. I had it restart, not shut off completely. Before that, I think it was in rest mode. It took a little longer than it probably should've to restart, though.
That's why I think it may be a hard drive issue. The previous issues were because the power out caused a short (or some other electrical problem) in the other HDD that caused it to start to fail slowly over time, which caused problems like parts of videos not being recorded &/or commentary audios either not being saved to the video files, or being distorted.
You may have to shut your computer down overnight/ 4+ hours to make sure it’s not just the computer needing a break.
It may be a hard drive issue but it may be a computer issue
That's why I'm gonna run a diagnostic in a bit. To make sure.
Ok good idea
Hi everyone so I have an xbox series S hooked up to my 4K60 Pro mk.2 and I went to use game capture but that is not compatible so I would have to use the 4K capture utility however I want to be able to play games with the passthrough function but the capture utility will not allow me to do that with zero latency. I was wondering if there was anything i'm missing or if I should return it and get the HD capture card for the passthrough function
The 4K60 doesn't have the passthrough feature?
It should
Am I using the term incorrectly? I might. I just mean I want to be able to play my console game from software on my PC if that makes more sense
Software needs updating
Software may need update
Which software should I update, game capture HD or the 4K capture software
Both, if it’s needed
Okay, Im just wondering because my brother actually has just the HD60 card and he uses it for his switch and just plays it on his pc all the time so that's why I was a little concerned when I opened up the game capture HD and it said the device is not supported
Just bc I would like to hear pc and console audio at the same time
It'd be good to upgrade both anyways, due to how there are usually bug fixes & improvements in updates to things.
So I've updated the 4K capture utility and the latency is still just awful
What’s your audio setup like, it sounds like you want PC audio and Console audio all going to your headset because the passthrough function isn’t software, it’s the ability for the capture card to be able to passthrough those refresh rates and resolutions through HDMI which weren’t supported until now @civic basin
You shouldn’t be playing the game through the 4k capture utility, which it sounds like you may be doing.
Update on my own issue with the Elgato 4k60pro mk.2 I think I’ve decided that it’s faulty hardware as it shows unknown vendor/multimedia device running x4 and that Device manager shows drivers are not installed - windows cannot find drivers for the device. Manually installing drivers don’t work. Windows is up to date, BIOS is up to date.
2 completely separate systems could not identify the hardware and could not install any drivers for the hardware. Via windows or manually.
nice
Yeah tomorrow I’m gonna return to Best Buy and straight exchange for a new one and hopefully it’ll just plug and play. Literally I can’t figure out any fix if drivers are refusing to install and windows/MOBO can’t even identify the device at all or correctly
I was thinking of firmware updating but that also wouldn’t work as the 4k capture utility doesn’t even think a device is plugged in
i apologise but I'm resending my problem so that it isn't hidden if anybody knows a solution
hey, I just bought a HD60 S, and when connecting my Switch to my PC with it via the game capture software, when the volume on either my PC or the software is above approx. 20 the audio starts crackling. I've found that if I change any enhancement settings on my main audio output device (my headphones) the crackling stops for 10-15s, I have confirmed it is not the headphones though as my friends can hear the crackling also if I stream the capture software over Discord.
how do i setup audio on my capture card
Looking for some assistance with the Elgato Key Lights. Went to live stream with them the other day while connected to my wifi and my stream/internet kept crashing for 20 second periods, would come back for maybe 15 seconds, and crash again. Once I turned the lights off completely, my connection was perfectly fine. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
looking for some assistance with epocccam. i installed it and its capturing but in my obs its showing up as everything is green
messed around with some settings and now its black and white
I have a little problem
I have everything set up but it’s not showing my pc screen on the monitor it’s only showing the switch screen.
Your cables may be loose! Check them
oh thanks, will do!
lol i jiggled all the cables and pushed them in and it's working well, thanks!
I NEED HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE?!
Anyone else having issues where Control Center wonyt stay on... i open the shortcut, see it appear on screen then vanish, look at taskbar and see the logo, put mouse over it and it vanishes
If i play on 1440p, can i use the hd60s to capture in order to stream 1080p60fps on 2nd pc?
Yo, does anyone here use the elgato for mobile gameplay
on the hd60s how do i setup the audio pls help
Lol
It should be already connected in the software app
Ok
ill send you a pic of soundcapture
Kk
instead ill just say,
theres no option for the elgato thingy
the sound capture is on pc gaming and both options theres no option involving elgato
hello. I have an HD60s+ and in the past week, the led on it went red and the capture card turned off multiple times. Does anyone know what does this mean? I use it to connect my switch to my mac
What’s the sound capture off of
what do you mean
1 sec I’ll help in a sec
What are you using
To do sound capture
Like OBS etc
Kk lemme think
i mean like, the stream can hear it, but its echoing on the speakers and my headset if you know what i mean
should my gaming pc also be on normal speakers not elgato speaker
how do i fix it
its like, the stream can hear it, i can hear it in my headphones but also my mic is picking up the audio to because its coming out my streaming pcs speakers aswell
Just turn it off from the speakers
how
Like turn the speakers off
Ohhh
idk where the option is
is it a windows laptop? in the settings you can disable speakers
go to your control panel and sound and you can disable the one you don't want
and i cant
ive added the capture card as a video card and the audio is wave out i cant think of anything else
i just had to restart obs, the audio is now working but where do i disable speakers
control panel > sound > disable the one you don't want
im on the control panel

EpocCam
