I tried the other steps like disabling selective suspending and unplugging/restarting programs, but no dice
@feral jay can you chime in?
That message was copied from an earlier message they sent
Weird question but can I edit sounds from the elgato with audacity?
Im stuck on an infite loading loop trying to use epocCam, like it won't connect(Im on windows and both devices are on the same internet connection, im currently using the free version and the version drivers I believe but im still having issues.) any tips?
Im also trying to connect using my Iphone 11 if that makes any difference
Has anyone run into an issue where when using the HD60 PRO, the video feed goes perfectly through to the monitor, but as soon as you open up the 4k Capture Utility, the screen flickers black?
how do I capture my pc with Elgato 4k 60pro
do i need to plug in hdmis to my graphics card and monitor??
I found out the issue for those curious as well as how to get the HD60 pro to work. The solution was disabling the HDCP setting in the ps4, then I was having no issue with the capture card.
@snow shell you want to plug in the hdmi of the system you are trying to capture into the IN channel of your capture card, then with the second HDMI plug in the out of the capture card into your monitor.
that is correct.
Anyone a Wiz with Elgato Capture Card/Driver settings. I've got a 4k60 mk2 installed in my PC. I'm having issues where the sound delay coming to the stream and me is about 0.5 seconds behind the action in the game. For platforms and story games its not a massive issue but in FPS like Warzone it makes a huge difference. When I get shot before I've got the audio cue I'm already half dead 😂 . I've done some searching on forums and this does seem to be a recurring issue. People have suggested installing different drives to the most recent released ones but I still seem to have the issue. Anyone experienced this and been able to fix?
So you are using a dual pc set up I assume
Headphones are to the PC so I can hear the stream
There will be always a delay, you cant fix that
So, if you want sound without a delay, you have to connect it to the controller like you would normally
it comes up on the stream as well though. I thought with the Capture card that the sound would match up to the gameplay?
Using obs you can set delays
So just to make sure I'm being clear. Even when using the 4K capture utility there is a halfish second delay on the audio....I thought that with it being a pass through the sound would be instant and natch up to the video
Sorry if I'm not making sense
All the elgato capture cards had some sort of delay
Unless, you are using the pass through (which is how it’s supposed to be used)
How do I check if I'm using the passthrough?
three
All connected to my PC. So my PS5 is in the input port for the capture card and the output goes into one of my monitors
So, your capture card should have two hdmis (one for input and one for output)
Your ps5 should be plugged into the input
Correct
And monitor connected to the output
Ok
Making sure you weren’t playing with a video delay too
Hopefully I’m not confusing you
When I use my capture card, I don’t look or use audio from my pc because it will always be delayed
I see what you are saying, but how do you then listen to Discord etc?
in other words. you need a chat link
I still don't think we've understood each other here.
I'll try explaining again
Currently streaming using a 4K60 Pro Mk2 installed internally to capture audio/video from PS5
I'm not using PlayStation chat but discord to squad up
All audio is being routed through my PC.
By using Vipers suggestion of connecting my headset to the PlayStation direct, the pc will no longer pick up the audio and I lose the pc sounds (music, discord, stream output)
If I'm understanding what Chat link is, that's for wanting to use PS chat?
correct. do you use elgato sound capture aswell?
Maybe you can check this: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027963812-Elgato-Sound-Capture-Manual-and-User-s-Guide
@digital pawn im trying to capture my computer
So i need to plug in my graphics card to my elgato?
Please do not ping moderators as we are not tech help.
This is a community tech help channel, so someone from the community may come and help if they choose so.
Hi All, Sorry to bother you. I hope someone can help.
I recently got a 4k pro and I am having trouble setting it up. It is plugged into the PCIe slot and the white light is on. The HDMI cables both work as I have tested them.
However I cannot get any signal either to the elgato capture software which says "No capture device found" or my monitor which just shows a black screen meaning no input.
Does anyone have any advice?
I have tried the FAQs but none of the suggestions seem to have changed anything
@south bronze I disabled the save power on all available USB devices
Additionally, you need to restart your PC after making these changes
I've included this in the message as I had forgotten about it
I just tried doing the disabling and restarting and it's still giving me the "Needs a 3.0 port" error
Could the Elgato hardware itself be defective?
Do you have the HDMI cables connected?
Shouldn't be the case if the program recognizes it, are you using 4K Capture or Game Capture
I don't have the time to help you right now but try unplugging everything from the Elgato and open Game Capture , from there it should say that there is no device found. Connect the USB cable to the Elgato and from there it should prompt an error about no HDMI. From there follow the steps from my previous message on the order in which you should connect them
Game Capture HD. And no, I just have the USB connected to it and no HDMI
That's what worked for me but there could be some other solutions and it would be best to raise a ticket with the support as 3.0 is a very generic error by the looks of it
Yeah, I submitted a ticket yesterday
you could also check their compatibility page
My motherboard has only 3.1 ports so that shouldn't be an issue for the Elgato. Also go through the settings of the app and see if you spot something out of the ordinary (eg. 4k being set as resolution, while the HD60 S supports up to 1080/60
do tag me if you find a solution or get a reply on how to fix, as I can include it in my wall of text and maybe have a mod or someone pin it for future purposes
Why is my elgato saying i need a usb 3.0 when i have a USB3.0
What is going on
Do i have to buy a USB 3.0 lol
ngl im kind of upset at this
@wooden spoke are you using the same cable that shipped with your capture card? Is it plugged into a USB 3.0 port (typically these will have blue on the edge)?
Its plugged into my pc but its not capturing anything its just saying it needs to be connected when it is
welp guess i cant discord stream my xbox cause of this
this is dumb
@wooden spoke @sterile falcon Just a quick question, have y’all disabled HDCP on your consoles? If you’re using a Nintendo Switch, disregard the question.
Huh?
Hi all,
I am using a 4k Pro and I can't get it to display my switch and move past "no Signal" does anyone have any advice?
Which console are you trying to record/stream from?
I have, but I’m not trying to plug the consoles into the capture card yet. I’m just trying to get Game Capture HD to recognize the ports it’s plugged into so I can adjust its settings and make it work.
im On Series x
Series X
I’m seeing on Elgato’s website to try every USB port to see if it’ll work on another. Additionally, if you have a lot of devices connected via USB, try having the Elgato be the only thing connected aside from keyboard/mouse as it could overload the USB controller in your motherboard.
Ah, disregard. It’s always OFF unless you open an application such as Netflix that requires HDCP to be ON
Try following what I responded to Behon, after that...I would just submit a ticket to official support.
you can search for the messages I've sent in this server and I've written what fixed the issue for me (that being the 3.0 USB)
credit where is due for the effort put into writing all of it and including as much detail as possible :)
this USB 3.0 thing is really irritating me
Ohhhh imma punch something if i dont figure this thing out dude
ive restarted my pc and nothing works nothing what i do works
fixed it
A friend of mine is having a weird problem with his stream deck, where every time his computer is turned on or woken up, Windows will recognize it and show that nothing is wrong, but the software will not detect it being plugged in.
The only way we've found to fix it is by forcing the software to close via Task Manager and then restarting it. Which is starting to get annoying
I tried it on my own computer. My stream deck doesn't do that, and his doesn't do it on my PC either
what ended up fixing it?
idk i just fixed it
I got an hd60 pro a few weeks back. I deduced that sometimes when i boot my switch (only console i capture) and monitor audio thru the elgato software, I get crackling. It's not an issue if i boot the software after the console is on. but i feel like im getting small crackles here and there. any specific info out there on this?
Did you try switching which port you plugged it into? Change anything in Device Manager? Unplugging other things that were plugged in via USB? Change the way HDMI cords were connected?
anyone having issues with the stream deck software and voicemod?
every day, I've found no fix the past 2 weeks.
i found uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin helped
Interesting, I tend to have the issues when my pc goes in/out of sleep mode a few times a day. I’ve tried changing sleep/power settings, didn’t work. For me just force closing both apps and reopening works but that’s the end all fix ofc. Has that fix been a solid or temporary one?
So far so good!
Groovy
Hey so i just setup my HD60pro and pluged in my gaming pc and streaming pc but when i plug it in i'm getting an extra screen which is i don't know where it came from. Also when i try to open discord or other apps they're all going to other screen and i can't do anything also my 240hz monitor going to be 75hz for some reason. Can someone help me with this? sorry for my bad english btw.
i changed my main monitor to number 1 but i'm still having the same problem
- i can't capture my main gaming monitor. game capture app capturing the monitor which is number 2 from the picture i just sent
Hi. I kinda need some help. I'm kinda hesitant on getting HD60S because I'm not sure if my laptop can handle the capture. I own a Dell Inspiron 5567 with in-depth specifications below:
Processor: 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-7200U Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz SDRAM
Display: 15.6-inch HD (1366 x 768) Truelife LED-backlit display
Graphics:
Intel® HD Graphics 620 (standard on 7th Gen Core i3/5/7)
AMD Radeon™ R7 M445 Graphics 2GB GDDR5 (Discrete/Dedicated GPU)
I'm also worried because the requirement says quad-core and mine is only dual-core. Any help will be very much appreciated.
Hmmm - Really odd problem with the Wave Mic last night.
Audio would not route through certain inputs within Wavelink - Tried multiple sources within the sound settings (Browser Youtube, Spotify, Discord, A game operating in a sep window etc).
Basically, routing any of the above through any of the below resulted in the following.... By this, I mean selecting them as the "Output" in App Volume and Device Preferences
Not working - No activity in the Wave Link Inputs
Aux 1
Browser
Music
SFX
Working Wave Link Inputs
Hardware Inputs (So the Mic itself)
System
Voice Chat
Aux 2
I've Tried
Updating Wavelink (Build 2328)
Removing/adding the inputs
Rebooting
Removing / Reinserting the Mic (I do this anyway as I operating the Mic and headphones through a USB switch. I've bodged a solution by routing Spotify through Aux 2 at the moment... but I now have a bunch of Audio devices that will not route audio to Wavelink....
can i use only obs studio, and not the game capture software?
obs studio can capture games.
someoen
help me
If OBS recognizes Elgato, I don't see a problem
wdym reconise?
Otherwise you can screencapture the Game Capture application
obs studio has a game capture
im not gonna downlaod the game capture. thats what obs is for.
Check if your OBS has the option to capture from the Elgato in the settings
i dont have my card yet
i wanna record nintendo switch
can i play in my tv and record on my pc, although they are in seperate rooms?
is that possible, or should i play in handheld mode next to my pc?
hello?
someone help
Hello! Been trying to stream ps5 content with streamlabs on twitch, I'm currently using the Elgato HD60 S+ , but for some reason there is no audio going from my capture card to my headphones. Any ways to fix this? Been at it for the past 2 hours 
i neeed answers
can anyone help me with my streamdeck? this might be an easy one but its something ive never done before. i have streamdeck XL installed, with lots of sound clips etc on it. I am moving over to a new computer this weekend. is there any kind of way i can save a profile, then load it up on the new PC and i have all my streamdeck all setup and all my sounds still on there?
Good morning Elgato family, I have been experiencing issues lately with my Stream Deck. The first issue is that my screen will go black out of no where. When I press a button, it gives me the green triangle with !. I then force close Stream Deck app and restart with no issues for a while, then it will happen again. The second and most irritating issue is that when I try to use the Twitch plug-in items like ads, clear chat, clip to chat, etc., they all give me the same error on screen. When running ads, it says that the channel needs to be a partner or affiliate channel, in which I am an Affiliate. The last issue lately is with my Wavelink program and the Stream Deck. If I have the Wavelink software open, the Steam Deck tells me that I need to have it open even though it is. Can anyone assist?
What info are you looking for?
wdym
ok
but how am i suppposed to record from my tv
to my pc from another room
is there a wireless option?
the 4k60s+ has the ability to record to a sd card. Otherwise you would need to put the things in the same room.
it doesnt
in hand held mode?
nope
what do i do
¯_(ツ)_/¯
pls. tell me how to record from my switch to obs
need to be able to connect the usb to the pc and the switch dock has to plug in to the hd60... so if you dont want to move to the pc it might not work.
ok...
but i wanna use obs only
to capture the card and the game
also
i wanna preview my video in obs, so if i connect the switch to my pc, wont it change outputs>
you connect the hd60s to the pc, you plug the hdmi from the switch to the in on the hd60s, and use the out to go to your gaming screen.
how many monitors do you have
than you would either play in the obs preview, or have different tv/monitor in to get setup
so i play using my pc?
well that screen yes
You wouldnt switch the input.. you can just use obs preview to play otherwise you need to bring in a second screen

Every time I start my PC for the day it says that Voicemod isn’t running and none of the apps will work. What’s a fox to this?
@south bronze Depends on what games your trying to record. I have the same graphics card as you. It's an entry-level graphics card meaning you won't be able to stream/record all games due to your computer not being able to handle them. I've tried it. Minecraft, Roblox, and Small Games like Stardew Valley work for recording with little lag. But if you start recording big games that require a lot of graphics. I'm sorry to say it will not work. Examples: GTAV, Sims 4, Heavy Shooting Games. From personal experience I have struggled to record the majority of games on Steam due to the Intel HD Graphics 620 not being enough to handle it. Do note that I have a Intel Core i7 and 16GB RAM. So I imagine the situation will be more difficult for you since you have less processing power. What really makes the difference in recordings is your Graphics Card. I can play some games just fine, but once I start recording. It starts buffering and lagging like crazy. So again, it depends on what kind of games your trying to record.
I am having a real issue. I have a 4k pro. I couldn't get any signal. I tried restarting the computer and deactiving and reactivating the card.
I tried unistalling the drivers as per some of the advice and now the drivers won't reinstall.
Does anyone have any advice?
You have it in USB 3.0 port?
What about streaming a console with the use of that laptop for OBS purposes?
@wicked latch
I don't plan on playing with my laptop. I just want it to get the capture and process it with OBS.
@south bronze I can only speak in regards to PC, since I tested it before. But I don't have a console so unfortunately I can't give a clear answer on that. I imagine the situation would be similar. But that's just my guess. I would suggest looking online for Intel 620 Graphics card verified tests against a console for a definite answer.
Quick question, having audio drift with Elgato 4k60 and haven't been able to sort the issue in a week of attempts in obs studio, if I were to buy a mixer could I simply bypass this issue entirely?
Haven't had an Elgato internal card that works with reccomended settings yet so need a fix that doesn't include it
Oh. By your statement, I really thought Elgato would make it less stressful for the system to process the streaming. Thank you for your input.
so I guess nobody can point out my problem? 
The HD60s does make it less stressful but it's NOT an insane amount to the point where you can play every single game no problem. Recording performance mainly depends on Graphics Card in my opinion. Elgato helps but you need the PC to support the game as well.
Will the Elgato software use the main GPU? Or the render/dedicated?
It is a 4k Pro, it plugs into a PCIe slot
You have all your devices set to a definition your monitor can support right?
4k60 for me sometimes just bumps it into something my monitor can't support, then gives no signal due to it
Hello , Any new ? /
How do I check that?
Currently I am back at can't see device because the drivers won't install
Plug source directly into a monitor, set it to something you know your monitor can do, then plug it back into the cap card, as for the driver issue I have no clue but that's just a no signal issue I encountered
Sadly no. None of that troubleshooting was able to resolve the issue and neither did the test version they sent me. They say they have been unable to duplicate the issue and said they’re looking into it still but it might be a long while before there is a further update.
I am using my switch on a 1080p screen
Didn't know that sorry so shouldn't be able to help, assuming everything on pc is set to 1080p of course, sorry for hurting in
Hey, I'm having trouble with my stream deck. Every time I restart my computer I have to disconnect twitch and re add it to my stream deck. If I dont' I cant use functions like posting chat messages. Any ideas on how to fix this so that I dont have to reconnect it each time? I have checked the box to stay logged in for 30 days
Morning guys - I have just had to return my work Windows laptop and am now setting up a replacement Mac and it seems from my initial searching that there is no GoXLR software for MacOS - can this be true?
Sad :(
Definitely. In the interim wait, I've had to reinstall Windows from scratch and I decided to no restore my Streamdeck backup and recreated just my live stream controls. I haven't connected my YouTube account. 😦
any idea how to fix the ps5 audio missing with the hd60s +?
Hey Dutch and @quiet linden . I just wanted to say thank you for your help yesterday. I ordered the chat link cable as you suggested and managed to fix my audio delay issue. I just need to fine tune it so it doesn't deafen me but its loud enough on stream 😂 . Thanks for your help and patience
Hello, I am trying to reinstall the elgato stream deck software and I am getting this error message
Erf
Question, my friend just recently purchased the HD60s and for some reason, he is unable to record footage from his games. The timer at the bottom of the screen remains at 00:00:00 even after hitting the record button and fails to save after selecting end recording. Any thoughts or fixes would be appreciated!
I thought maybe his current capture card could be the problem, but I'm unsure
@torn meteor If updating the drivers and getting the capture card with most recent updates doesn't fix the issue for you, it's best to raise a ticket with the support team
@south bronze check the installation path, it defaults to where the program is saved, which for most users is likely the C:/ drive, dedicated for Windows
anyone know why my wave link hates me? the pc knows the various things like wavelink system , wavelink browser etc exsist but the software just randomly decides to sometimes say "connect mic" even though it is and has been in numberous USB slots and when it does decide to work it does this
just endless "music" inputs and before it did say headphones endlessly but for some reason it just decided it liked showing music more
[2:17 PM]
and if i pick one it does this
np gve me a dm for fine tuning your obs settings
@suurin thanks I'll have him check to see if that's the issue
Does anyone know if you can put the phone grip so the phone is vertical not horizontal or does it not have the weight to support it
Ahh, I completely forgot about the chat link. Since I’m on Xbox, I don’t need it
Do you happen to have another device that has usb 3.0?
Try to get in contact with support again, tell them your elgato doesn’t work with multiple PCs
If he used them on multiple PCs that won’t help
I got the stream deck and Im using it for my music playlist on YT and it will let me use the Next Track key on one song but then it wont let me use Next Track or Previous Track once ive changed to another song
for some reason my 4k60 pro mk2 isn't pushing any audio into OBS???
I have an GoXLR but I hear the game thru my soundbar but OBS isn't picking it up...
You get audio in 4KCU?
If you want to pull the audio directly from the 4K60 Pro into OBS you can open the source properties and at bottom of the window will be a checkbox to use custom audio device. Select it an a dropdown will appear below it. Set this dropdown to the 4K60 Pro and you should be getting the basic HDMI audio.
I'm afraid I can't be of much help if you're routing through the GoXLR. There's to much variability in user configuration and I'm not the most familiar with the device.
Should be fine vertical. The Phone Grip has a fair amount of clamping pressure.
@cunning latch Yes I hear it on my PC thru my soundbar just fine. It randomly decides to not pick up in OBS Studio.
@sudden lily I did not see any "Elgato" option in that dropdown when I looked.
This often means it's unable to begin the encoding process. Go into GCHD Preferences on the top right, then the advanced tab, and then try changing the encoder and decoder to some other selection.
So the Soundbar is playing audio from the PC by default. It's your "speakers" for the PC.
4K Capture Utility when playing back the audio? But you're hearing this audio when running OBS, but OBS is not showing it capturing audio from the card?
Well yes and no. The GoXLR uses "Broadcast Stream Mix" for stream audio so you can exclude some software if you want.
If the issue remains with different computers, and another cable doesn't help, then that's definitely where I'd take this to an email ticket so we can collect logs from the system. If needed, we'll look into replacing it. http://e.lga.to/help
This is a rare issue. For whatever reason, it seems the file is named improperly. The file normally has an underscore between "Stream" and "Deck". You may need to rename the file to remove that underscore.
I think you should remove the GoXLR from the equation, at least temporarily. Audio can be very complicated to troubleshoot on our end due to so many variables. I'm not sure what your setup is. But if audio is coming into 4KCU like it should, but in OBS then getting some logs from a test session would be very useful.
Ok that's weird as that is the original file and I did not adjust it
But I will try it tonight
This is worth emailing us about: http://e.lga.to/help
Especially since it's not working on multiple USB ports and windows reinstall.
Yea If I recall it's an issue with the updater, not the downloaded file.
If I did that I would hear nothing. I have no other way to hear things on my pc.
Yeah that's weird, I was just doing this because it stopped allowing me to adjust the stream deck at all, only the tiles I had down were useable and couldn't adjust them
I went ahead and reported this again to our Stream Deck devs again just now.
I just got an El gato HD60s and I can't hear my game sound
How do I route the sound from el gato to my PC so I can hear the game through my headphones?
Thank you
Just to clarify, had you already opened a ticket about this specific problem? I want to make sure that if you do that it's still open and being looked at.
I'm no longer active in here because my responsibilities on Twitter and Facebook are much more the last 6 months.
If you'd prefer to DM me about this I can followup with you there.
Brilliant thanks for the help
I have not, I was live when the issue started so I wanted a quick resolve, but I gave up on being live today cause of the issues.
will do @cunning latch ty for you response
Are you dual pc streaming or console streaming (if console tell what type)
So maybe a dumb question here but if Im using the capture card can it only stream my whole screen or can it be set to capture only the game Im playing?
Like can I just send my game signal over to the streaming PC and not everything? Its kinda wonky looking tabbing out and checking my other monitor
@proven elm the capture card captures everything output through said hdmi
I'm still having a 'No Signal' problem with my 4k pro Mk 1.
I have tried all the normal troubleshooting steps and nothing seems to have worked.
Support isn't getting back to me.
Does any one have any ideas how to make it work?
I have the 4K 60 S+ connected to my PS5/portable 4K monitor. it is currently emitting two blinking red lights. Is this normal?
Actually, does the 4K 60 S+ support Micro SD card inside a SD adaptor?
Fixed it. Apparently, the 4k 60 can not read a 1 TB SD card.
need streaming help
i did a speed tests and im using nearly half the bitrate and still blurry pic lol
😦
can someone tell me bitrate requirements for different quality and such
it's so hard to do
@idle nexus https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/
I have a confusing issue. Bought a stream deck XL a couple months ago and everything was working fine until now. When I plug in the device to my computer the binded sounds etc. are working but somehow the mic stop recognizing my voice as if not hearing me, complete cut off.
What resolution do you want to stream in and what platform
And what is your upload speed
anyone need help?
is it fixed it yet?
still need help?
Hello, im wondering if any one could help ? i have a hd60 pro and the gameplay is amazing its just the audio is delayed, im wondering is there any settings i need to change...
Are you listening to the audio on your pc or your console?
Pc, though i would rather the audio come through my head set than console headphones
There Will always be a delay if you listen through your pc
Lol damn, its been bugging me for the last few hours, well in that case i will have to set it up differently, thank you
Just listen to your game through your controller headphone Jack
Cant do that with a switch one i think
what is your setup?
So you are playing on the switch?
yea
I was already helping him...
my bad.
If you attach headphones or a headset to the Nintendo Switch while it is in the Nintendo Switch Dock, then audio will not pass through to the HDMI output. That means that audio will not reach your Elgato Game Capture HD60 S, or the passthrough TV or display.
This is due to how the Nintendo Switch is designed. Only Nintendo can fix that issue.
If you remove your headset or headphones, then the problem will go away.
-elgato website
@clear pasture does your tv/monitor have an headphone Jack?
No
Elgato sells a cable that plugs into the headphone jack of your device, your headphones and the analog port on the capture card itself @clear pasture
This should fix your audio delay
You just need to switch audio to analog on the elgato
Can someone help me figure out how to get voicemod on my streamdeck? Every time I try to install it loads and then says install again.
i can give it a try. voicemad and streamdeck is installed right? dont ou see voicemod in the streamdeck or dont you see it at all?
Yes both are installed. I go into more actions on my streamdeck software to download the voicemod plugin and it won't download.
have you tried it do download it directly from the voicemod website?
I didn't know you could.
try and let me you know if it works or not.
Will do. Thank you.
i followed the instructions here for my HD60 S to connect headphones to my PS4 and still record audio, the capture card isn't picking anything up, the headphones are the only output for audio
Everything i can find online tells me to follow the same steps and still nothing works
If anyone could help me out, you'd save me a lot of stress. If you stream, you've already done this
you need to output your ps4 settings to hdmi out. also if you want still listening with your headset on your ps4 and record your game sound you need a chatlink
can you hang in here for a second while I mess with that?
sure 🙂
open up your obs or capture softwarre
k, im there
does it regonize the sound?
while all my chat link stuff is disconnected, yes
works normal if im not using a headset
give me a sec
alright, here's a roadblock, im setting my capture up on a Windows PC (to make sure there isn't some Mac failure), and the microphone input isn't capturing.
Yeah, just throwing more info out, ill mess with that in the meanwhile
how you stream with obs or something else?
ive been using the elgato software
alright. so your audio output settings are set as hdmi out?\
yes
what are your settings in the cature software?
Audio Input: HDMI Audio (Game Capture)
with the Chatlink you're supposed to change that to Analog Audio, and its that simple, but that's not working
have you tried the analog audio in the capture card softare?
yes, when I select that option, that's when the capture card stops picking up audio
is the chatlink connected to the capture card or your ps4?
take your time.
the shorter, singular input of the chatlink is plugged into the PS4 controller
The female split end has my headset plugged into it
The male split end is plugged into the HD60 S
Capture card hears nothing
I can now hear sound in the headphones
can you make a screenshot of your capture device settings?
that shoudl be fine. canyou start a game or play music on ur console?
I can, there is ambient music on that current screen
The capture card can't hear it, the audio is only going into the headphones
in Sound and Screen settings?
that sounds new, could be it, but i don't see that option
What do you have your audio output on your console set as
argh, damn, im pressing my time and ive really got to go.
Ill be back in 10 minutes, hopefully someone's still around by then
audio ouput is HDMI OUT
You don’t want it as hdmi out if you are using a chat link
im back, anyone here?
what would i want, there's only DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
Plug a headset in to your controller
its in
Any sound?
yes
Connect the chatlink how you would
the shorter, singular input of the chatlink is plugged into the PS4 controller
The female split end has my headset plugged into it
The male split end is plugged into the HD60 S
It should look like this (replace switch with controller obviously)
yes, that is how it is
Any sound through elgato?
capture card gets nothing
audio still coming into the headset
for reference, i followed all the steps on this link https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028240451-How-do-I-use-Chat-Link-with-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-
So audio is set to analog and still have it issues
yes
that's as good as a loss in my book, ha
ill do it of course
hey, something happened... but its very quiet
Can you turn up to volume?
its already really loud in the headset, i just went live to see how the audio sounds on stream
Sounds normal, but its really unstable
think the stability is a separate issue though. Im trying an older PC because it was Windows instead of Mac
Through the program not on the console
that would probably work too.
I think ive got it, now im going to try to go back to the Mac though to fix the stream choppiness, and hopefully this should work
its not working, details in a second
Can you show a screen shot with the audio tab open?
most likely, something about Mac is messed up, because that's how it always is
Yeah, 1 sec
You might have to bring up the gain if you haven’t yet
just did, +12
Its not a volume thing anymore, i switched setups, because the other computer cant stream a stable connection, and the Mac isn't hearing anything at all
its not muted
Ok
im going back to the Windows PC, that's the only one that made progress, hold on
ah, maybe restarting the PS4 again actually, since i switched setups
Possibly
If they doesn’t work
Do you happen to have an Aux cable to plug in your phone to the elgato
Maybe the port is just broken
i do actually
Try it
Yes
and phone sound should be getting picked up on the capture, instead of PS4 game sounds
If analog is set, correct
Im just seeing if the capture card can detect sound from a different device
yeah, if you could try the same, or confirm this same sound test would work on another HD60 S, that'd be pretty conclusive
I currently don’t have access to mine at the moment. Someone on Reddit said to try it
gotcha
Any luck?
theres an update on the Windows PC for elgato, that could change something but im doubtful
I also need to mess with OBS on both systems and pray maybe something there works
If all else fails, contact support. The port might be defective
@viral gyro last thing you could try is obs
but sound was coming through on the Windows PC
So you have sound now?
so it is functioning... on some level anyways.
No, because it was all choppy
What audio settings are on the PS4,
i think i can fix the choppiness, but only on the Mac, but the Mac doesnt get any audio at all, so it's just trash unless this unless this update does something
Gimme a sec, i need to try this update now that its done
yes
alright, it works, but:
- there's a ringing in the background
- the same setup doesnt work on my Mac, and i cant stream off this other old computer
- whenever the el gato is plugged into my Windows PC, the PC won't output audio for me to monitor it (I need to check out my stream on a different computer to listen to the capture)
- and for some reason, probably a separate issue, my CAD Audio mic is registered as a device in the software, Commentary is turned on, but its not picking up any sound, as there is no blinking light indicating its recording anything
in short, it's a god damn mess, and i think ive had it for today, ive been at this for hours 😅
Does anyone have any recommendations for USB 3.0 C to A type adapters? (example pictured below)
It's for Video Capture as well, so that's a bigger priority
hmmm... mac doesnt work windows does? How old is the laptop? maybe the hardware is limited
anything is fine. aslong the usb support 3.0 or higher
hey everyone just got the Wave 3. Its plugged in to a USB 3.0 go the software installed but Wave Link says. Connect Wave Microphone... any help on this?
have you tried other usb ports?
yessir. tried every port
i had everything working for the last week. and now today nothing
So there is no way of downloading the plugin from the site @magic onyx.
I need help with my stream deck Every time I restart my PC i have to reconnect my stream deck to my twitch account. Any fixes for this? This is a new problem since I had to reinstall windows.
Yes
Have you tried using the mic with any other software to see if the mic is working? Just so you can rule out that it’s not your USB ports or your mic?
I have been streaming for a bit. The quality is meh, but not super shit, but it has a bit of blur and such which makes is sorta bad to look at. I have settled with Software as the GPU one is not viable with the RTX games i play and other demanding titles fighting for GPU power against streamlabs. i stream at 720p 30fps with 3000 bitrate set, my speeds are at 4.10 UPLOAD. However, my stream alternates between 2500 - 3000, then drops around 3000 and then can go lower than 2000 if it gets THAT bad. I am wondering if i can get a consistent speed with a better wifi card than this tp link usb one or just use ethernet. I am in the process of changing my speeds, but i could be waiting until June sadly. if there's a lower quality setting that i can do, please recommend something i can until i can switch networks. As you can see, my quality is bad when i'm playing - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/974718100
I do try auto optimize on Streamlabs OBS sometimes, but that's the worst since it sets poor bitrates for higher quality and such, i don't try it as i have heard it doesn't work, so i just use my own settings. Here are my current speeds at the moment - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/387757116401778689/828111299136585748/unknown.png
My specs - RTX 3060 AORUS MASTER 8gb, Ryzen 5600x, G.skill 16x2 Trident Neo 3600 mhz. This is not the bottleneck to my streams as i DON'T receive any dropped frames after switching to Software from NVEC, NVEC is not viable as i said due to the demanding games i play and it taxes hard on my PC.
This is also my current settings for 720p 30 fps steaming - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/387757116401778689/828112177721376768/unknown.png
Any help is greatly appreciated. I bought a streamdeck, i just hope i get to use it LMAO.
yeah it was working with StreamLabs. the Wave app was acting weird. ever since i installed it my computer has been acting up. im doing a full windows reinstall later
I'm having an issue installing voice mod on my Stream Deck. I have everything installed and up to date but the Stream Deck keeps sending me to the voicemod download page. Any ideas on how to get the 2 linked together?
Also, i need help with something else brothers
Which elgato do i get to stream on my switch
nintendo switch
Hello! Honestly, anything from an HD60 on up will be good for the Nintendo Switch!
because switch streaming is the only thing i can do considering my massive problem i posted above
I haven't used the Wave Link app much, even when I stream. I just use my Wave 3 as a Mic In. Are you trying to mix your audio with the Wave Link app for streaming?
What streaming software are you using?
hello! I have an issue I was wondering if anyone else has encountered and, if so, how I can fix it? I just bought the 4k60 pro mk 2 a week or so ago and I have a weird issue. If I open the capture utility I can see whatever console I have attached just fine. Have no issues there etc, however, the SECOND I try to start streaming (be it on discord or on twitch), the capture utility starts flashing NO SIGNAL and back to my game on and off. Further, while streaming, it will also say NO SIGNAL on occasion, and pop back up with the screen kind of cut in half? like the right 1/8th of the screen will show up on the left side of my capture utility screen. my specs are ryzen 5 3600x, 16GB 3200 RAM, RTX 3070.
After watching the VOD from Twitch that you linked, it looks perfectly fine for 720p. The little blur you see is the video being at 720p and not at 1080p. The setting look fine, although if you wanted, you could set it from Advanced to Simple and just use the optimized settings from SLOBS.
As for your connection, I would recommend using an ethernet cable. You could run one from your wireless router to your PC. Check the speeds with the ethernet cable before you go and try to up your speeds by switching to a higher internet tier with your ISP.
it happens with ps5, xbox series x, and nintendo switch, so basically every console I have
it's fine? ur sure ???
and again, this only happens when I click "start stream" on either discord or OBS
I have it open, watching you play Minecraft and it looks fine
For sure! But again, I would check your internet speeds using an ethernet cable connection before you try to upgrade.
Will this cable be better? https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00QV1F160/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AJ0L91KOBUX7C
hey, i have a question with my Elgato 4k cam link and the Sony a7iii. I am having a delay issue on obs and the mic is not synced with the video. Any idea how to fix?
An ethernet cable will always be better than using WiFi. Definitely give an ethernet cable a try!
okay
Any ethernet cable should be fine, I see the ones you linked are out of stock
i just added it
And maybe in ur amazon region it might be
wholey shit i doxed mysrelf
im in aus and its instock here
oml bro i am dum,b
Alright so since your tech issue seems to be resolved, let's move over to #general
Need some more setup suggestions. Does anyone know if there's any decent mousepads that work well with a big setup, the razer one is too rough for the surface of the dark core SE
The long-awaited LTT Desk Pad is HERE!!! Featuring a dynamic and colorful "Northern Lights" design on the left, and a clear mousing area on the right. Surface: Soft Smooth Micro-texture ClothBase: 3.5mm Non-slip eco-friendly natural rubber baseEdge: Anti-fray stitching Sizes: All LTT Northern
Yes. Because that was what I bought it for lol
I only ask cause if you use Streamlabs OBS, you can mix the audio to the levels you want in there anyways.
can anyone help with my signal issue?
Yeah but I wanna listen to music while streaming lol. And if I wanna mute discord chat I can
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07XB6VNLJ/ref=crt_ewc_title_srh_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB can this only capture 1080p?
i dont mind a
can it capture nintendo switch ??
Yes
Just tested a few more things: I have an HDMI splitter and switcher and a variety of cables and testing has shown that no matter what combination of cables/length/splitter or no/switcher or no, I still wind up with a flashing NO SIGNAL and some weird video issues if I try. I have changed the output settings in the software, tried removing drivers and reinstalling, all no go
issue persists on series x, ps5, and nintendo switch, which is all the consoles i currently own
the HD60 pro had zero issue with any of these as well, aside from the lowered resolution
My wave link is missing the SFX input
which hdmi splitter do you use?
is your problem fixed already?
You could uninstall and reinstall the software 
What does the 4k cam link do? Does it make a 1080p camera output 4k as a webcam?
when i plug in my Wave 3 its popping up with an error saying not enough resources
do you have neough usb ports or memory?
yes. the computer is brand new. just built it. 3070. 3600XT, 32GB 3200mhz ram. 650PSU.
it works fine with discord and streamlabs
so your wavelink works with discord and streamlabs?
and if you replug your wve mic what it does then?
nothing.
i tried every usb port. every post gave the same error. Not enough resources
i even unplugged. Webcam, Keyboard, Stream Deck, Astro Commandcenter. and a External HDD
try what?
open C:\Program Files\Elgato\WaveLink\Firmware\DriverSetup there is a file called ucore. run that as Admin and it will uninstall the WaveLink Drivers. then ran setup.exe and it reinstall everything. After that, reboot PC
i did\
relaunch software
Reboot BRB
sure
reinstall the software
best route for that?
uninstall first? lol sorry just making sure im doing steps right
yes uninstall first then install as new
np:) any further questions? 😛
yeah. how can i get this mic to not pic up the tv 5 feet away from me? lol
people hear that in your stream?
no but in discord they do
stream filters i got down
ive been resulting in using my headset mic just for discord
ahh. there are filters for background noises etc..
in discord?
wavelink
Low cut filter yeah i turned that on
still have the issue?
hmmm you can try voicemod or RTX voice
i was trying to not have to use those 😦
but i guess i can manage using headset mic. not that big of a deal to me
i appreciate the time you took to help
would be cool to be able to give someone plus points lol
it would right jaja
what is MOTM?
haha yeah 3 was the best i found it lol
Nice. but audio filters alone with wavelink self isnt an option yet. so you have to do with 3th parties software
which would you recommend?
personally, i would use rtx. but just only for background filter. you can use voicemod. but its limited
ok. ill have to check it out
alright. if you need help just le tme know
sounds good
i need help getting it to my xbox 360
getting what?
the capture card
whih oen do you have
hd60s
what is exact the problem?
try this first:
https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028238671-Xbox-360-and-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-setup-
setup it correctly and the settings aswell
ok i will
It’s an Orei 1 in 2 out splitter but my issue persists even without it. I have tried directly connecting consoles to the card and the only time I experience the No Signal flashes is when I broadcast.
Did it ever worked fine?
it worked thank you
Since I got it, no. Never while broadcasting. Works fine if I just have OBS/capture utility open on my computer. The second I hit broadcast it’s like “lol, no”
Great! Glad it works. Any further questions?:)
no its fine
Oh! On both 4k/obs it crashes? Is the capture card new or second?
Brand new, bought it from Best Buy like 2-3 weeks ago
I gtg I help you in a hour ok?
Sure
Hi, I know this is not related to elgato but I thought I would ask here. Any idea why my alt tab key and windows key have stopped working? Any help would be appreciated
back
wasup, which part doesnt work?
Nothin to do with Elgato but ima still help, what keyboard do you have? 
Royal Kludge, I fixed it by pressing FN and A but thank you for offering anyways
Cool. At this point with everything I have tried I am leaning more towards a defective card
Was about to say that! Good job you fixed it yourself
@south bronze
Cuz like, I get signal no problem until I try to stream or share screen
@sonic snow sorry, @magic onyx if I’m interfering, but,
Does it just not display on your monitor, or in OBS for example as well?
No, my issue is that it displays perfectly fine on my monitor or tv AND in the software... until I try to share screen or stream
Ok, I misread.
Is this only on discord and twitch for example?
For example: sat on discord with friends the other night across the room from tv. Wanted to play Xbox so opened capture utility so I could just mirror it on my pc monitor. Played for hours, no issue. Second I try to share screen on discord, No Signal
np.
Same deal with if I try twitch streaming
you cant share screen and use capture card software at the same time
Yes, what @magic onyx said
Uhhh since when? Discord allows you to choose a screen/application to mirror
Friends do it routinely
I did it just fine with the hd 60 pro
Only ran into this issue with the 4k60 pro
But again, that’s not what my issue is. My issue is that I literally can’t stream without the card losing signal when otherwise it works fine
Hm
I have tested it without streaming and not once did I get a no signal flash or anything
brain wiring noises
lmao
Like for hours. I’ve tried tons of different cables/setups etc and I’m pulling my hair out lol
bulk can you open up your obs and go to logs and upload it online? Also what are you pc specs?
Yea, you may need more ram to run it
I’ve got a Ryzen 5 3600x, 16GB 3000 MHz RAM, RTX 3070
Ok that is not the problem, specs wise
Yeah I figured lol
My brainnnnn I’ve not done this Elgato helping for monthsssss
i help you :p
Yeah it’s no problem, I’m just leaning towards a defect at this point considering all I’ve done. Spent a solid 4 hours tinkering last night
can you check for the obs log @sonic snow
It’s an 4k60 pro right?
Yeah mk 2
Mk
Ok, this may not be the problem || it prob isn’t || but maybe swap it to a different slot on the motherboard
When I helped people a few months ago with similar problems, this fixed it
Well the problem there is that I’ve only got two slots where it can feasibly get slotted? I’ve got an MSI X570-A mobo
Is the other slot being used?
Yeah by my gpu lol
Lmaoo
I’m out here peeling sweet potatoes rn so if I am slow to respond it’s because my hands are sticky as hell
I’m guessing you’ve used different cables?
LMAOO
All good
Yeah I’ve tried pretty much every combination of cable I have and different lengths and direct connection etc and still it hates me lol
Ok, I guessed you did
So is the problem:
Your just by urself: fine
Your trying to stream/ screen share: nah I’m not gonna work
Yes
Have you tried uninstalling the driver/ software?
bro i jsut got stream deck on my mobile phone and I dont know how to download stream deck on my pc for the code does enyone know how to download it??
@fathom pilot You would need to download the software from the Elgato site
Let me pull it up real quick
how? I don't see a download link @misty sonnet
Of course! Happy to help 
Ugh I hate when I cant helppppp
This used to always happen when I did this everyday
Ok so @sonic snow , you may wanna head to http://e.lga.to/help and make a support ticket as i seriously have no idea whats wrong, appart from the obvious stuff
Unless anyone knows the problem
Sorry I didnt help much, I have never seen a problem like this for ages 
Ok i need to shower ill prob be back after
You’re fine I appreciate all the help!
I'm using the Elgato Stream Deck and a PC (Windows 10 Home) and keep getting this error 87 message - any idea what I need to do to fix it? I've uninstalled and reinstalled it 2x and also tried running the program as an admin.
Im about to shower, but after i can help, if nobody helps 1st!
When are you getting the error
got it solved with es gaming?
When is the message displaying?
I’m guessing it’s when you run the program... when was the last time you shut down for 5 hours or more? @rancid gazelle
Or his graphics drivers could be out of date according to the internet
It’s when ever u turn on my pc. The stream deck also shows my the logo and doesn’t show my profiles or anything that I had set up before
Unlikely @quiet linden
So how do you know it’s your stream deck?
Because the Elgato program shows up on the tool bar when the message pops up
Ah, smart
Also happens when I try to open the program
When was the last time you shut down for 5+ hours?
Lol no, neither of us could figure it out so I will be filing a support ticket
Yea, sorry bout that
When was the last time you shut down for 5+ hours?
Last night
Ok, has this problem been happening for ages, or just recently?
It’ll work sometimes then not others - I’ve tried figuring out if it’s when other apps are running but cant seem to figure out a consistent reason.
Does the stream deck still work, after the message has shown?
So, im using the streamlabs mobile deck and my deck shows a green error triangle. What's wrong?
What key? Everything? Or a certain one? 
Ok, you need OBS open for that to work
oh, what about the audio ?
What do you mean?
some of my audios have the green triangle as well
Ayo I need help with my Wave 3
When I plug my headset into the headset port on the Wave 3, I only hear the sound on the right side. I tried the same with a different headset but unfortunately I had the same problem!
the app?
Your computer
today
When did I last shut down for 5 hours or more
Yes, and if it still doesn’t work, try reinstalling the software
You may want to try cleaning the headphone port 
Okay I try it
With a Vacuum cleaner? Idk how beacause its so small xD
@lapis nebula do what @quiet linden said, or you could use a can of compressed air (** only if you have it, don’t buy it if you don’t have it at this point**) and spray that into it
No :/
Did you clean it?
hey, i have a question with my Elgato 4k cam link and the Sony a7iii. I am having a delay issue on obs and the mic is not synced with the video. Any idea how to fix?
You can set a delay
click on on of the gear wheel icons in the main OBS window, where the volume sliders are and open the advanced audio options
I need a fix without a delay so I can use my camera on discord, zoom and everything else
Oh
So I'm trying to get my PS4 to work on OBS again (DCHP is turned off) I dno why but last time I tried it it was working, now it refuses to. Both my PS3 and PS5 still work though
When I unplug my PS4 at the power cable and plug it back in, it shows for like 5 seconds while checking storage, then instantly goes off again
anyone got any idea
what changed last?
@quiet linden
Yep, shows on its own
Is it showing video on your tv that’s what I meant
Just not when It's connected to my 4K60
Worked last time I used it though and not touched anything since
Maybe a update caused some settings to change
I dno what settings it could be though
since the only one I thought you needed off was DHCP
how do I check? It's a normal ps4 so I'd assume 1920x1080?
I meant what’s it outputting, 4K or 1080p (I don’t have a PS4 but I’m assuming you can see this)
I'll check
HDR and HDCP are already off
resolution is 1080p
If I unplug it while its on and then it starts checking my storage it'll appear while it's doing it
but as soon as it goes back to the actual PS4 is disappears again
Maybe Turn of hdmi encryption
isn't that just HDCP
No idea at this point
what are your video output settings?
Resolution 1080p
RGB Range Automatic
HDR Off
Deep Colour Output Off
why does my streamdeck soundboard go through discord using a virtual audio cable but not through games?
set settings to automatic(resolution)
You might have to set the virtual mic to default
hdmi device link is enabled?
no, but it wasnt before and it worked 
my virtual cable is my default, anything else?
just try,
In said game, make sure the virtual mic is its input
still nothing
And it cant be my hdmi cable either
since it works on ps3 and 5
and it shows for like 5 seconds upon checking hdd
Just tried my PS3 and works straight off the bat
Might just give up, theres nothing on it on the internet anywhere
ps4 has a thing that the hdmi port broke very fast. it maybe could be that
Yeah but like, it works when checking HDD after you unplug it while its on
it just stops working after that 
try use ps4 without elgato
It works fine without the elgato
alright. try other hdmi cable
I don't have any other ones 
I suppose I'll just leave it
hope it randomly starts working again
Hi. I have an Elgato Camlink 4K that has stopped working. Tried other usb ports, HDMI cables and deleted/reinstalled software. Tried new BIOS. Tried updating firmware as last resort. Just got a message that it already has newest firmware.. My cam is the Sony A5100. Any tips?
Can you try it on a different pc?
Hey Everyone,
Been trying to find a solution for a while and I can't seem to find one and was hoping someone could help. My gaming PC has a 5120x1440 monitor. I have a HDMI cable from that 3090 to my Elgato 4k m2 capture care in my streaming computer. However, when I mirror the displays, my main monitor (the 49" 5120x1440), looses all resolution and decreases it to 1920x1080. How can I keep my gaming monitor at its resolution while the game capture remains at 1920x1080?
Thank you 🙂
In the 4K capture utility, it should allow you to change capture resolution
But the capture card might not support that resolution
I’m afraid it might be the fact the capture card can’t support that. However, shouldn’t there be a way I only send 1920x1080 to the streaming pc?
If I keep it on “extend monitor”, it works. However, when I put it on duplicate, it doesn’t
I see
And when I do that, my gaming pc drops from 5180x1440 to 3820x1440
And that’s the highest it will go
I
Let me go try that now.
Duplicated will resort to the lowest resolution both “monitors” support
Understood. Let me try what you just sent.
I’m not sure if that will work, but it’s worth a try
Doesn't seem to work
When I enable the option, my gaming monitor just goes black
Anytime I try to "duplicate" it, I loose my main monitors resolution
decided to do a little more tinkering as I had to pull the 4k60 pro out to get the part number and popped the old HD 60 back in and yeah, that works fine. Not a single issue with it so I am at the point now where I am pretty much 99% certain it's a defective card. Thank you again for all the help today!
good evening, i have elgato 4k60 pro, i connected it to the xbox series X and PC, when i open the 4K utility capture i only hear the sound, but the screen is black, help would be much appreciated.
ok im having more issues with the Wave Link software
System isnt working for audio
it shows everythign is playing but i hear nothing
@magic onyx you here by chance?
ok so. i guess just getting mad and cursing at it and changing the monitor mix 5 times made it work
^^ wish my problem could have been solved like that lol
is there a way to use a function on my stream deck to do a few things A) be able to resume the last scene from a brb screen. rather than a specific scene but a way of the stream deck or obs streamlabs knowing which one was the last scene and hook into that as a function.
B) be able to do automatic shoutout commands upon receiving a raid.
So grateful to have been suggested to this discord... really hoping someone can help me!
I stream on Twitch from my newer macbook pro but I use Bootcamp to run Windows... so my mac functions like a PC and I stream all my programs through windows, but all of my accessories I plugged into HUBS and the hubs plug into my USB-C ports on my laptop (quirky... i know)
my camlink 4k and my HD60S+ just stopped working the other day... they show up as "options" on OBS (my streaming program) but the screen remains black... or my PS5 shows up but freezes immediately.
I tried undownloading and redownloading the elgato capture program and that did nothing, I've always switched around plugins, ports, and cords like crazy. I even tried it on my OS (not windows) and that did not either.
I've been streaming for 5+ months with only minimal connectivity issues on occasion (I just have to replug in cord or something simple to fix) ... I don't know if I need to buy a new hub or my ports aren't working right but everything else I plug into my hubs works fine but obvi doesnt take up as much power....
PLEASE HELP! I just ran out of unemployment money and I am using streaming money to save up to buy a car so I can start delivery driving or drive to get a job (I just had to move back in with my parents because COVID and now I'm in the burbs with no car!) so this tech problem is hurting me on an emotional stress level beyond just the normal annoyance and stress of tech issues... I want to love elgato but finding troubleshooting ideas has been VERY DIFFICULT... please help 😦
Ok, good work in doing the fixing yourself! 
Hey! I didn’t read all your messages cause I’ve got a mental issue so I can’t read long messages cause my attention spans short, butttttt
It could be because it IS in a hub. Can you try using it without one? 
And do the ports work with other devices (E.G. a wired keyboard?) 
Hey! That is a StreamLabs OBS issue, not an HD60 issue.
I don’t know much about StreamLabs as I only use normal OBS.
You may just wanna uninstall and reinstall StreamLabs 
A) Can you simply it for me please (sorry!) 
B) Yes! But it’s noting to do with StreamDeck... in StreamLabs OBS you can make a popup to say that!

Hey! Have you tried:
Changing its place on the motherboard
Changing the cable/ making sure they are in well?

@paper shell Hey! I hope Viper has managed to fix your problem, if not...
When you press WINDOWS + P and press duplicate.. it ‘squeezes’ it, correct? 
Hi @compact warren Sadly, no. I think its because the capture card does not recongize my resolution. But yes, it squeezes it.
I agree with what you think about the capture card... you may want to look in display settings for a bit || @paper shell ||
Thank you for taking the time to read!
My laptop has 4 USB-C ports and that's it. The best I could do it buy 2 individual USB 3 to USB-C ports to plug into the laptop.
The hub and the laptop ports all work properly with internet/HDMI monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc
Ok... can you try using them without a hub/ port? See if that works
I will pick up some individual ports tomorrow and try that! I bought name-brand too just in case.
I sent Elgato a email. Their website said if i had a resolution not supported to email them and they might be able to do a custom EDID profile
Ok! Gl 
Ah ok, we’ll done on doing that 
Hi there!! Guys, I need help plz. I bought HD 60s +, everything was fine for 2 days, but yesterday there were some glitches with sound (I recorded it on video at the end 00 29). What could be the problem? (System: i5, 16gb, 1060, 3.0 / 3.1 ports).
im here
Hey Guys!
So ... I guess this might be a common topic ... but ...
my Wave:3 sets itself to 100% mic sensitivity every (MF) time I start CS:GO ... pls help me 😅
Is the HD60 S+ in a USB port? 
Just when you open CSGO or any game? 
Just CS:GO
Ok.. is CSGO is your mic setting set to full all the time?
Like: in CSGO is your mic setting full?
where are my mic settings in csgo?
I don’t know, sorry, I don’t play CSGO.. just have a look while I finish my walk
well that is the problem ... I cant find any
yes. 3,1 USB.
but now I have returned the Windows settings for 5 days ago. Dont install 4K Elgato soft, Use only OBS and over 40 min its ok...
I'm scared)).
So have you fixed it?
@compact warren no, but im sure its in the correct position because it used to work just not anymore
I think if we get in calls and share screens through discord we can solve alot of the tech issues, just an idea 😀
at now yes, but tomorrow at night i play normally all about 2 hours and today its bugged again. that's why I'm scared anyway. But today i reboot windows (for 5 dasy ago) and dont install 4K Elgato soft. At now (about 1 hour) everything normal.
i hope.
But its strange.
can it be that the official software is guilty of sound glitches? ty. @compact warren
How would i use my elgato capture card for my switch
just realized i might need to buy another attachment ffs
@floral tundra double check the cables are plugged in well... make sure you ping me if it breaks again 
@arctic mist sorry, but I can’t call... but how long have you had the 4k60 pro?
@idle nexus the same way as all other consoles!
how does it work for the switch then
check it 100 times)), with other cables and all. Ok, ty. If tomorrow everything will be ok - its win. But its strange, that 4K Elgato soft is reason to laggg.
Use obs?
now only.
thats all you need
i hope)).
i want a resume to last scene function. and i want an automatic raid shout out using the command i built in stream elements. the raid will automatically come up as a notification yes. but i have a command that will put their channel in the chat but i want it to the command when i get a raid automatically.
i cant see that functionality in the stream deck#
How long is the elgato led light strip
78.74 inches 
Ok for your go back to last scene thing you want to
- Create a multiaction
- Add the scene you want it to change to
- Add a delay
- Add the scene you want to change it back to
i want the stream deck to know what scene i was on last because i might want to resume different scenes from my brb scene
otherwise i have to create mutiple brb functions
There is not a way i know of how to do that but ima think for a sec
Yea; all I can think of is making multiple ones, sorry
hey, i have a corrupted recording from the game capture, and i really need to know if there's any way to recover it. the problem i have is that the audio cuts out at 20 minutes, and i dont know why
is there a way to reassure that the audio file is intact?
or im i just screwed
im screwed arent i
Are there any kind of HDMI splitter that will allow me to hook up an additional monitor to my PC? Most of the ones I'm finding online are for hooking up multiple inputs and a button to switch between them
what are you looking to do?
im assuming he wants to reduce lag while still being able to record his pc
i guess it would work if the splitter doesn't add latency
I want to add an additional monitor, but all the remaining out-ports are not the types I have, and I wanted to turn one HDMI out port into two
(that or find a converter, but I couldn't find the name of the spesific ports)
dvi or vga?
hey, i have a question with my Elgato 4k cam link and the Sony a7iii. I am having a delay issue on obs and the mic is not synced with the video. Any idea how to fix?
what's the difference?
alot
since when do you have thsi issue?
since i got the elgato and the camera
send a pic of your port you want converted
I just looked it up, I have a DVI port and a VGA cable
is there a converter for that?
yes there are dvi to vga adapters
i dont think you cant get out with it. the hgher resolution th emore ltency you have. you need to comprimise that to adjust it in obs.
also you can connect your camera directly to your pc and add it as a source, maybe that helps?
You can set audio delays on OBS
he doesnt want that
Well no way to fix it then
Depends what the format is
.ts and .mp4
if the .ts file from the library is corrupt, then all hope is lost, right
Ayo I need help with my Wave 3
When I plug my headset into the headset port on the Wave 3, I only hear the sound on the right side. I tried the same with a different headset but unfortunately I had the same problem!
I really need help

Yeah

Yeah

hello, i have 4k60 pro elgato connected to my PC+xbox series X, how can i play without recording? i just want to stream it through discord, when i stop the record button in 4K capture utility the game stops untill i record
Does the screen just go black?
no that problem is solved 🙂
it just freezes until i hit record
sorry for the late reply
I can hear nothing I tested it 😦
reinstall the software
you cannot use 4k capture record and share screen on discord at the same time
im streaming right now, its just that if i stop recording the screen freezes, streaming or not
even if discord is closed if i stop recording the screen freezes
You could use obs and set up a virtual webcam
Hi guys! I have my Elgato hooked up to my PS4 as part of my PC streaming set up. When I'm not streaming / recording, just casually offline gaming, is there anyway of being able to "Enable HDCP" on the PS4 so I can listen to Spotify without having to rearrange/unplug cables? I can't seem to "disable/not use" the Elgato whilst maintaining the HDMI cable connection from my PS4 to my monitor..?
I think I asked a "too hard/impossible" question lol
so far my new hubs aren't making a difference. the lights will turn on for my cam link and capture card but nothing shows up in OBS
No, just someone hasn’t asked that before
hello guys,i have some problems with connecting my iphone to pc. Trying to connect with the same wifi and usb(itunes also installed)
i checked all the videos at ur youtube channel,and dindnt found the solution
all apps are installed(iphone/pc)
can u help me?
Fully appreciate that, I wasn't intending to come across as being difficult or mean buddy, apologies! XD
All good
not possible. else you need to listen your game/music from your streaming pc/laptop thats the only way
Thought as much! Would be nice to be able to switch the capture card to "redundant coupler" mode or something. Hopefully next gen take this into account! Thanks 🙂
so i just downloaded the elgato epoccam app and i got the drivers downloaded on the pc, but it's not connecting. I have tried both wifi and USB
np
reinstall drivers/software, reboot pc/iphone
also, the elgato epoccam viewer thing that i had on my old pc isn't showing up either
i did it like 3-4 times)))
I tried that. Didn't work
white screens means its loading. if you tried all that that i cant help you further sorry.
thanks anyway for trying to help
Has anyone else heard of dual-core processor macbook pro's working well with elgato and then not working? just got off the phone with elgato and this is the first I've heard about elgatos only working for a short amount of time
The phone
Corsair has a phone mine?
Also, do you have to use the switch docked the stream with the Elgato
@robust raptor do you have the iTunes app installed (from Microsoft App Store) or do you the one from apples website
I don't remember exactly, but most likely it is from the apple website
This is tech help
The smaller/older dual core Macbook Pros will often throttle after a short period of time since streaming or recording is a very intensive workload for the computer.
Guys, what is the depth of multi mount clamp?
Why does my elgato capture software keep saying i need a 3.0 too connect to it
This is so dumb
i have it connected to a usb and its saying it still needs to be connected LMAO bruh fix ur software
Welp guess imma spend like 3 hours fixing this again
Now im trying to quit the thing and it wont let me LMAO nice software
What do i have to do to get this to stop happening do i have to update some sort of software
nvm fixed it
How did you fix it?
i unplugged some stuff and it fixed it apparently
Well then
Hey friends. I'm having an issue with my HD60 Pro and my Wii.
It's stuck here on "one moment please"
But OBS will display it (Not open at the same time)
Everything else plugged into my HDMI switch works just fine. The Wii used to and then just stopped.
Try to set profile to 720p
And make sure under input device the wii is selected (if available)
Possibly restart the computer
Could this laptop successfully stream using elgato 4k cam link AND the hd 60s+ ? I was using a dual core mac book pro and it’s not working anymore, a friend offered me this old laptop to use till I can afford a PC. I am looking for educated opinions before I have her ship the laptop out to me... thank you!
It's been doing this for days. Restarts haven't helped. I've also reinstalled both the software and drivers
Maybe bring profile down to 480p if that’s possible
No luck there either. It's getting a signal, it's just not displaying it
What is the GPU in there?
And does it have usb 3.0 ports
Your cpu checks out
Ram checks out
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd104068-product-overview-lenovo-flex-3-1480-flex-3-1580
If this this the exact laptop (I searched using the System Model, but double check), then it should work fine. It has two USB 3.0 slots
Yes, Switch must be docked. It uses the HDMI connection...currently I don’t believe there’s any product that plugs into the switch itself to output a video signal
Anyone around want to help me with some Wave Link software issues? I feel way over my head
oop, got my problem solved nevermind lol
Okay
Ok, try without a hub 
Not that I know of sorry! 
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software on both devices?
What device do you have? 
I’m guessing about an inch and a half 
You need a usb 3.0 port for it to work 
No really didnt know and i know that already
Appreciate the reply! I uninstalled and reinstalled it a bunch and eventually I got wifi to work, but USB still doesn’t work for me. That’s better than it not working though 🙂
Do you have any other consoles to test it on? 
Hmm it could get laggy as you have about 4 GB of ram... but everything else looks good! 
GG for sorting it out yourself! 
Have you fixed it? Cause I realised that I’m kinda late since you posted that
Yeah I was worried that the delay would be pretty noticeable over wifi, but to my surprise the latency is great
Mhm! It’s better than you think
yes i fixed it if you scrolled down i said i fixed it
Yes, I did. I was just checking! Well done

Add Stream Mix to OBS Studio
This article covers the steps to add the Wave Link Stream Mix to OBS Studio.
- Launch OBS Studio and open the Settings window.
- Select Audio from the left column
- Select Wave Link Stream ...
@magic onyx I tried to solve my problem for a long time and I succeeded.
UAC must be enabled !!!
win+R -> UserAccountControlSettings -> set the slider to 2 from the top
I think you should add this feature to the installation description.
thanks for the feedback!
yeah, this doesnt work. i can hear audio and the program is set in obs the way its supposed to be, but wave link isnt outputting the audio. seems to be a common issue but there doesnt seem to be a fix.
I’m about to get my ps5!
Does anyone know if setting up my elgato will reduce the quality for me when I set it up with ps5?
Are you saying if you set up your ps5 plugged into the elgato it will bring down the resolution automatically?
