Capture Card Recommendations

I am looking for capture card recommendations for a dual PC setup for both streaming and recording with OBS. My secondary streaming computer is powerful enough to easily handle any streaming/recording that would take place.

I know basically nothing about capture cards but I am tech savvy otherwise to setup OBS. I have two scenarios I would like to cover:

Streaming: Playing at 1440p 280hz and outputting 1080p 60 fps

Recording: Playing at 1440p 280hz and outputting 1440p 60 fps

What capture cards are recommended for these requirements? Also, I’ve heard about pass through but do not know how it works. My gaming computer is connected to a 1440p monitor while my streaming PC is connected to a 1080p monitor. Can I still output 1440p to the streaming PC or does that display also need to be 1440p?

Dear Elgato Support Team, I am writing to request assistance with a hardware issue involving my Stream Deck+ (original version).

Dear Elgato Support Team,

I am writing to request assistance with a hardware issue involving my Stream Deck+ (original version).

There is a noticeable gap in the device casing. I previously contacted support and was told replacement screws would be sent, but I have not received them. At the moment, I am using tape to hold the unit together.

Additionally, when I move my desk or table, the device sometimes powers off unexpectedly. I believe this may be related to the missing or incorrect screws. I did attempt to purchase a replacement screw myself, but I was informed that it is not the correct type.

For context, I am disabled and rely on your products to help me control my computer with one hand. Your devices have been extremely helpful, and I truly appreciate the accessibility they provide.

I also wanted to mention that I am still waiting for updates regarding the Wave XLR Pro, as I have not received any recent information.

I would appreciate your help with:

  • Sending the correct replacement screws for my Stream Deck+
  • Guidance on fixing the casing gap
  • Any troubleshooting steps for the power issue when the device is moved
  • An update on the Wave XLR Pro

Thank you for your support and for creating products that improve accessibility.

Sincerely,

Luis Deleon Gonzalez

Streaming drawing on Tomodachi Life - aka, streaming while handheld?

Hello! I'm looking for workarounds to stream Switch2's Tomodachi Life's editor while being able to draw on the touch screen.

I have an El Gato capture card + a stream deck if it matters. :)

I am trying to figure out a way to use my capture card while also using my switch in handheld mode. In an ideal world it would also get power, but if thats not possible and my time would be limited, thats OK too. Any ideas?

I was trying to record footage of the Invincible Vs. Beta and i was surprised that issue still has not been resolved what's going on? Is this happening AMD GPUS of just NVidia's, are they any updates coming coming soon, i see one of the solutions is you can rollback to a older driver for it to work but i want my PC games to run well / optimize so keep my GPU drivers up to date. How many months have it been and the issue is still here. Elgato Support any fixes my spec is 9950X3D 64GB DDR5 RTX 5090 and Product used is the new Elgato 4KPro Internal.

Elgato HD60 pro troubleshooting

I recently bought an HD60 pro for streaming, and I haven't managed to get it to work. The device appears in the 4k capture utility, game capture utility and OBS, but none of them can get a signal when a device is plugged in.

Passthrough to another monitor doesn't work either, and plugging in a laptop to test if a monitor is being detected or not reveals that the devices can't find the monitor at all.

I bought this capture card second-hand, as it was a lot cheaper than buying firsthand, but it was through CeX (a UK second-hand tech retailer). I haven't had many bad experiences from them, and I believe they test all of the electronics coming in, so I'd be more inclined to believe it's a setup issue on my end.

Using Remote for Roku by Jasper Cools on Stream Deck

Hi Reddit!

I saw that one of the plugins could allow me to use my stream deck to control my roku. When setting it up, it asks for my IP address. I was curious if that is something safe to do. I'm not too familiar with how all of that works so just wanted to get some opinions. Thank you!

Wave 3 Mute/unmute inconsistent.

What I am running into: Wave link 3 on unmute from stream deck with official stream deck plugin - does not actually mute. The stream deck acts as if it is unmuted, but the mic itself does not unmute. Any help would be great!

  • Wave Link version: 3.0.3
  • Wave device: Wave link 3 - wave dx for stream deck, wave dx mic
  • OS & version: Windows 11 25H2
  • Steps to reproduce: Mute via stream deck (works every time on mute), then unmute - shows mic is unmuted and the button is no longer red, but does not actually unmute.
  • Expected result: Unmute mic and begin talking
  • Actual result: sometimes (30~% of the time) stream deck button does change from red to white, indicating the mic is unmuted but it is not actually. The fix is to mute and unmute again.
  • How often does it happen? Sometimes

Stream Deck Plugin for LibreLinkUp

Hi all!

I've been wearing a Libre 3+ for about 8 months now. I really appreciate the insights I get regarding food choices and exercise.

Recently I purchased a Stream Deck for productivity. I don't have much time for gaming or streaming, but I thought it might help me with launching some automations, etc.

One of the first things I searched for was a very easy way to add my blood sugar readings from the CGM to the Stream Deck. Really just for fun: I'm well controlled but quite often look at my phone to see where I'm at on the CGM. I wanted to reduce the time I spend doing that. I didn't see anything readily available for this, so I built it.

Now I can see my readings at a glance all the time while I'm working at my computer. It's been really convenient. I've released it on the Elgato Marketplace for anyone to use. No complex setup besides setting up LibreLinkUp. Detailed instructions are included on how to do this.

Hoping that this helps out anyone who, like me, is just a bit addicted to checking their phone app. I want to make clear though, that this is just for FUN. Don't use this expecting it to be medically accurate. There are potential delays, errors, and API rate limiting that could make the displayed number inaccurate.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE : never use this to make medical decisions, or rely on it as an accurate medical device. This is for entertainment purposes only.

Here's the link on the Elgato Marketplace for anyone who is interested. If you chose to use this, please send me feedback so I can improve it for everyone.

Feature request: VST effects on output mixes in WaveLink

Hi everyone and the Elgato team

Currently Wave Link 3 lets you add VST3 effects on input channels, which is great for the mic. But there's no way to apply effects on the output side (ex.: the monitor mix).

Is there any way to achieve this today that I'm missing? And if not, is it something that's on the roadmap?

How to fix Output Switching in Wave Link 3.0 (One-click Headphones/Speakers toggle for Stream Deck/Galeon)

Hi everyone,

I recently updated to Wave Link 3.0 and found out that my old "Multi-Action" toggle for switching between headphones and speakers was broken. The new version handles outputs differently (allowing multiple outputs at once), so a simple "Set Output" command often results in sound playing through both devices simultaneously or requires multiple button presses to work.

After some testing, I found a foolproof way to get a perfect one-click toggle using the Multi-Action Switch in the Stream Deck software.

The Problem: Standard "Toggle" or "Set" actions in Wave Link 3.0 sometimes just add a new device to the list of active outputs instead of replacing the current one. This is frustrating when you want a clean switch from your headset to your desk speakers.

The Solution: Instead of a single command, you need to use a Multi-Action Switch with a "Remove/Add" logic for each state.

Step-by-step Setup:

  1. Create a Multi-Action Switch on your Stream Deck/Galeon.
  2. State 1 (Switch to Headphones):
    • Add Action 1: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Speakers
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Remove (This forces the speakers to turn off).
    • Add Action 2: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Headphones
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Add (This turns the headphones on).
  3. State 2 (Switch to Speakers):
    • Add Action 1: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Headphones
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Remove (Forces headphones off).
    • Add Action 2: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Speakers
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Add (Turns speakers on).

Why this works: By explicitly telling Wave Link to Remove the unwanted device and Add the desired one in the same click, you bypass the software's tendency to stack multiple active outputs.

Now, when I rotate my volume knob (mapped to Personal Mix Level), it always controls exactly what I’m hearing, and I never have to deal with "phantom" sound coming from the wrong device.

Hope this helps anyone struggling with the 3.0 update!

There are some screenshots, for your secondary device just make vice-versa.

Elgato studio microphone input

I haven’t used the Elgato studio in quite some time, but I find it very handy since it’s able to actually record in 1440P or 4K gameplay.

It looks as though they updated it but I cannot find out how to include my microphone audio in the gameplay. Have they changed this and no longer allow you to do VoiceOver while recording?

New WaveLink 3.0 logic???

Hi guys, I’ve got a question. With the good old Wave Link, I was able to switch my output device using the Multi Action button. With one press, I could change both my default output device in Windows and the device used for my personal mix in Wave Link.

Now, after installing the update, I just can’t figure out how to do the same simple thing. Also, sometimes my audio output becomes empty for no reason, so I have to manually add my headphones and speakers again.

So it looks like I need a new Multi Action button that does 3 things:

  • add an output device for my personal mix;
  • change the default output device in Windows;
  • set the output device in my personal mix to either speakers or headphones.

Could you help me out? I just can’t understand how to do this with the current software and plugins. Right now, it seems impossible.

OBS Chat Link Pro Help

This has been absolutely driving me nuts, so basically what I am trying to do is stream my ps5 gameplay and audio into OBS and still be able to talk in game or party chat on my ps5. How my setup is I have the chat link pro plugged into my controller, my headset plugged into the female end of the chat link, and the long cable of the chat link plugged into the line in port on my pc, then an external usb microphone for the stream to hear. For some reason I’m not getting ps5 audio into my headset or OBS, I have a separate audio input capture source in OBS that is set to the line in port on my pc. It will randomly start working momentarily then cut off. Now for some reason I have extremely loud static in my headset, like extremely loud piercing right into my ear drums. I had it working smooth with this exact setup just the other day I’m not sure what is going on. For reference I’m using an evga xr1 lite capture card.

Edit my controller isn’t plugged in to charge, that’s seems to be the only answer I can find but isn’t relevant to me

Assigning hot key that holds down a key

I have a transcription button (Spokenly as in the screenshot) mapped to the Globe/fn key on a Mac. I hold it down while talking so it's push-talk, behaving like a walkie talkie.

How can I use the Stream Deck for this action?

I've tried mapping Hotkey to Fn to no avail. Super Macro is Windows only. I don't want to buy BetterTouchTool for this single use.

Just purchased and looking for some tips to run IN PERSON D&D games.

Hello all,

I just purchased the Elgato XL for the purpose of having quick access buttons to control my game room for my weekly D&D games. I’m looking for any tips anyone might have who has done something similar. I’ve created short cuts for my quick access websites and character sheets already but I’m looking more for how to set up advanced things like hitting a single button to make it feel like a fireball was cast.

Thank you!
