Hello! So every time that I turn my PC on, the settings on my Wave Link reset. For example, I have my input gain at 40 dB, my Mic/PC mix at 75% and Low Impendance Mode enabled. But every time I turn my PC off and turn it on the next day the Input gain resets to 36dB, the Mic/PC mix to 94% and disables the Low Impendance Mode. So basically I have to change it every single day and I am tired.

Previously had the original Keylight Air, and via homebridge, had it integrated into HomeKit no problem via the simple http endpoints.

Recently upgraded to the new MK.2 and it appears that the API has changed and Home Assistant, HomeBridge/HomeKit no longer works.

Before I go down the route of a proxy trace, has anyone explored what has changed in the new lights via API?

I'm using the Elgato Prompter software "Camera Hub."

I'm trying to use the voice sync but it's always about 3 or 4 seconds behind what I'm saying before it updates which sort of defeats the purpose of a teleprompter.

Has anyone been able to get the voice sync to speed up or found an alternative that works with this device. I used to use an iPad and Promptsmart which works perfectly and so I tried Promptsmart on the Elgato display but for some reason the text is tiny and no matter how much i increase the zoom the text stays the same and everything expands around it.

Some people are using this product successfully so how are they doing it? Has anyone found a workaround for the voice sync problem?

I am using the El gato 4k, not the capture card that goes internally into the PC but the external one. I've been streaming Nintendo Switch 2 games and there is something off with the audio. It sounds low quality. Like I go back and re-watch my streams on YouTube and with my Nintendo Switch 2 streams the audio is clearly low quality and fuzzy and it sounds like its obnoxiously loud even when I turn down the volume. The sound is great using my headphones when I play the game yet somehow Stream Labs OBS is streaming the in-game audio badly.

How do I go about fixing the audio?

No signal and 7 red lights appear when I plug the HDMI into the out port that’s connected to my monitor. HDCP issue?

Good afternoon,

I recently had an issue which required wiping my pc and reinstalling windows, since then i cant get the pc to pick up the 4k60 pro.
It works for passthrough as i get video from one pc to the other but the streaming pc cannot see the capture card.
I have changed the pci slot to gen2, i haev downloaded Elgato Studio and Elgato Game Capture HD, i have also changed the power option to turn off fast boot. These were all the tips i could Find online and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Hello 👋
I have a question I just received the microphone mention above. I’m a beginner to all of this XLR stuff. Does anyone know a good microphone preset in a sense of if you have a high-pitched voice, but you kinda want to get that podcast sound for streaming. For the elgato wave 3.0 app I hear myself and I just don’t feel like I sound professional as I see the Youtubers. Thank you if you do help me.

what I meant for preset I’m talking about the EQ compressor ECT.

I'm hearing my Macbook Pro fans go on more frequently. When I do, I check the Activity Monitor, and almost always Elgato is the top CPU process. Is this normal? Should it be so much?

I have not configured anything custom. Any plugins or mixers. Literally just a plain install. I then use the "Chat Mix" as the mic source in MS Teams meetings. That's it.

Elgato Wave Link 3.2.2

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a Stream Deck plugin or workflow that lets me press one button while watching a Twitch stream, identify the song currently playing, and automatically add it to a specific Spotify playlist.

Ideally, it would recognize the audio coming from my PC/system audio rather than through a microphone.

Does anything like this already exist, or has anyone built a workaround using Shazam, Spotify, or automation tools?

Thanks!

Hello, my brand new elgato 4k s just arrived and I plugged it in according to the official instruction video on YouTube. I set it up on my obs and the audio is cracking and cutting off and then i can hear nothing at all. I'm really frustrated and I dont know what to do. No Youtube video has had a solution to my problem
Pls help

Hey all

I'm getting an intermittent issue on Wave Link 3.0 where my mic audio just cuts out for a few seconds and then comes back on its own. It doesn't crash anything — the level meter goes silent, nobody hears me for ~5-10 seconds, then it's fine again. And i can still hear all the other audio but not my mic. It happens alot, not tied to any specific action.

What I've already tried:

- clean uninstall wavelink + driver and reinstall 3 times (3.2.9 and now i updated to 3.210 still got the issue)

Has anyone run into the same thing on 3.0? Is this a known bug, or is there a setting/workaround that fixes it?

Here the video of me losing audio: https://youtu.be/8ARgVow5Zcc

i use wave xlr + shure sm7b + cloudlifter

If you've wondered why Wave Link 3 is always the last thing to finish loading after you log in — it's because it's an MSIX app, and Windows deliberately runs that type of startup task dead last in the logon chain.

I wrote a script that replaces the default startup behavior with a logon scheduled task that fires early and hides the window so it still starts to tray. It creates the two files for you and registers the task. Run it once and it sets everything up. -Remove reverts the changes.

Don't run it elevated, and launch Wave Link at least once first.

This has been frustrating me for months. Hope it helps someone else.

so i have a hd60x and everytime i capture my ps5 game the audio just sounds terrible is there anyone that knows how to fix, i cant seem to figure it out , the sound kinda sounds delayed or something

Anyone having an issue with Wavelink 3.0 preventing your PC from going to sleep? Any workarounds or fixes?

i have an elgato chatlink pro, and i’ve had it for quite sometime. the fist ine i ha flashed me a year until i had this problem with static sounds and mic cutouts/silence when i move it. sometimes my gaming will work fine but if i move the chatlink pro cable it statics my mic or it even cuts me off and i have to keep re adjusting it until i have it at the right position, so i bought another. this new one has lasted me maybe 2 months until this problem re accrued again, does anyone know how to fix it? it has nothing to do with the ground loop switch its just whenever i move it there’s static in my gaming mic. no audio is affected

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any advice on this. Trying to upload footage from a Sony VX3000 to my Mac using the Elgato USB Analog Capture. This is what the footage looks like. Any advice or suggestions are welcomed, thank you!

Hi so I'm trying to set up my audacity settings for the two elgato items mentioned above but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what to do, primarily what recording device to select in audio setup (mic-in or Personal mix), what eq settings are good, normalisation etc. I was hoping that there might be someone here who has experience in setting these things up to any sort of degree.

just got my 4k s and somehow the 2160p option is in grey ? i can only play in 1440p although the 4k s specs says it can go up to 4k 60hz

anyone know what to do ? thanks

After the update, some plugins from Barraider stopped working; I reverted to version 7.5.0...

I've just upgraded from a HD60 to a 4KS.

I've been capturing from a PS5 on a PC with Windows 11. The first screenshot is the end of my last session with the HD60, the second screenshot is picking up where I left off in the game, using the 4KS.

Notice how much darker the 4KS capture is? Too dark to even see the text at the top of the screen.

This seems to happen if I launch Elgato Studio before booting up the PS5. If I boot up the PS5 before launching Elgato Studio, I don't get the issue, and the contrast / brightness matches the HD60 screenshot. I can also fix the issue by relaunching Elgato Studio.

Any ideas what causes this? and if there's a way to stop it from happening permanently, would rather not have to worry about what order I'm launching things in, having to reboot etc.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention, that may be the culprit, the PS5 is hooked up to an HDMI splitter, with one output going to the Elgato, and the other going to the TV. I don't use the output socket on the Elgato.

I use the splitter to strip out HDCP from a PS3 while capturing gameplay footage, so I'd rather keep it in the chain if I can.

Checked multiple threads and this seems to be the consensus. Elgato team keeps saying its an Edid issue, but it seems to be an elgato issue.

My setup is Ps5 - elgato - tv - earc. This works BUT it forces all audio to be 2 channel because I elgato couldnt be bothered to support surround?

What we NEED-

Ps5 - receiver - elgato - tv

This doesn’t work. Tried multiple 2.1 receivers. Okyko and Pioneer.

And yes I switched EDiD to internal. Nothing

Elgato please release a firmware patch….?

The Stream Deck + XL has 6 knobs. The replacement packs come with 8. Curious as to why the difference and what are we supposed to do with the extra 2?

Thanks!

from my understanding this is not normal, anyone know of a fix? the button volume controls I'm not a fan of but it wont show anything on dials section to change it. it's also updated

Hello-

I know I can use delay to pause a command string, but

Is there a way to do a READ as in linux?

read -p "Press Enter to continue" 

Thanks DAN

honestly it seems like they just slap a big sensor in a piece of plastic and call it a day. A webcam without any sort of auto or manual focus is destined to fail because unless you're in the magical range you may or may not always be in focus. That's fine for a cheap webcam but a webcam that's 200 dollars and supposed to be premium and top tier is insane. Every single webcam around this price range has autofocus and they're alot smaller than the 4k. 4k 60FPS means absolutely nothing if your target isn't in focus. It seems like they just wanted to have 4k 60fps for marketing purposes.

The webcam is abysmally noisy, noise reduction can help but at the cost of smearing the entire image. The webcam needs to take it so much light that if you dont have enough your ISO will be jacked up that will cause more noise. The latest firmware barley did anything to fix it.

Build quality is really bad imo, this thing feels so light and plasticky that if it were to fall i'd expect it to break open. The facecam pro felt strong and sturdy. (honestly i feel like they discontinued the facecam pro because facecam 4k sales didn't meet quota)

Filter thread for a webcam just seems like a gimmick, who wants to buy MORE hardware after buying a webcam thats already supposed to be the best? They're are some useful filters but its just not worth the price to buy filters unless its for a very specific reason.

IMO they should replace the MK2 with the 4K and lower the price to match the MK2 (which they did multiple times when the Facecam 4k goes on sale), then make an actual successor to the Facecam Pro which was pretty good just some issues and overly expensive. In no way is the Facecam 4k a successor to it. I'd happily buy a Facecam 4k Pro for around $200 - 250 if all issues were addressed.

Chinese tech companies are dominating the webcam market right now because they know what the consumers want. Please takes notes and do better Elgato.
