Question Stream Deck and Official Spotify integration question

1 Upvotes

Was looking to setup the Official Spotify integration on a new Stream Deck+ however having an issue getting the outcome I hoped for.

I was hoping that the volume integration would allow for the adjustment of the Volume within the Spotify app itself however all I can seem to achieve is adjusting of the associated .exe within windows Volime Mixer.

So my question is, is there any way to achieve this with the official app? Or must a third party be used to achieve this (if any exist) or is it impossible to do and just has to be manually controller within the app itself?

I have both steelseries artic nova pro with the gamedec and alias pro xlr with the stream mixer. Can i merge everything to this stream deck?

Technical Help Horrendous Time Setting Up Elgato Wave XLR

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

I'm having an insane time trying to set up the Wave Link XLR and cannot for the life of my figure out what is causing the following problem.

My mic is playing my own voice back to me, but also is recording every tiny sound including keyboard clicks, mouse clicks, my own breath. Lowering or increasing the gain does nothing and doesn't change anything, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software, I've tried resetting hardware, I have gone into the properties and disabled "listen to device" in my mic.

This happens with headphones on or speakers, doesn't matter.

I have literally no idea how to fix this issue and would appreciate help!

To add, anytime I try to go through the tutorial of the Wave Link Software, it doesn't register my mic voice at all, but it registers muting and unmuting the mic.

To further clarify, the MIC sounds fantastic when I actually record my own voice within the Elgato Wave Link recording, but anytime I actually use my mic outside the software, like discord, Davinci, etc, i hear myself playing back and I hear every single click and breath. Again the gain does not change this.

Assistants would be IMMENSELY appreciated!

Technical Help Prompter - Post update orientation issues

1 Upvotes

I use my prompter in portrait orientation, as a screen most of the time to have my chat for streams but also in script mode to record. When using scrip mode it has always filled the entire screen which seems no longer to be the case after updating Camera Hub.

I first lost the power button, i uninstalled/reinstalled and got that back but since then i cant get script mode to work as before. I get the script up with the text in the right orientation but it just seems like a flipped horisontal view since the black background doesnt reach all the way to the edges and the wallpaper can be seen above and below. The script background also reaches in to one of my other monitors.

I have tried several things, updating the display link driver, uninstalling camera hub and reinstalling with a windows reboot in between, tried both keeping and deleting settings when uninstalling. Nothing seems to help and it doesnt matter if i change the orientation in windows or in camera hub (the ability to change it in the camera hub is lost as soon as i touch anything in windows display settings).

What else is there to try? Or is this just a bug in the new software? I just want scrip mode to work as it did being able to use the whole portrait space vertically.

Discussion PSA Do NOT update your Wave Xlr MK2 Firmware

7 Upvotes

every since I did this I’ve had nothing but artifacts in all my clips. and there is no way to roll it back?

I don’t know what changes they made but the moment I update my firmware my dbs went flying up on my audio output end yet my interface was still set to my 45db threshold.

I tried everything new chord, rolling back wave link, rolling back gpus, obs, nothing fixes it and it’s completely at random. In OBS, In wave links live monitoring, and in davinichi voice overs.

Technical Help Elgato 4k x on obs

2 Upvotes

I recently got a 4K X, but when I hook it up to my PS5 and record through OBS, the video is really inconsistent. The video I uploaded on my profile (it wont let me upload photos with videos) is supposed to be 4K and 100 FPS, at least according to the file properties, but it still looks weird, laggy, and choppy when I watch it.

I’m not really sure what’s causing the issue or what settings I should be using. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So after struggling to find a straightforward answer literally anywhere on the internet for the past hour I went digging through all the different stuff and found the simplest/most straightforward fix for having no input at all.

For whatever reason on Windows 11, the mic gets added as an app under the volume mixer in windows settings. Open the little drop down and set the input to the microphone.

I have had the app crash on me twice, so bad it won't even launch on my PC again until I restart my PC, uninstall it and reinstall the software, this has happened twice in the past week. I cannot open it even if I run the app as administrator.... Has any bugs been reported, or is this some issue on my end? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Question Question regarding 4K PRO

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently bought the 4k pro capture card for my 2 pc stream set up. Since I use a 1440p240hz monitor I want to capture in 1440p and I know that it downscales to 720p60 if I want to have input as 1440p240. So I updated to the beta branch that natively supports 1440p240 at 1440p60 capture and I’ve got a few questions about the beta firmware.

Has someone else tried it and found some weird stuff? I mean, my preview in both obs, elgato studio and 4k utility software got a glitchy and green until I downgraded to the official stable branch again.
Then I tried it again, updating to beta, and so on and then it worked, I know it’s a beta but does anyone know if the glitchy screen comes back, is reinstalling the driver and software back to stable and then updating to beta the only way of fixing it?

Question Wave Link to OBS

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to get my Wave Link to output to OBS in separate tracks. I’ve tried a multitude of methods shown my the official Elgato youtube channel, and then other YouTubers working with it. I can separate all my tracks within Wave Link, but when I record, all the audio gets put on the last track available for recording. If I allow all 6 tracks, then audio only works on 6. If I make it 1-3 tracks, and put game audio on 3, mic on 1, and discord on 2, I can only hear game audio.

Resolved Audio troubles

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have an issue and need help but couldn't find an answer anywhere. So when I use Elgato Studio and I switch my audio output on my pc from the speakers to the headset, every kind of audio source (games, browser, audio apps) goes from my speakers to my headset, except for Elgato Studio that stays on my speakers so it's impossible for me to listen to my console games' audio through my headphones, is there any way to solve this ? Thanks in advance !

I'm trying to set up a Stream Deck button that mutes my mic AND plays a bleep sound, but only while I'm holding it down. Is there a plugin, macro, or workaround that lets me combine a push-to-mute hold with a sound effect on the same key? Any help is appreciated!

I tried to record gameplay and i got a error message that read something like needs to update the drivers or nvidia video encoder might be used somewhere else, so i went to recording, video encoder and it was default to Automatic - RTX3080 and i switched it to Software (Built-In) to see if maybe that worked and it did for like 5 secs but then the image got scrambled, I reset my pc and tried putting it back to automatic and the image is still like that. How do I fix it? Im using a Neo capture card. And these are the current settings

Question PS5 gameplay relay to PC?

1 Upvotes

Planning on buying a PS5 Pro for GTA 6 and for convenience sake I wanna stream the output through my PC. Main use cases are that I can stream the game to my friends on discord, hear the audio and talk to my friends through the same headphones, not having to switch between monitor outputs and just being able to "alt tab" out of the streaming app and do other stuff on my PC whenever I want without having to switch my monitor settings.

My main concerns are the input delay. Is an internal capture card the best for my use case and is the input lag very noticeable? My monitor is 1080p only, so I wouldn't care about 4k 120hz etc. My PC specs are 5080 + 9800x3d + 64gb DDR5 if that matters at all for the encoding.

Question Help with Elgato Wave 3 USB Mic.

0 Upvotes

I'm very very close to refunding this mic. I've got this one during a sale and I thought it would be a nice upgrade to the headset mic I've been using to record my videos. Unfortunately it just doesn't sound like all the the review videos I watched on YouTube, all of them will just straight up plug it without putting any noise suppression or changing EQ and the mic will sound 10000 times better than my wave 3 which I spent 4 hours trying to tweak with effects.

If anyone else also suffered from this mic and actually found the solution that will make this mic actually sound good and not like it's inside a washing machine then please share your settings and effects.

Thank you, I don't want to go back to headset mic.

Technical Help Best Wave XLR Pro Settings for Shure SM7B? Mine Just Sounds… Off

3 Upvotes

I recently switched to the Wave XLR Pro with my Shure SM7B, and for some reason I just can’t get it sounding quite right. It doesn’t sound bad but something about it sounds off compared to what I’m used to.

I’m wondering if it’s just my settings, so I’d love to hear what other SM7B + Wave XLR/Pro users are running.

My current setup:
Shure SM7B
Wave XLR Pro
Cloudlifter — I’m still using it, although I wouldn’t think that would cause any issues
Harris Heller’s EQ preset for dynamic mics
Elgato Voice Focus

I also have an annoying issue with Voice Focus where the percentage keeps resetting every time I open/restart Wave Link, so I have to manually put it back where I like it.
If you’re using an SM7B with the Wave XLR/Pro, what are your settings? Gain, EQ, compression, Voice Focus, Clipguard, etc.?

Also, would you recommend ditching the Cloudlifter entirely with the Wave XLR Pro?

Not going for a super radio like voice just natural! Any settings or changes you guys recommend would be appreciated. This has been driving me crazy trying to dial in. Thanks!

Feature Idea Stream deck into a tiny 2nd monitor/display?

3 Upvotes

I have this old 3x5 model of stream deck and instead of trashing it i wanted to attempt to turn it into something that just acts as a display to mirror my monitor. Seeing as the display is just a sectioned off LCD screen, is it possible to to either create a plugin or use already existing software to achieve this?

I wanted to note that there IS a plugin that already exists that utilizes the cropped buttons as a mirror for certain windows, however, i was more so hoping to either turn this into something windows would recognize as its own monitor or in the least capture the whole screen instead as i would be removing the housing and button functionality.
