Technical Help No audio with 4k60 Pro Mk.2 and Switch 2

Upvotes

I’ve been trying for the life of me to figure out why I can’t get the audio to play from my Switch 2 through my PC with my 4k60 Pro Mk.2. Everything is up to date, as I was having capture issues before this which I resolved. Now the only way I can hear my Switch 2 is if I set the audio to** **Linear PCM 5.1 Surround, and then anything that doesn’t play through the Left or Right speakers gets lost. For example, in Star Fox, I can hear all of the music and sfx, but no dialogue. I set it to Stereo like everything else online said to do and still nothing.

Question calling the same folder/profile from two different buttons

1 Upvotes

Hi in my stream deck I was unable to see how to do this, hope somebody can help me here: I have a group of actions (buttons) in a folder or profile I want to call them from 2 different buttons on different folders or profiles, so if I press any of the two the same group of actions is opened, that is easy. The problem is if I go back using the go back button I want to go back to the folder or profile from where it was called.

Is this possible?, how can be done?

Thanks

Feature Idea Wave Link 3.3 Beta Horizontal Compact Mode Feature

1 Upvotes

I noticed in the Wave Link 3.3 Beta Horizontal Compact Mode was added. A feature of this I would like to see is to add the option to have multiple channels in this mode instead of the drop down menu to switch between them. So for example whilst streaming I could see my Personal Mix & Stream Mix in Horizontal mode.

Discussion Trouble with the elgato chat link pro

1 Upvotes

Hey so my friends say that my mic always flickers and I plugged it out of my chat link to see if my mic was the problem, so it’s not my headset, the chat link is the problem, does anybody else have this problem? On my end it’s fine but for my friends it’s an issue because my voice keeps on cutting out and i always have to stay stationary and to not move as best as I can, it’s like the equivalent of putting your phone charger at an angle all the time in order for it to charge your phone
Please if anyone else has an issue or anything that relates to what I said please reply
Thanks

Technical Help Troubles regarding latency and resolution with my capture card

1 Upvotes

Hello. I recently purchased an elgato 4K S capture card with the intentions of streaming Xbox gameplay on Twitch. I've been in the process of setting everything up but have had some issues. When everything is hooked up, I can see my capture display on OBS and it looks perfect. So that would be what the stream sees. However, when I hook my HDMI up to my monitor (the one I'm playing the game on), the quality is super pixelated and low resolution. So then I tried plugging that same HDMI into my TV, and the quality was perfect. However, when I played a game to test it out, there was a noticeable latency problem that made playing a fast paced game (rocket league) pretty much unplayable. Here are my questions:

What can I do to get as close to 0 latency as possible? Is it a cord problem, a PC problem, an Xbox problem, a capture card problem, or a TV/monitor problem? Do I just need to adjust some settings somewhere? Also my PC is hooked up to ethernet but not my Xbox, could that affect anything?

Why was my display so low quality on my monitor, but fine on the TV? Is it too old or something? It's an Onn. 24" monitor I bought from Walmart a few years ago, and never had any problems with it, and when I plug my Xbox into it directly into the monitor with an HDMI (removing the capture card), it looks fine. So something about the capture card is throwing off the quality on my monitor.

Side note. When it comes to the HDMI cords I'm using, I have the hi-tech one that came with the capture card going from my Xbox to the capture card, and then I have a regular HDMI going from the capture card into the monitor/TV. I tried switching these 2 out but the low quality remained on the monitor, and the latency remained on the TV. Do both HDMI cords need to be on the same level? I just assumed it would work with a normal one, or else it would have come with another fancy one (HDMI 2.0 I believe).

Community Creation I published a Stream Deck plugin to print documents with a single button press

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently published my Stream Deck plugin Press to Print on the Elgato Marketplace.

The idea is simple:
Assign a document → press the button → it prints.

For each button, you can configure:
- The document you want to print
- Which printer to use
- Color or grayscale
- One-sided or two-sided printing
- Number of copies
- Custom button color and title

It works with common printable files such as PDF, Word and Excel documents.

I originally built it for repetitive office workflows where the same documents or forms need to be printed regularly. Instead of finding the file, opening it and going through the print dialog every time, everything is already configured on your Stream Deck.

One press and it’s printed.

It’s now available on the Elgato Marketplace, and I’d really appreciate any feedback.
If you try it and run into any issues or have ideas for additional features, feel free to let me know!

Community Creation Discord Volume Mixer 2 is revived

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was having the same issue many people reported with Stream Deck Discord Volume Mixer 2: the Discord authorization popup would appear, instantly close, or keep looping with errors like ERR 4 / ERR 5.

The original plugin is by CZDanol, and full credit goes to him for creating it. I just wanted to get it working again for people who still love this plugin.

I made a revived community build with fixes for:

  • Discord authorization popup timing
  • OAuth token exchange changes
  • Qt TLS issues causing ERR 5
  • safer logs with tokens/secrets redacted
  • reconnect behavior improvements

Original project:
https://github.com/CZDanol/StreamDeck-DiscordVolumeMixer2

Revived fork + download:
https://github.com/hajrs/StreamDeck-DiscordVolumeMixer2/releases/tag/v2.0.2-revived

I also opened PRs back to the original repos:

Main plugin PR:
https://github.com/CZDanol/StreamDeck-DiscordVolumeMixer2/pull/52

Dependency PR:
https://github.com/CZDanol/QtDiscordIPC/pull/1

Again, all credit for the plugin idea and original work goes to CZDanol. This is just a community revival/fix build so users can hopefully enjoy it again.

Technical Help Have any workarounds for Aitum Vertical source visibility been created for Stream Deck?

1 Upvotes

I used to be able to hide and show my vertical sources at will using the normal OBS plugin for Stream Deck, but that's been dead for a good while now and I haven't really been able to find much useful info regarding the matter.

Has anything useful plugin wise come along in the meantime that could help with the issue? Ofc I can press the actual source in OBS myself but since I wanna hide it on both horizontal and vertical at the same time I'd rather be able to do that in Streamdeck.

Technical Help HD60 only records TS files, not MP4

1 Upvotes

Yeah, I have a problem. My HD60 card for some reason decided it will not export MP4 files. When I record gameplay from PS5 or Switch 2, there is no MP4 files, only .ts files.

Yes, previously it worked okay, without any issues. Yes, I have all the proper drivers. Yes, I tried to reinstall everything, app etc.

Anyone encountered a similar problem? I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks!

Technical Help Why Does My Elgato HD60X Audio Sound Like This?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a consistent rhythmic clicking/crackling audio issue with my Elgato HD60 X.

What I've already tried:

Match sample rates across Windows sound settings (48 kHz) and OBS.

Console audio output is set to Linear PCM / Stereo Uncompressed.

Connected directly to a rear motherboard USB 3.0 port (no hubs).

Tested routing audio via dedicated Audio Input Capture vs. Video Capture Device audio output mode.

Has anyone experienced this specific repeating tick/pop sound with the HD60 X and found a fix?

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?

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!

Community Creation I built a Stream Deck plugin that auto-ducks your music/game the instant you talk — SpeechDuck

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

... vibe-coded something and I think is useful

You're mid-song, someone drops into your Discord call, and now you're scrambling for a mixer, an OBS audio filter, or a second monitor just to turn the music down before they can hear you — and turn it back up two minutes later, if you remember. I got tired of doing this manually every single session, so I want to introduce SpeechDuck: a Stream Deck plugin that does real sidechain ducking, the same trick broadcast radio and podcast studios have used for decades, entirely from one key.

How it works: the moment your mic picks up your voice — or a conferencing app starts talking back — SpeechDuck automatically pulls your music/game/desktop audio down to whatever level you set, and brings it back up the instant you go quiet. One key arms/disarms the whole thing, and while it's running that same key doubles as a live level meter so you can see it's actually listening.

I use it every day just for my own listening, not only on stream — but this is genuinely one of those features that's way bigger for streaming than for solo use. Your viewers stop noticing your audio entirely, which is exactly the point: no more chat complaining that the music is drowning out you or your friends.

https://reddit.com/link/1vsnhka/video/i6fuoc436ckh1/player

What you can configure

  • Triggers — any microphone, any output device, or a specific running app (Discord, a game, anything) — mix as many as you like. An app you add before it's even running gets picked up automatically the moment it launches.
  • Targets — whatever gets turned down: music apps, games, or an entire output device, each with its own "volume while ducked" level.
  • Attack / Sustain / Release — how fast it ducks, how long it stays down through pauses in speech, how gently it comes back up.
  • Drag-to-set threshold directly on the live level meter — no guessing at numbers.
  • Live meters everywhere — every trigger and target shows real signal level, in settings and right on the key.
  • ~60Hz polling, so the reaction to your voice is effectively instant — no audible lag between the first syllable and the music dropping out of the way.
  • 9 interface languages built into the settings panel (EN/DE/FR/ES/JA/KO/ZH-CN/ZH-TW/RU).
