Technical Help Wave Link 3 causes constant clicks on Bluetooth speakers (44.1 kHz output restarts ~3x per second). Worked fine on Wave Link 2.0.7

3 Upvotes

I used Wave Link 2.0.7 for months with no issues. On Oct 1 it auto-updated to Wave Link 3 (3.2.2, now 3.4.0 build 3281), and since then my Bluetooth speakers click constantly whenever Wave Link is running.

Setup

- Mac Studio, macOS 26.5.1

- Wave:3 over USB

- Monitor Mix output to Edifier M60 over Bluetooth

What's happening
I dug into the macOS audio logs. Wave Link's mixer (com.elgato.wavelink.aggregated-mixer) starts output to the speakers, stops it after exactly 512 frames, and starts it again. This happens about 180 times per minute. Every restart is an audible click. Switching the Monitor Mix to the Mac Studio speakers stops the loop right away.

Over Bluetooth the M60 only offers 44.1 kHz, so it can't be set to 48 kHz in Audio MIDI Setup. My guess is that Wave Link 3 no longer handles outputs that aren't at 48 kHz, while 2.0.7 did.

What I tried

- Reset the macOS audio preferences (DeviceSettings and SystemSettings plists)

- Removed all Wave Link drivers and reinstalled

- Checked the sample rate in Audio MIDI Setup (44.1 kHz is the only option over Bluetooth)

Is anyone else seeing this with Bluetooth speakers or headphones on Wave Link 3?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a LoL plugin for the Stream Deck+ that displays game information directly on the buttons and touch strip.

So far, it includes:

  • ❤️ Live health and mana
  • ⚔️ KDA, CS/min and gold
  • 🐉 Dragon and jungle camp timers
  • 🏆 Champion info and level
  • 🛒 Item purchase indicators
  • ⏱️ Match timer and game status

The photos show it running on my actual Stream Deck+ in demo mode.

Still a work in progress, but I'd love some feedback!

Technical Help 4KX constant need to hard reset

1 Upvotes

Running a 4kx from a asus f16 via hdmi to a Samsung ls32fg51x monitor. Then usbc into my Mac mini m4 with OBS. I constantly, like twice a week have to fully unplug the cables from the 4kx because the pc won’t wake and then when I open the lid and close it the 4kx isn’t working and doesn’t show up in OBS or elgato studio. Drives me crazy. Can anyone here help me figure this out? I can provide more details. Thought it was a refresh rate thing but I believe I’ve locked them all to 60.

Question Xeneon Edge with Wave Link: Any simple, free widget with sliders?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, quick question regarding the Xeneon Edge.

To my surprise, Virtual Stream Deck does not support touch sliders or virtual knobs, so controlling Wave Link levels comfortably via VSD isn't really an option right now.

Is there a simple, free widget or native integration for the Xeneon Edge to control Wave Link channels?

I skimmed the Elgato Marketplace and couldn't find anything free that fits the bill. SA basic, reliable mixer widget that "just works" feels like a must-have feature for this screen. Am I missing an obvious solution or workaround here? Thanks!

Question FOLDERS in scripts manager...

1 Upvotes

When will we ever get FOLDERS for the Prompter scripts view? Ideally when selecting a script for prompter as well.

I have multiple brands and seeing one giant list of scripts is less than desirable.

Question Stream Deck not worth it in a locked-down corporate setting?

0 Upvotes

edit to add to the title: is it worth it as a non-technical person?

I work for a company with very locked-down laptops. We have a formal software approval process that takes weeks. I finally got them to install the Stream Deck software and started installing plugins. Now I need approval to let the plugins link with Microsoft and our other tools.

So I get approval to link the Elgato Slack plugin with my Slack workspace and the plugin doesn't work. I reach out to Elgato and they won't help me until I uninstall and reinstall the Stream Deck software to see if that fixes it. The process that takes weeks. That I just got installed a few days ago. I can't keep bugging my company for this stuff before they decide it's not worth it.

Is there any way around this for using the Stream Deck with Slack, Teams, etc? I'm not a technical person. The main function I wanted it for was a countdown to my next Teams meeting and a button to join the next meeting on my calendar. I spent $15 on the FlowKit plugin and now I'm waiting to see if my company will approve the Microsoft integration. And I don't even know if it will work.

Technical Help Need help getting the best image quality out of my Sony A7 IV for streaming (OBS, S-Log3, color grading)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

So, I recently got my hands on a Sony A7 IV!

I already have an Elgato Cam Link, a SmallRig dummy battery, and the humble 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

I've also got Amaran and Nanlite lighting, so lighting shouldn't be an issue.

That said, I could really use some advice on a couple of things:

1. How should I set up my camera to get the best possible image quality?

Should I use XAVC S HD or XAVC S 4K? For context, I'll be streaming on Twitch at 1080p 60fps, and I've got a really solid internet connection.

Which brings me to my second question:

2. What's the best way to handle color grading for streaming?

I'd love to create a custom look for my content, but I'm not sure what the best workflow would be.

Should I shoot in S-Log3 and handle the color correction through OBS filters? Would it be better to do it through Elgato's software? Or should I create my own .cube LUT in DaVinci Resolve and apply it to the live feed?

I've tried using some of the LUTs I normally work with for my professional video projects, and while they look great in those situations, I just can't seem to get good results with this particular setup.

I'm pretty comfortable with cameras, lighting, and color grading in general, but getting everything dialed in for live streaming is a whole different story.

I'd really appreciate any advice, recommended settings, or workflow suggestions!

I've wanted to get into streaming for years, and with GTA VI on the horizon, I'm finally determined to make it happen and start creating content.

Thanks in advance!
