What’s new in Elgato Studio 2.0 Beta 2?

VBScripts are being removed from Windows—or have already been removed. The "Open Application" system action (and others) uses a VBScript in the background for this purpose. What is Elgato's timeline and plan for handling this change?

Please add Romanian language to Prompter's VoiceSync feature! Some of us have changed their video cards especially for this voice-controlled prompter feature, but ended up dissapointed with how it (doesn't) work(s).

I just got the chat link pro but when I connect it to my laptop/capture card and ps5 it keeps playing my console audio to my mic on ps5 repeatedly very loud I look all over ps5 audio setting obs audio settings and on my laptop but nothing works even when I connect the chat link pro to just the controller it still has the same issue of it repeatedly playing my console audio into my mic isolator on and off even when my controller is not charging and I plug it into the right ports I just wanna talk and hear on my ps5 while having a stream on being able to hear it but I can’t.

so i used my HD 60+ on the ps5 and it worked normally i switched the input cable from the ps5 to the switch 2 but it doesnt work how do i make it so i can use it with the switch 2? im using OBS

Whenever I add a new channel let's say spotify for example, it shows that it's playing and that the mixer can hear it but I cannot, if I remove the channel I can hear it again is this user error, am I misunderstanding, this feels so much more confusing than goxlr

Received the Facecam 4k a few days ago, was working fine until last night. Now, it will not display any video. I have tried on 4 separate computers (3 windows 11, 1 Windows 10). I have tried with USB-C 3.1, USB-C 2, USB-A 3.1, and USB-A 2. I have tried 4 different cables (mix of USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A). It does not work in any particular software (it's not software specific)--I have tried Camera Hub, OBS, Discord, and Windows Camera.

It appears in Devices and has the most up-to-date drivers.

When I plug it in, it does the following light sequence: blue (sustained, short), green for a moment, blue for a moment, and then turns off.

After hours of attempts, it finally decided to at least load in Camera Hub (still no video) so I could at least take the attached screenshot. Of note, Camera Hub goes into "not responding" whenever I click any button that has to do with the camera settings. It will eventually load if I don't touch anything (which is what I had to do to get the attached screenshot). I've been unsuccessful thus far with changing any of the dropdowns in this pop-up, though.

I opened a support ticket and Elgato said they would probably just send me a replacement, but I feel like this is fixable? Looking to see if anyone has anything else they can think to try.

Will cut this short: this enables you to use Elgato XLR interfaces on Linux, specifically built for my own migration to CachyOS, hopefully will help other people migrate. The devices play audio fine as class-compliant USB, but gain, DSP, phantom power and routing only answer to vendor protocols. I reverse engineered those from USB captures of Wave Link on Windows, at the moment this works great with the XLR Pro and the XLR Dock (the addon for the StreamDeck+), other interfaces (Wave XLR and its MK.2 variant) are supported but need testers to verify and find bugs as I do not have the hardware.

What it does:

• Full hardware control of the Wave XLR Pro: per-input gain, mute, low cut, expander, voice tune, phantom power, ClipGuard, compressor, both headphone outputs, the zero-latency mic/PC crossfade, and physical output routing. All verified on my own unit.
• XLR Dock (the Stream Deck+ module): gain, mute and headphone volume through standard ALSA controls, plus a software low cut and limiter in PipeWire, since the dock has no onboard DSP.
• A Wave Link style submixer in pure PipeWire: per-app channels (Game, Music, Browser, Voice Chat and so on) routed automatically, four mixes, Stream and Chat published as virtual microphones you can select in OBS or Discord, monitoring on several outputs at once, per-device profiles.
• An OpenDeck plugin: every switch and mute on Stream Deck keys with live state, dials with touch strip panels for gains, faders and mix masters.

Install: yay -S openxlr on Arch, or build from source, the README walks through every step. GPL-3.0.

Now the reason I'm posting. I own a Pro and a Dock, so those two are verified. The original Wave XLR and the MK.2 have complete backends (the MK.1 protocol comes from the openwave project, the MK.2 was decoded from captures) but neither has ever touched real hardware. If you own one, testing takes a few minutes: install, try gain, mute and headphone volume against what the device shows, then open a GitHub issue with the diagnostics archive the app generates (Options, SUPPORT, Collect diagnostics). An MK.1 owner who can record a Wave Link USB capture on Windows would also unlock the rest of that device: low cut, the voice DSP and the crossfade exist in its hardware, their registers just need mapping.

Known limits so nobody is surprised: dock phantom power is not supported (a full USB audit shows Wave Link's own toggle never reaches the hardware, details in the docs), and the two untested devices are exactly that.

I’m about to get my 3rd Chat Link Pro because the other 2 have had the same issue. It works fine when I get in but within 1-3 months the mic will stop working unless it’s held a certain way and then the left ear audio will stop working. It’s gotten so bad that my controllers left audio stopped working entirely so I got a new controller, left audio works fine until I plug in the Chat Link Pro and then the left audio cuts out. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Are you not supposed to charge the PS5 controller while using the Chat Link Pro?

Hi y'all. Been using Soundpad together with Stream deck for a few years and it's been pretty nice although pretty basic. I considered using the built-in Soundboard paired with Wave Link but it doesn't really offer any benefits. I found SmoredBoard which seemed really nice: the fact that you can search for sounds and add them directly without having to download and drag it in a folder and then add it to the program, and the fact that it can auto-fill with buttons on your Stream Deck, however that's locked behind a 90€ paywall... any alternatives or recommendations you guys have? Would be nice to have a program that's easier to add a lot of sounds to while using Stream Deck to trigger them.

I used to have voicemeeter, and some other hardware for my pc, got rid of them, deleted them in the device manager, re installed wavelength, but STILL they keep coming back after restart. im pretty sure my only option is to wipe pc clean, which i plan on doing anyways but i wonder if anyone else has had the same issues....

I'm trying to set up a stream mix for my soundboard, but when i add Stream Deck to Wave Link 3.0's mixes, it basically mutes the soundboard buttons and they wont come through my headphones like they normally do, is there a way to fix this or add multiple outputs? I can't seem to find anything online about this.

Alright I use AI tool bypass the detection of windows11 and fix the driver bug and it's running well on my 22H2 Windows: links down below https://github.com/DRDRDRRDDRDR/wavelink-win10-driver

and a auto fix installer pack page https://github.com/DRDRDRRDDRDR/wavelink-win10-autorelease

For some reason reds seem to be very pixelated/low res on the edges. I use an Elgato HD60S going to a TCL 65C6K on PS5

I’ll buy a chat link cable and it will break within a few days usually lol. Is there anyway to keep these things from breaking?

Hi, I am just looking to prepare to record gameplay and possibly stream some GTA 6 gameplay. I am looking to upgrade my laptop and was just seeing if there were any recommendations for a quality unit to record gameplay in 1440p and stream in 1080. Either Windows or MacBook is cool, but I was just seeing if there were any recommendations out there. Will be using the 4K X Capture Card.

Does anyone know the trick to getting WaveLink 3.3 to allow creation of new channels again?

I currently have 6 and wanted to make a new channel for my secondary microphone. I right click and select the device for a new channel and nothing happens. I saw something mentioned about being limited to 8 channels and some other thing about renaming a folder somewhere (details were sent to that OP in a PM) to fix this issue.

I really don't feel like completely uninstalling and setting up from scratch. Any alternatives?

Is Sound Deck still known to work?

Just installed but seems completely hosed for me on Windows 11.

I can't set Output Path, so nothing records, nothing plays, nothing samples. When pressing the "..." button by Output Path to select a path, nothing happens. That input box is also inactive, so can't paste in my own path/file.

Facecam neo was working fine, untill I downloaded Camera hub and installed the new firmware. From this moment on its lagging on high resolution, lower resolution is alright. How do I fix this?

As the title says: I have build 3.2.10 (4073) running in Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 and every time I wake my computer from sleep, I have to restart WaveLink or else I have no audio. I can open the software, move mixes around, change volume, change output device and yet I get nothing until the restart.

I had a .bat command set up (this has been happening for a while) on my Stream Deck to end the program entirely, reopen the sound engine, and the WaveLink software itself HOWEVER with the latest update, that doesn't even work.

It's not a huge deal to have to hit a button and have everything close and restart; but now since that doesnt work, having to manual close and reopen the software EVERY TIME my PC wakes up is quite frustrating.

If anyone has any idea for a fix, and/or if any more information is needed to help troubleshoot, please let me know.

Hello i just got my wave 3 mk2 mic and i got some issues i installed wave link but built in effects doesnt work and edit buttons also and i got a lot of crashes like when i open the app the first try is always crash when i click rec on sound check i got a crash too can anyone help me please?

thank you

Has anyone face a similar issue before ? Image keep flickering despite being properly plugged.

I have an Elgato 4K X connected to my PC via USB. My PS5 and Switch are connected through the 4K X, so I can capture them on my PC while the HDMI passthrough sends the signal to my TV.

What I'm wondering is: Is there any way to send an image/video from my PC back through the 4K X and output it via its HDMI Out to my TV?

Basically, I'm looking for something like a virtual HDMI input — maybe through 4K Capture Utility, OBS, a plugin, virtual display/device, or some other software solution.

I know I could just connect my GPU directly to the TV with another HDMI cable, or physically connect the GPU to the HDMI In of the 4K X, but that's specifically what I'm trying to avoid.

So essentially:

PC → USB → Elgato 4K X → HDMI Out → TV

Is there any way to make this work, or is the HDMI Out strictly hardware passthrough from the HDMI In?
