Stream Deck phone app; can it be used from multiple devices simultaneously? Can it be used to do the same things on multiple computers on which the software is installed?

Pretty much the questions.

Can my wife and I both have the app and be logged in to the same Elgato account to basically have the same "buttons" in our phone app so that either of us can use those buttons for the device with which it's paired?

Can buttons made on the app for one computer transfer to a second computer?

Elgato 4KX vs 4K Pro for 4K 120/144hz HDR VRR Passthrough and 4K60 recording

I'm wondering what the best option is for me for having 4K 120/144hz HDR VRR Passthrough and then recording in 4K60 (with or without HDR, I have no problems with having no HDR recording) with OBS Studio.
My monitor is Samsung Odyssey G7 which can do 4K120 HDR VRR with my PS5 and 144hz with my gaming PC.

Has there been any updates?

So since the official launch off wavelink 3 I haven't even been able to open wavelink without it crashing, I've done quite literally everything I can think of short of a complete reinstall of windows 11 which I'm not doing cause thats ridiculous I have no other software issues beside wavelink. Wave link 3 beta worked and since then nothing works. I use a Solid state logic audio interface and shure sm58 so I can't go back to another version. I really loved the beta and just wish this would work. I downloaded the latest version today same issuees, installs drivers ( yes old ones were uninstalled along with wavelink from before via revo) after drivers asks for mic permissions and then the software just crashes.

If theres any work around I'd love to know, I've talked to tech support and they were quite literally no help...

Facecam 4k vs Facecam Pro

I'm currently deciding between getting the Facecam 4k or a used Facecam Pro since its been discontinued. Both have there advantages, with Facecam Pro having autofocus and a f/2.0 apature. While Facecam 4k has a fixed f/4.0 apature, and the lens filters arent really a big thing for me. But without Facecam Pro recieving any more firmware updates, and iv heard it has a bad color profile, its a bit concerning. Those who had the Facecam Pro or the Facecam 4k, which would you recommend? Thanks!

Wave Link 3.0 leaving behind orphaned drivers when deleting mixes

I've been been setting up my Channels and Mixes for the first time, and I'm running into a weird issue with the Virtual Audio Drivers. The drivers are supposed to be dynamic, so creating a new Mix, lets call it Personal Mix, is supposed to create a new driver called Personal Mix. This is working as intended, the issue is that if I delete a Mix, the driver associated with it gets orphaned (as in the driver is disabled and will forever be disabled since the Mix no longer exists).

I've tried uninstalling my orphaned drivers using Device Manager and restarting my Windows Audio service, however if I restart my PC, then those drivers will reappear, so I believe they're being cached somewhere.

Anyone else run into this issue and have a fix?

Stream Deck Plus - Constantly crashing when plug into the XLR Dock

My Stream Deck Plus keeps crashing, but only when docked in the XLR Dock.

I have to unplug the USB-C cable and plug it back in constantly; now even that isn't fixing the issue.

The Stream Deck and Wave Link app itself seem to be totally fine. I can still use it and see all the volume meters reacting to whatever is playing. I've uninstalled the app and drivers a hundred times now, and I still get the same issue.

Anyone having the same issue? I'm worried about how long an RMA will take because going without audio and a way to use my XLR mic for more than a couple of days isn't an option.

Elgato 4K X audio crackling/popping in OBS recordings (PS5 + Windows 11) – tried everything

I’m using a PS5, Elgato 4K X, and a Windows 11 PC to record gameplay in OBS.

Issue:

I get an intermittent crackling/popping sound lasting ~1 second in recordings. It also appears while monitoring audio in OBS.

The video itself is perfect, but the audio has these random brief distortions.

Setup:

  • PS5 → HDMI IN (4K X)
  • 4K X → HDMI OUT → TV (passthrough)
  • 4K X → USB-C → PC (front USB port, USB 3.x)
  • Recording software: OBS Studio (MKV → remux to MP4)

What I’ve already tried:

  • Updated Windows 11
  • Updated NVIDIA drivers
  • Updated capture card firmware/software
  • Tried different OBS audio sources:
    • Video Capture Device audio
    • Separate Audio Input Capture
  • Set OBS sample rate to 48 kHz
  • Disabled HDMI routing variations
  • Tested in OBS (issue persists in recordings)

Additional info:

  • Audio format: 48 kHz stereo
  • Issue is intermittent, not constant
  • Happens even when gameplay is stable

What I’m trying to figure out:

Is this likely:

  • USB stability/power issue?
  • OBS audio configuration issue?
  • 4K X driver/firmware issue?
  • Or something else I’m missing?

Any help or similar experiences would be appreciated.

🧪 [Beta Megathread] Elgato Studio 2.0 (Windows) — Prompter Support, Voice Sync 2.0 & New Script Editor

We've read your feedback, listened to how you use Prompter in the field, and used it ourselves to produce everything from YouTube videos to Shorts and Reels. Elgato Studio 2.0 brings an entirely new software experience for Prompter. This megathread is your place to test it, report bugs, and share feedback.

https://preview.redd.it/7ylf7m5avpah1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=3cddb626ad083733ac190ba61a4941de3fcac88b

What’s new in Elgato Studio 2.0

🗣️ Voice Sync 2.0

Voice Sync scrolls your script as you speak, so you can focus on your delivery instead of managing playback. We rebuilt it with a new speech recognition engine which brings support for AMD and Intel, alongside NVIDIA GPUs. It's faster, more accurate, and built to stay with you from the first line to the last.

A new sensitivity slider lets you control how closely Voice Sync follows your speech, so it works whether you read word for word or tend to go off-script. Supported language is English, with more on the way.

https://reddit.com/link/1ulheyz/video/rw2ngdmmvpah1/player

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

📝 Your Scripts, Untethered

In Camera Hub, writing or editing a script required Prompter to be physically connected. If your hardware wasn't set up, your scripts were locked away. That's gone. The new script editor in Elgato Studio 2.0 is always available, whether Prompter is connected or not. Write and prep between shoots, organize your scripts ahead of time, or start working before your Prompter is even out of the box.

https://preview.redd.it/9pkwfo0svpah1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=30fa47aef1cd50de30633fc6f8c090b22790e7b1

Headings, lists, formatting, and drag-and-drop block editing are all built into the new editor. It’s more powerful now and will feel familiar if you’ve used Google Docs, Word, or Notion. Paste keeps your formatting, and the single-chapter limitation from Camera Hub is gone. Import scripts from .md, .txt, and .docx files, or use the dedicated Import from Camera Hub option. Scripts auto-save with crash recovery.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

ℹ️ Present Your Way

Read-text highlighting dims what you've already read so you always know where you are. A reading position slider lets you choose where your current line sits on screen. Fonts, sizing, spacing, margins, and colors are all adjustable to match your Prompter setup and reading distance. New in Elgato Studio 2.0 is an optional Prompter overlay that shows your script progress and overall session time.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🎬 Studio Ready

With Prompter and Prompter XL being used in studio and production environments, we heard the need for an operator or producer to see what’s on Prompter. With Elgato Studio 2.0, the Prompter view shows exactly whats happening and what the talent sees, one to one.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🔮 Looking Ahead

Already in the works:

  • Chat integration for Twitch and YouTube
  • Multi-platform combined chat
  • Voice Sync in German
  • Audio input selection (choose your recording source, like a Wave Link mix)

Elgato 4K X Feed Cuts Off And Flashes

Console:
Xbox Series S

Capture Card:
Elgato 4K X external capture card

Monitor:
LG HDR 4K

Display/Resolution:
3840 x 2160 4k 60hz

Motherboard:
Gigabyte B660 DS3H AC DDR4-Y1

Problem:
This started happening recently.

No matter what I play, this happens. The capture card has changed colors. Even when I'm not playing or playing, the feed will cut off and start flashing. It's completely random and will not stop. I have changed all the wires and bought new cables.

How do I get rid of these devices?!!

The UGREEN capture card isn't even connected to my PC or in my wave link anymore so why is it still there?

I've tried deleting them in device manager multiple times but it just pops right back up on the next wave link 3 launch 🤬

I don't want these devices being there if I don't even use them anymore it just clutters up my mixers!

This is an issue I already experienced in the beta of wave link 3. It looks like a full uninstall + reinstall is the only way to fix this nonsense, and the great thing is that I just finished setting up all my profiles etc and wave link 3 doesn't even have an easy way to export your profiles so I'll have to do them all over again! thanks elgato

📢 [Megathread] Stream Deck 7.5 — Meet NIGHTSWORD v2

What’s new in Stream Deck 7.5?

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🖱️ Introducing CORSAIR NIGHTSWORD v2

The NIGHTSWORD v2 WIRELESS SD is the first gaming mouse with a dedicated Stream Deck Launch Button. Launch your favorite game, access your go-to tools and take command of your setup with infinite options, always one button away.

🔗 Discover NIGHTSWORD v2

https://reddit.com/link/1ulph4z/video/mzlr5tgvuuah1/player

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🛠 Improvements & bug fixes

  • This update includes a firmware update for Galleon 100 SD, with stability and performance improvements.
  • Stream Deck now only claims the keys on certain connected CORSAIR devices that have actions assigned to them. Keys without a Stream Deck action remain available for CORSAIR software to handle as intended.
  • When importing a profile, Stream Deck now clearly distinguishes when a required plugin version isn’t available on Marketplace — rather than showing a generic error message.
  • Resolved an issue where NIGHTSWORD v2 would stop appearing in Stream Deck after waking from sleep.
  • Resolved an issue where a NIGHTSWORD v2 could lose its Stream Deck connection when switching between wireless and wired modes.
  • (macOS) Resolved an issue where the “Open automatically at login” checkbox in Preferences could appear enabled even when macOS had blocked the app from launching at login.

1440p 240hz Passthrough issues

Good afternoon,

I've just purchased the 4k Pro to be able to use my LG 27GR95QE-B 1440P 240hz monitor and capture gameplay using a 2 PC setup while playing in the passthrough mode. I'd like to preface all cables are HDMI 2.1 rated and I am using an RTX 4090 on the main PC.

Some issues I'm running into:

240hz only seems achievable with an "active resolution" of 4k and downscaling it to 1440p, resulting in a blurry image. The native 1440p EDID modes are limited to 144hz for some reason, and they look sharp and great, but it's not the 240hz I'm used to.

Am I doing something wrong here? I thought it would be as easy as plug-and-play passthrough and now I'm finding myself trying to figure out how to edit the EDID profiles provided in the Elgato Studio. Something somewhere is limiting the refresh rate and I'm not sure who the culprit is.

If anyone else has experienced something similar please help, lol.

Why are these stupid 4K enabled Elgato cards, always messing with the HDMI and analog audio

I keep getting a glitch with the pcie 4K60 Pro, and now the 4K S is causing audio crackling on the HDMI when it's not on, and even in recording gameplay, and it even kills off the audio after so long.

My Capture card neo keeps freezing

I use a capture card neo with 4k capture utility, and for a long while I never had any real issue. However recently its been freezing and despite my attempts of unplugging, reloading, or updating what needs to be updated the problem persist

Typically ill get a couple minutes, on a good day longer, of the the capture going without a problem. Also I will mention that while the capture part freezes, the game still goes to through to my other monitor thru the HDMI cord so I'm unsure where the problem begins.

Also to note, sometimes when I'm trying to reload the capture software or unplug/replug the neo, other usb devices flash for a second
