I have to say, these videos that Elgato put out are extremely vague and breeze over important stuff I feel. However, their technical support over the phone are amazing and have all the patience in the world. Just wish that these videos had a bit more.

I have a PS4 Pro. When plugging the HDMI into HD60-X, I got a black screen. I had to uncheck "Enable HDCP" in the System settings menu of the PS4. Also, I had gotten a red blinking light on the HD60-X, so I moved the USB from the front ports of the PC to the back motherboard ports. That fixed it for me. GL!

If anyone is getting a black screen in OBS like I was there are two things you will want to do. First, make sure the USB cord that is plugged into your PC is hooked up to the USB 3.0 dark/navy blue color USB port. This is important. The "regular" older 2.0 USB port (black/not colored) may not work. In my case, it was hooked up with the teal color USB port which is actually a newer 3.1 USB port. This let me hear the audio from the game and the game would show up on my monitor, but the passthrough did not show up on my PC via OBS or the Elgato 4k capture software. For some reason, the HD60X supports USB type C to UBS 3.0 passthrough but not USB 3.1.

The other thing is to make sure you are not running the Elgato 4k Capture software while also trying to view the game in OBS. Turn the capture software off. Go into your command prompt and make sure it is not running in the background. Uninstall if needed to be 100% sure this is not the issue. Hope this helps someone.

I would appreciate telling exactly which settings you are talking about.

Thank you for your help, I was struggling to get sound for my HD60 X to work with my obs. It had sound on the 4k recording software, but not on obs. The solution was to open the 4k capture software and go to settings/device then change the audio output to analog and apply, it before changing it back to HDMI and applying it again. then close the 4k software and open obs. that with your instructions worked.

If you have Mac make sure to use you’re hardware encoder for streaming.

I'm a fucking idiot, I was clicking on game capture option in OBS instead of video capture device. Thanks for the video. You've earned a sub and a like.

My monitor wont connect with my ps4 i plugged in an HDMI IN- and OUT Put but it isnt working any ideas?

[Pryda-Z]

Game video an audio didn't appear on OBS. But it pass through just fine on Elgato 4K utility software just fine. What's wrong.

So on my end, no other app is using my hd60x other than OBS, but even though my ps4 is hooked up the right way, I get no video or audio in display. Any fix for that?

This capture card has a lot of problems. Never had any issues with my previous capture card. But this one.? Oh man. First with OBS the audio would be delayed. so had to do a work around for that. they never mentioned any of that in this video. and then when i first unboxed it i had even more problems setting it up. its not literally plug and play like this video says. i had to do a firmware update on the capture card itself which they dont even mention in this video at all. smh. but after i got it work after all those issues... the quality. A1.

[wesMFNjust]

[Alewi]

I did everything correctly and only my voice is being brought through on OBE. No gameplay is being shown or game audio. Think anyone can help?

[iriebuddha]

If I use wireless headset, will my audio still be pulled into obs for recording? Don't really care for party chat, just wanna be able to use my headset and not have to monitor output

[ItsReapYT]

Great video thanks for making it nice and simple

[MZ-Motorsport]

I have an issue of audio and video going out of sync over time. What should I do to fix this?

[ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

It doesn't work. My screen wraps on 1080. I see no information on this anywhere.

[crypticzomb]

Setting this up has been an absolute nightmare. The hd60s was so much more simple
