I just had that problem on ps5 no audio in obs threw capture card until I put it to hdmi. I’m like I there’s gotta be a way to hear it through my wireless headset and capture card pick it up. Thank you sir.
what if i had dslr camera and usb headphone how could i show ps5 screen + dslr face cam + make the party chat audio hearable in stream considering that I'm using external mic for streaming and headphone mic for talking to my friends in party how would that work with elgato chat link while my headphone is usb so I can't connect to female aux on elgato chat link .. so if i connect the chat link to controller while leaving female aux unattached and my headphone + its mic connected via console usb will that affect party audio voice chat + my headphone mic functionality + game volume
Great video explanation there! A quick question, will my TV audio play together at the same time with my wired headset connected to PC with the settings "Monitor and Output"? If so.. how can i mute my tv audio and make sure every sound + stream alerts + game audio will play through my wired headset? Can't wait for my product to arrive to set all of this up!
I think all audio will only come through your wired headset and no sound will come out of the TV. My monitors have built in speakers and they produced no sound with the ps5 plugged in through the elgato.
hello can u help i have a gaming setup i have ps5 and xbox x and a TV dedicated only for playing and a seperate pc desktop setup with seperate monitor for recording editing and live streaming i use elgato 4k pro in built in pc my question ? i want to use both xbox and ps5 connected to elgato how can i do that? should i use switch or splitter which is the best one everything i have is 4k@120hz
Helpful video 👍. Wish i had seen this before nearly sending it back after 2 hours scratching my head not knowing hdcp had to be off.. you would think they would add that instruction in the box 🤷🏼♂️. It wasn't that easy to find that needed to be done. Haven't tried tinkering with settings yet but have noticed 1st recording looks very washed out with HDR on.. do you leave it off or edit colour in something after?
@@curtis311 thanks, yer I have seen you can correct it in davinci resolve by changing one of the colour settings to a Sony one but I need to try it and compare how it looks to simply leaving HDR off
@@clacky78 try changing the color space on the da Vinci delivery page. Change it to BT2020. I can’t remember the name of the exact setting but if you do a custom export it is down towards the bottom of the settings.
i have a 4k monitor and the elgato 60x. i’ve tried everything from at least 20 different videos and no matter what i do it won’t record games. it works for the homescreen but as soon as i open any game it goes black. i’ve bought dozens of cords thinking that was the problem but it didn’t work. i’ve turned hdcp on and off and tried both same with hdr and it didn’t work. i tried turning my resolution down and pretty much everything else but my elgato will not work
I can't get it to properly record in 4K 120! I either get laggy file with a bitrate of only 7mbit, with minecraft cubes, or it locks at 60, even if game is at 120. I got 4090 and 14900k, so I don't see any issue in my hardware. Any chance you could help?
@@ERP_Klim Probably something in your OBS settings under your recording capture + export settings. Other than that idk. Your system is way powerful enough. Have you tried capturing gameplay just using your 4090? Is the result the same?
@@curtis311 Found the fix. In OBS in recording settings: Recoding Format: MKV, Video Encoder: NVENC HEVC, Rate Control: CQB, CQ Level: 15, Preset: P1, Multipass Mode: Single. Others are left at default. Thanks anyway! Hope my comment will help others as well.
I have not tried 4k60 yet bcuz I use my GPU to record my pc gaming. But even then in OBS the preview looks jittery/way lower than 60fps but when I playback the video it’s smooth. And this happens even when I capture above 60frames. The preview video is just not smooth
Can I record Discord audio from my PS5 with this setup up tho? Or can I communicate in normal PS parties with my friends since I have to connect my Bluetooth headphones to my PC? Thanks in advance
@@JOHNATANMCSPACIMM I am not sure as I use Discord on PC. I am able to record discord, game audio, and my voice audio so I am assuming you will be able to. Might have to do some testing and report back. This comment section has provided a lot of beneficial trouble shooting for different things.
It does not need usbc but you need to make sure that the usb you do have can reach the data transfer speeds of usbc 3.2. I linked the cable I am using as my PC does not have a usbc port.
Hi, I just bought Elgato 4K X today and I hope you can help me with my problem, I did everything I saw on RUclips. I disable HDCP, I double checked my ports, I change the video frame rate automatic to -1 to -2 but still doesn't detect my PS5 to my monitor also in my 4k Capture utility using usb3.0 too. I also tried to connect my iPad It's working tho I even played Ps5 on iPad. But whenever go to my Gaming PC (monitor) Still doesn't detect my PS5. Do you have any suggestion to fix that issue? Thank you.
@@curtis311 so funny story. It is possible to put the usb-c in the wrong way. So the end that says 10gb goes into your pc and the end that has the elgato symbol goes in the 4K X box. That’s all I did.
Happening to me now … can’t find a solution I spoke with 2 different people at Elgato via phone and nothing solved , it’s a loud wind howling noise in the background :( so gutted man i came back from work yesterday and it wasn’t working like the day before …
have done all these steps yet when i switch audio output to HDMI DEVICE (TV) on my PS5, i get like half a second audio delay ... anyone know how to fix this?
dont put it to 4K this will cause your recording to lag set the res in Properties to 1440p Set the FPS to 144 or Highest FPS this will make your gameplay record the FPS your playing on. Highest will take the Max FPS your game outputs and try to keep it there. but if you get fps drops it will show in your stream and recordings. Match Output FPS will Match your fps so if your fps drops to 30 the stream and recording will record the min of the FPS so if it drops to 30 the recording will record 30fps it depends. setting it to 144hz will lock the stream and recording to 144. 1: Res Set that to 144 or Hestest FPS 2: Video format set that to Mjpeg for Max FPS 3: Color Space set that to REC.601 4: Color Range set that to Full 5: Go to settings go to video set that to 2160 or 1440p 6: Common FPS Values keep that at 60. dont change it to Integer Or Fractional. Integer will let you go to 120hz Fractional will let you set it to 144. if you plan on changing this to get the file to say 144fps and get a stable output Set it to 1: Res Set that to Hestest FPS 2: Video format set that to Mjpeg for Max FPS 3: Color Space set that to REC.601 4: Color Range set that to Full 5: Go to settings go to video set that to 2160 or 1440p 6: Common FPS Values change that at 144. Hope this helps any one i make videos showing how to get the best FPS with your Elgato 4K X
Thanks for the info. Question, I got two monitors, one is the 1080 for recording and one that is used for gaming on Xbox which is 4k. Am I not able to record in 4k because my other monitor is 1080?
In obs click the sources plus icon, then click add audio capture device, select the dropdown and choose your device labeled “4kx” go into properties for the audio, then select your audio capture to monitor and output.
@ its quite long time ago but if i remember what helped to me was that i has too much devices conected tovmy usb port. I plug out that i dont use and plug in elgato usb to usb 3.0 port
I got everything to work but why my ps elite headphones dont work when plugged into my 4kx and chat link pro while streaming everyone can here my gameplay audio but not my voice?
I honestly don’t know. Try going into the advanced audio settings in obs and mess with either the chat link pro or 4kx “audio monitoring” settings. By default it is set to “monitor off”. Do it while you live stream to see if your watchers can start hearing you.
Pretty sure that you will needs a seperate Mic to record your voice(responses) while chatting to your team mates, requires another audio input to OBS as well. With out one you will just hear the game and the chat audio of people talking to you.
When you choose your capture device as the elgato in obs, check the drop down where it says the window that is being capture. Make sure it’s capturing the elgato and not something else
