SETTING UP ELGATO HD60S OBS ON MAC FOR MAC OS
The software compatibility for Mac OS is just not where it needs to be yet for streamers and who knows when it will be.My problem was I wanted audio output via analog port on my Switch instead of HDMI. Seems like every mac user i have followed to fix this issue has a bunch of work-arounds but thats exactly what they are.work-arounds. I really suggest biting the bullet and getting a PC, it doesnt have to be expensive just enough to meet streaming requirements. I really was apprehensive about buying a new machine especially since i have been a mac user for over a decade. but after the 4.5 hour session the computer was barely warm.

My first stream with the PC my cpu was running anywhere from 80-90% which is high, I know. Now my stream works perfectly and even looks better even though the processor is less. So i bought a PC, nothing fancy - but a 300$US Lenovo with intel i7 16g ram. I think it may be a problem not only with the NDI link but the macbook choking CPU in order to not overheat. Monitoring my cpu i was at 40-50% and my macbook was HOT. This led me to believe it was a problem with the NDI link required for streamlabs/obs (which to my understanding is relatively new so it very well may be buggy). I tried a number of different rendering/streaming softwares and the only one that seemed to work was the elgato capture HD, which i didnt want to use long term.

I had been trying to stream with an elgato HD60s with 2019 macbook pro (intel i9) and my game sound was constantly cutting out. I found a solution that worked for me and I just wanted to share my experience in hopes to help others. I have been following this thread for a couple weeks trying to find a solution to this issue. But I have no idea what I'm talking about so I'm not sure if that even makes sense. Seems like its having trouble keeping up with the amount of data its handling. I'm wondering if this is a buffer or cache problem in OBSLink. Would be nice if it worked as intended though.Įdit: Setting the output in OBSLink to 720p30 seems to keep the audio clear for noticeably longer. I'm going to start running my audio through a mixer so I can have my computer and game audio in my headset, so I think I'm going to try to work around this problem by muting the NDI audio and running audio from the console through the mixer as another input. The crackling still eventually comes back.
but I don't have any way of measuring that objectively. There aren't many settings in OBS Link to mess with to try to fix this, but changing the output from 1080 to 720 seems like it might be helping a little. I downloaded NDI Monitor from the App Store to monitor the NDI feed coming from OBS Link, and the crackling audio is audible there as well. Everything records fine using Elgato Game Capture HD program, so its not a hardware issue with the capture card. I think I've narrowed the problem down to OBS Link. I'm having the same problem recording xbox one with MacBook Pro (2016) and Elgato HD60S. I have a feeling it's coming from the OBS Link, as when I restart that program the sound typically comes back, but its been happening within an hour of each restart so it's not exactly sustainable.
Using OBS Link with the NDI driver, and recording the audio from my desktop using IShowU Audio Capture/Multi Output Device. Īnyone have any ideas what could be causing this issue? Using a mid-2012 Macbook pro, but my CPU doesn't get any higher than 40% at any point as measured by OBS.
If stream audio helps, here's a clip from earlier - there's no issues with my Blue Yeti audio (even though I didn't speak in the video), or the facecam, or the game video, just the game audio. You can see where it drops out at the red line, then again a couple seconds later, then for good a couple seconds after that. The large amplitude waves are his speech and the low baseline is the game audio. Here's a link to a picture of a sound log in Final Cut Pro that another user with the same issue posted. The audio might drop for a few seconds or stay out for ten or twenty minutes before popping back in, while my Yeti sound/facecam/gameplay video will continue playing like nothing happened - just missing all the game audio. It beings stuttering, then completely drops out, and keeps stuttering as it comes back it. Hey everyone, I’ve started streaming using an Elgato HD60S with OBS on a Mac to stream from my Xbox One S, but I've been having persisitent issues with the gameplay audio dropping during the stream.
