Upgrade from Elgato HD60S+
By T. Tozawa on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2025
My review will just be covering gameplay capture from the PS5. I don’t currently stream or anything so have no experience with that. I’ve been using the Elgato HD60S+ for several years to capture my game play from the PS5. It honestly worked great and capturing 1080p 60fps worked well. I didn’t use the pass through to play directly off the capture card (I have a HDMI splitter so play direct from the PS5 on a separate monitor), but when I tried it, there was a noticeable half a second to one second lag which made playing games bad anyway. But the main thing that made me want to try something new was that Elgato has this issue where the capture card gets used by another device in Windows and doesn’t show a signal. The only way to get it to work was restarting the PC. Trust me, I tried everything, even disabling all types of devices on Windows. Apparently anything that uses audio can cause the Elgato to see it as a source and then it doesn’t connect to your console. And it doesn’t have the ability to connect to more than one source. So I went with the Avermedia and so far everything has been working great. After connecting everything it got my PS5 signal right off the bat. I also have an XLR mic setup and was able to get that working during PS5 gameplay capture without too much trouble once I figured out I needed to download the RECentral program. I originally used their streaming software which didn’t work in capturing my voice during gameplay on the PS5. I’m sure it works fine or streaming but as I mentioned, I don’t have experience in streaming yet. The quality in gameplay capture is excellent. Everything looks great in 4K and the pass through virtually has no lag that I could play it off the capture card alone with no problem. I haven’t encountered any black screens or disconnects and so far it’s been a lot better than the Elgato I’ve used for so long.

Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 Gradual Audio Desync and Crackling Sound Issue in OBS + Solution
By Luiz Skane on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025
In general, I have no issues with the video, the image is correct in 4K, and I can use it with HDR without any problems. However, when I try to use it with OBS, the audio first produces a crackling sound. This is relatively fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting it, but what persists is that after a short period of time, the audio becomes out of sync, which is annoying when I'm capturing something or streaming. At the moment, I haven't found a solution. If this situation changes, I will update this review or feedback. * Update: I found a solution for the desynchronization in OBS. This can be fixed by adding a new audio input capture and selecting HDMI/Line In (Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 Audio) there. It is important to avoid selecting it in the properties of the capture device in OBS. With this, the audio will no longer have desynchronization issues. After that, you need to configure the advanced audio settings in OBS to ensure it works on your stream. An optional step, according to Avermedia support, is to turn off automatic VRR on the capture device (I haven't tried it). Regarding the crackling sound issue, I consulted with support, and they told me you should turn off microphone noise reduction via Nvidia Broadcast or sound software. I haven't tried it, as I solved it by disconnecting and reconnecting the capture device.
