Thank you soo much, dude you dont know how much I appreciate you making this video. I had a cheap crappy Mic to get me started streaming, it produced a bad echo which for some reason got worse during a live stream, so bad viewers started to say so. So i finished my stream and ordered a new mic... Elgato wave 1. I told my viewers I would not be streaming for 2 days until new mic arrived. Setup was easy...followed video instructions to a tee...booom same problems you have just addressed, I tried everything, searched for answers, looked on Elgato for a fix...Nothing. was ready to pull my hair out...just today! Now i can go home and fix this before my morning stream...Thank you again...You rock 👊🔥💯

Aye that’s so awesome man!! I’m happy it helped you! Good luck in your stream!

[@switchiller]

Hi! I had the issue of audio crackling because I didn't have a separate audio element for the Elgato Wave 3 from the Wave Link (Stream) one on OBS. Your video helped so much. Thanks!

[@bigrod89jr]

Great detailed video! I was about ready to throw my mic out the window. But watching this video fixed all my issues thank bro!

[@dellapalooza]

Wow! I have been trying to solve these Wave 3/HD60X audio issues for days, especially the audio syncing with OBS on my dual PC set-up. I have watched 30-40 videos with no luck. The Wave Link System thing fixed everything! Yr a genius!

[@NewYears1978]

Anyone else purchase one of these recently? I loved it at first, but now I absolutely hate it. There is a bad audio delay in recording, streaming. The only zero latency is when you monitor via the mic's headphone jack, but when you stream and record there's a near 1 second delay. It sucks.

[@faithandfury4003]

This is still a relevant audio issue vid, I just got an Elgato 3 and this was the best vid to figure it out. Thanks.

[@mccaurthor]

[@SeanMo2114]

Bro thank you for the video! I was dealing with having everything from wavelink on one audio channel in OBS and it sounded terrible. Now I can have my mic on one channel with my filters and everything else on another. Thank you again. LIFERSAVER

You’re welcome man!! I love comments like this!! I’m glad it helped you.

[@skytier1]

does anyone know how to fix sounding like a robot with this mic

[@AgentRen]

Holy crap finally i can fix the filter for my obs mic. i never knew i can separate the mic sound

[@christophervillapuda7237]

Thank you so much for the help. The feedback loop was driving me insane I didn't know how to separate my audio from the game audio. Another thing to look out for if you are still hearing yourself is this: Control Panel > Hardware and sound > Sound > Recording > El Gato Mic > Listen. Check off the "Listen to this device" setting and you shouldn't hear yourself anymore.

You’re welcome man! And great advice!

Thanks man! I’m glad you liked it and I hope it helps.

[@Isaiah___-sl1so]

@@mccaurthor Thanks for the Video Mate. Just one question, does the workaround for using MIC track and Filters work on a dual PC set up? Will OBS pick up a seperate feed for the MIC, and allow filters, if it is plugged into the Gaming PC? Reason I ask is I want to Stream DayZ and MIC input is needed to communicate with other players IN game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@mccaurthor]

Isaiah Black I’m sorry I’m not sure my friend. I run a single PC set up. I would assume the only way that would work was if you were using a team chat software like discord on your streaming PC.

as soon as I set the audio to Wave Link System it does not output audio through my headphones at all. I'm sure it is an error on my part, any fixes?

[@Bryc3]

I get the no background noise while streaming/recording but what ab when ur just playing off stream not recording. You can still hear all the background noise Bc it’s not going through obs or anything just the game audio

[@mccaurthor]

When your playing off stream, you can set up "threshold" to cut out background noise in both discord, and call of duty. im not so sure about other games because i almost always use discord when playing for my team chat.

[@JamesInAWeek]

Oh my god dude! You helped me fix my game audio issue! Some games that I have on stream would never produce game audio but after I get my sound output to system it solved it! Thank you so much!

This just help me fix the issues of having double audio through my mic. If I had my wavelink mic mixers on and running it through obs separately you get double audio and its annoying. Thank you for telling me to just mute the wavelink mic plug in. They need to update that so we can set out mic apart from the rest of the software

[@StevenMarz]

Cool tutorial man. My issue is that the audio from my headset like gunshots or game chat keeps leaking from my astro a50 headset and into my wave 3 mic. Do you think these noise filters on OBS will fix that?

[@mccaurthor]

StevenMarz if your mic is picking up the audio from the headset than yes the noise gate and filter will definitely help with that!!

make sure that in WZ audio options your recording device is set to you default recording device. there is also a known glitch in WZ right now with in game chat. had the same thing happen with a buddy the other night who was playing on Xbox. mid game just stopped being able to hear each other. it may not be you at all, it very well may be the game.

@@garza2o551 you bet man. i hope that helped. 99% of the audio problems i have had with in game chat are because the wrong device was selected in the game. the other 1% is bbecause of WZ being glitchy. i highly recomend using discord when possible.

[@kilianwilson9505]

I adjusted my settings the same as you have routing all the sounds through the wave link system, but now I can’t hear anything from my browser in my headset.

[@mccaurthor]

Kilian Wilson did you add your browser as a source in wavelink? If I remember correctly my browser was also giving me trouble try routing it through one of the “Aux” options in wavelink. Let me know if this helps!

[@CeeJayCarter]

Great video, I just bought one, also, I stream with my wife in the same room as well, so when I saw that you do too, I went to check out your stream, you guys have no echo, how were you able to accomplish this? On my stream, we are dealing with echos. Thanks!

[@mccaurthor]

Well first of all thank you for checking out my stream and the positive words about the video! It took some time fine tuning the filters and sounding like dummys making a bunch of noise to find out at what level our mics pick each other up.

[@AdamNRG316]

Had mine for about 5 days and im seriously not liking it. Do you find every time you reset your pc the settings get reset and you have to do everything all over again?

[@mccaurthor]

No I don’t have that problem. I even unplug mine sometimes, when my wife streams and I’m just playing with her. And I plug it in and have no problems. I’m sorry you’re having issues my dude.

[@revtks]

I have noticed with mine, that the button/dial on the mic when it is set to PC/Mic mix will basically cause no sounds to play when I come back to the system after it has hibernated. The solution is terribly simple, after I spent half an hour tinkering and fighting with it; just turn the dial back and forth. The sound came back, I adjusted the level and boom, off and running.

[@vonniecorrigan2040]

Every the ad says it is!

[@PeterDB90]

Dude! Thank you so much! Honestly, I only came here just for the mic setup, but I'll sub just as a thanks because I used to have a headset mic that sounded just fine but wanted something better and got Elgato Wave 3 and with this mic it seemed like I had 2 options - raise gain and pick up my minifridge, laptop fan, and my wife's TV show in the next room behind 2 doors (not even mentioning the clicking of keyboard and buttons), OR lower the mic gain and basically have to push the mic up to my mouth in order for people to hear me, so I was almost going to make the conclusion that headset mics are better. Thanks for this!

[@mccaurthor]

Peter thank you so much my dude!! I’m so happy this video has helped so many people!!

[@williamdripspeare741]

My problem is that if I set the output to the wavelink I can hear anything anymore, and if i set it to my headset the spund is back. Also although wave link says that the mic is recording my voice, no one can hear me... help

[@mccaurthor]

Let get this figured out. So your output is set to wave link in what program? Windows or SLOBS? Also is the correct headset selected in wavelink? That has happened to me where I can’t hear anything and it’s because my Corsair voids weren’t selected in wave link. And last your stream can’t hear you? Did you add the mic the way I explained it in the video?

[@williamdripspeare741]

@@mccaurthor woah that was a quick response! They now able to hear me, I just used the search for problems setting in the windows settings and they suddenly heard me. As far as I understand windows just changed the audio settings from 96000 hz to 48000. When I tried to put it back to 96000hz they couldnt hear me anymore, why is that? I don't quite understand the whole hz thing....

[@williamdripspeare741]

@@mccaurthor concering me not being able to hear anything: I still didn't find a solution. The output is set on windows and I seleceted my headset on wavelink. But it's wireless, is that a problem?

[@mccaurthor]

@@williamdripspeare741 so the reason they can now hear you is that your audio gets compressed to 4800 through twitch. No the wireless headset is not a problem. I use one. Make sure your audio is routed correctly in wavelink. So for example if your Firefox is trying to push audio through like your onboard sound card it won’t come through. Open wave link and make sure the audio bars are moving while the sound is playing if they aren’t it means that source is not added correctly. If they are moving but you still can’t hear it try restarting your headset and pc.

[@Circus_Olay]

My headset wont show up on the wave link software but it shows up on regular audio settings for windows, its bluetooth. How do i fix it?

Some super useful stuff here deffo helped me. Wondering if you've had issues with your stream alerts? I keep getting a deafening stream alert through my headset and my stream can't hear it but when I go on browser source and click test it says it's playing sound. I can't seem to find ANYTHING that helps.

[@mccaurthor]

I have not had that problem, but I wonder if you open OBS and then open wavelink if you can then add OBS to wavelink?

[@videogainz]

@@mccaurthor so turns out I’m a moron. My computer audio was set to headphones. Which meant when my browser (stream labs alerts sounds played) it played at the reduced volume like I wanted it too but also the Streamlabs OBS app played it at default (max volume) to my headset. Changed my pc audio to wave 3 headset so nowhere essentially and it was instantly fixed

[@mccaurthor]

GhOsTs GeNeRaL if it sounds better at 40% than you’re good. Everybody’s set up is different, I keep my mic pretty close to my face so that’s why I have mine set lower. But if 40% works for you, you’re good!! Thanks for the question!

@@mccaurthor ah ok thank you I have my mic two fist away from my face so I lower the gain or leave it at 40?

[@GhOsTsGeNeRaL]

@@mccaurthor ah ok thank you very much I've been overthinking it alot I told my friend which one did he like more 30% or 40% gain he said the 40% sounds louder and a bit more clearer he liked it a bit more. I wanted to try 35% but I think I'll be overthinking which one would be better 35 or 40 lol so I'll just leave it at 40% thank you very much for the help

Im having issues with my wireless arctis pros I can figure out how to monitor my audio and connect it properly can any one help me

[@macfrag574]

Cool video man, thanks! It really helped me. Only issue I'm having now is that I can't use "Mic in" as input device in Ms Teams. If I do that, no one hears me talking... I have to set the wave link stream as the input device so I can make it work, which will mean music will leak over the line... Did you encounter such an issue?

[@mccaurthor]

I don’t think I fully understand the question. You will have to set wavelink stream as an input in slobs, and the the wavel mic and the other input.

[@macfrag574]

​@@mccaurthor I just found the solution, it seems like the new option in wave link "wave gain lock" actually put the microphone in exclusive mode in Windows 10 sound settings, which prevented other software from properly grabbing it's input. The problem was that the "Mic In" in OBS would always be silent, and we could only hear the mic through the Wave Link Stream Mix.

[@iBattleMike]

I just hooked up mine, but my issue is no one could hear me in stream. I had set vst through wave link and even recorded myself with streamlabs and could hear myself just fine. But as soon as I streamed, I couldn't hear my friends in chat, but they could hear me, but the stream couldn't hear me. Like WTF lol. I'll try your settings later today. Not sure it matters since this was a year ago for you

After switching to Wave Link software, now I'm facing audio delay, why is that? when I shoot in r6 siege, I hear the bullet after like half a second. My headset is: SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless. thanks.

MC, I'm planning to get the new corsair hs80, how do I add the headphone as the sound output since its wireless? Is it gonna detect the wireless dongle? Or is there other things I need to be aware of? Currently im using a headphone that connected direct to the mic 3.5mm

[@TheNeefo0o]

Omg thanks man ❤️❤️ , try also to use RTX voice for noise reduce it work like magic 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mccaurthor]

Naif Algarni you’re welcome!! I’ll have to check it out as well.

[@revtks]

@@mccaurthor Sorry, but RTX doesn't work with Elgato according to Nvidia and others.

[@mccaurthor]

@@revtks I thought it may give problems, that’s why I haven’t tried it yet.

[@revtks]

@@mccaurthor Well, it seems I was wrong, ...there is a fellow using it now with the Wave 3. Times change fast :)

[@TeShady]

out of no where all of my computer audio started traveling through the mic and comes out the audio monitoring. now i cant use it for my ps5. about ready to smash to to pieces to be quite honest

[@Rhomzy]

my game sound is about 1 second delayed if i put it through the software? any fixes

[@mccaurthor]

Try a different audio channel

[@CousinPreemo]

I stream from ps5 and can’t get game or party chat audio. Can someone help me please?!

[@AlexandreBorgesNoRec]

I have some problems, when i select Wave Link System instead of my Headset (Corsair Void PRO Wireless) I have no audio at all. :/ Do u have some tips?

[@mccaurthor]

Yes, in the wave link software make sure the headset is set to your void pros not headphones.

[@mccaurthor]

If this doesn’t help please let me know

[@AlexandreBorgesNoRec]

​@@mccaurthor Yes, Actually Still on Void PRO. The audio bars are moving but i have no sound. The only way that it worked was using my Beats Studio connecting by the P2 port direct on Elgato Wave.

[@mccaurthor]

@@AlexandreBorgesNoRec if your output is set to the void pros and you’re seeing the audio bars. Try restarting your pc. That has worked for me when it happened once.

[@JakeNova]

Good video my dude, sorted some of my annoyances out with the mic! made the product so much better! subscribed and hit you up on twitch also!

[@mccaurthor]

Jake Nova thank you so much my dude!! I’m happy this video helped you! Hopefully I’ll see you in my live streams!

[@RagonAkashi]

Went to watch the video and forgot that I can't hear it lol

[@mccaurthor]

hahaha did you get it figured out?

[@RagonAkashi]

@@mccaurthor Yeah, I had to use a backup save of windows before it broke.

[@loki_wolff]

For some reason every time I turn my computer off and back on it does not recognize the wave 3. I always have to unplug and plug back in the mic for it to work. Anyone know how to fix this?

[@FC360D]

I have a friend who recently got this mic and we talk almost every day and I find it way to sensitive as I can hear pretty much everything in her home which is really annoying. Things like her kid crying in the living room which is quite a distance away but yet it feels like I'm in the same room as her. We've tried adjusting different settings but it reaches a point where I cannot hear her because she's too quiet. Using something like a noise gate doesn't really work as even if we get it to the right setting where it only activates when she talks we can still hear the background noise while she's talking. Are we doing something wrong or missing something? Is there no way of doing the noise supression outside of OBS as we talk through discord?

[@mccaurthor]

Elgato now offers filters right on the wave link software. I’d have her look into that and that should fix the problem!

[@DeanNutz]

some words are not getting picked up why is this?
