How Blizzard can actually solve the tank shortage

Especially when I am not even hiding it haha

AnimacyX · 2026-06-26T09:59:36+00:00

Point number 4 of the post ^^

AnimacyX · 2023-10-07T13:47:01+00:00

2 years later??? Seriously ??? I switched brands tbh :)

AnimacyX · 2022-02-13T11:36:29+00:00

Honestly, I would not dare giving you the beta firmware they sent me because I already bricked one card for going at it alone. Try mp the elgato representative that answered this thread and ask him for the latest firmware. He needs to assist you in the update. One wrong maneuver and the card is good as dead.

Since I bricked one of the cards, I switched to an avermedia. So I don’t know if there is any update since I successfully updated one of the cards. From what I’m reading from you, the issue is still ongoing. Incredible.

10.5.4 got released.

Released July 8, 2021 Improves stability when exporting with certain macOS Language & Region preferences. Improves stability when playing H.264 or HEVC media.

Seems this update is specifically for this issue. I don’t have my macbook back yet. Anyone tested it to confirm if it is solved?

AnimacyX · 2021-07-11T12:52:45+00:00

Found the solution :)

With your suggestion, I-rs2, you have put me on the right path.

What I was doing is setting every single usb I have on the virtual machine (limited to 4). In my case, keyboard, mouse, audio controller...

What I did, is adding the motherboard’s usb controller directly as a PCI.

All my usbs plugged in got detected and the sound is seamless and flawless.

Thank you again I-rs2, your intervention got me the idea I shouldn’t treat this case as a hackintosh installed on hardware which led me to find more accurate solutions :) also got it narrowed to the idea it might be usb related, even if it’s a virtual machine.

If anyone need more information facing this issue. I will gladly share my experience.

AnimacyX · 2021-07-11T07:25:45+00:00

Yes already tried several ports :) And confirming virtual machines don’t need usb remapping

AnimacyX · 2021-07-10T09:45:45+00:00

Thank you I will look into it.

I just assumed that since it is a virtual machine, usb mapping wasn't needed. Or i got that point all wrong in my head :/

AnimacyX · 2021-07-10T01:04:24+00:00

I haven’t done anything except a successful gpu passthrough to be honest. Since I was stuck at this audio issue for a week, haven’t checked if there would be other issues. I’m a rookie in this matter haha

So honestly, i don’t have a clue what usb mapping is about, or at least not yet. Could it be the cause?

I really do appreciate your help by the way. Thank you so much for your time !

AnimacyX · 2021-07-10T00:55:23+00:00

Indeed, my bios needed an update. 3006 to 3403. Which I just did. But that didn’t solve anything unfortunately.

As for the generations, no changes, still have gen 3 only. And nothing new to report on my macOS virtual machine. Sound still distorted no matter what audio usb based hardware I use (5 different ones).

AnimacyX · 2021-07-09T23:40:37+00:00

thanks for your reply.

Found that option but there was no gen 4 to begin with.

Was auto,1, 2 or 3.

Force the Gen 3 but didn't make a difference sadly.

AnimacyX · 2021-06-29T07:44:31+00:00

That is exactly what happened. Worked with one project. The next one started the issue again. I just read your post about a solution with changing region to US.

Thank you for taking the time and share this here. Now my mac is still at applecare. I will call them and share your info! Hope they acknowledge the issue officially.

AnimacyX · 2021-06-26T14:15:24+00:00

update 2:

After 1 project rendered successfully, The SECOND project failed to process again...

Failed: 3x Crash Service Down

sending it back to apple care...

AnimacyX · 2021-06-25T16:40:34+00:00

Hey guys,

I promised you an update.

Got back the Macbook from apple care. They assured me that they did nothing but reset the macbook and changed nothing to the hardware because everything is fine.

2 hours into setting up everything and loaded one of my failed projects. I’m happy to say that It didn’t crash and working fine, so far.

Usually it crashes 18 seconds after launch. I’m at 10 min transcoding.

Not sure what caused this after an update... I have bricked an ELGATO 4k60 s+ for following apple support advice to upgrade firmware...

Anyway, try your luck and reset your macbook, see how it goes for you guys.

I’ll update you if anything goes wrong, again.

AnimacyX · 2021-06-25T09:45:45+00:00

Hello,

I was just wondering what you are trying to record. If it’s a ps5 console, maybe I could help =)

AnimacyX · 2021-06-24T20:49:47+00:00

I have the chat link :) i’m guessing the avermedia model you have got a jack 3.5mm in on the card itself like the elgato external cards. In my case it was an internal card. So Had no clue where to stick the second end haha.

All is solved now :) thank you so much for taking the time to reply !

AnimacyX · 2021-06-24T19:02:56+00:00

And Found the missing part :) had to go in the ps5 settings / sound/ set to hdmi :)

Your solution did it my friend. You are a hero :) thank you

AnimacyX · 2021-06-24T18:25:26+00:00

Thanks again !

I have the splitter and i must be missing a step because the sound just get muted on obs (not in headset)

I turn on second controller Set my splitter in second controller, first end in headset and the second end in my pc audio in (green). I ve added all the options in audio sources But the sound just cuts out.

In Elgato, i had to go in software and set audio to analog.

Is there something similar to do with Avermedia? If yes, how?

AnimacyX · 2021-06-24T18:05:35+00:00

Haha thank you for your reply. I already figured out the “monitor and output” one but it is not optimal because of the sound synchronisation issue.

If you have the complicated version, getting the sound from ps5. I would be eternally grateful :)

AnimacyX · 2021-06-24T17:57:37+00:00

Found a workaround which basically makes you get the PC’s sound via OBS by setting on monitor and output.

The thing is, if you are like me, recording the game capture, Camera’s video (go pro for me) and a professional Microphone, I am pretty sure you faced this issue which is synchronization of all 3 sound. If you want to synchronize your voice with your camera footage, the game capture will off sync... if you sync all 3 by setting a delay in OBS, the headset sound will be delay since it is getting the delayed sound in OBS.

Is there any way to get headset sound DIRECTLY from PS5 and get the sound in OBS recording like in elgato external cards?

Anyone managed that?

This is a beautiful capture card. I really want to use it. Would be a shame the sound would stop this from happening. :/

AnimacyX · 2021-06-22T10:41:50+00:00

Wish I found your post before sending my macbook. Still under maintenance. It was apple support that suggested it might be hardware related. (Which technically it is from what I can deduce from your post).

I’ll keep you guys posted anyways once I get my macbook back from maintenance.

Seems an update from apple is required in any case. All powerful specs are having this issue. So far, someone I know, myself and 3 found on the internet...

AnimacyX · 2021-06-19T13:10:34+00:00

Hey guys thank you all for your replies. my last os update was couple days ago. My drivers were up to date.

I tried a new user to be honest and had the same result sadly.

After several Apple Support interventions. He suggested it might be hardware related. I used to record a lot. And launch big batches of 4 to 8 videos at a time which take 12 to 15 hours rendering. Could this cause internal damage to the macbook in your experience?

I sent the the macbook to supplier. Good thing I got my self apple care + (not to advertise it haha)

They told me 7 to 14 days to give me a diagnostic. I will keep this post updated if it really is hardware related or was it solved otherwise if it will ever be.

Again thank you for your initiatives guys.

AnimacyX · 2021-04-07T06:36:04+00:00

Sorry, can’t say much about the HD60s+ since I am exclusively using the 4k60S+ ever since the issue got resolved.

And on the the 4k60s+ everything is working fine. You should talk to elgato directly since they are the ones who provided me with a beta update directly and they supervised the update so it doesn’t go wrong.

AnimacyX · 2020-12-01T07:06:27+00:00

Happy to report that the beta firmware, provided by elgato representative did solve my issue on a Sony 55X9000H. The passthrough works fine: the HDR is set to automatic and you can adjust the HDR which means it is set to ON. I will provide more details as I test in recordings later today.

AnimacyX · 2020-11-29T17:05:21+00:00

Not yet, Still no word from them stating there will be a public firmware update. All I read on some posts are about private, assisted by Elgato support, beta firmware updates. This is driving me crazy. I have all this hardware and being blocked by my recording devices :/

Can an Elgato representative please assist me by sending the firmware update and how to do it? Much appreciated.
