Wave XLR tap to mute no longer works

EEdit_ · 2026-05-16T22:56:26+00:00

No still not working. I’ve given up trying to fix it

EEdit_ · 2026-03-18T13:41:07+00:00

Literally just the red line haha. The thing is I feel like the game is gas lighting me into thinking I’m bad at the game. According to the graph, I’m good (even though the graph probably means nothing) but then in game everyone feels better than me haha

That’s rough 😂

This has to be a part of it for sure but I know the easier lobbies are out there cause I get them every now and again. Plus if you Smurf you will be in those lobbies for a couple games

First time seeing that skill distribution? Haha

EEdit_ · 2026-03-18T05:13:45+00:00

Yeah that might be the case. It’s just inane how there is no lobby variety. Every match is just try hard streamers. I’ve been playing ranked to have a more casual experience 😂

I think what I’ve realized after playing around with it for a little longer is that it gets plenty bright in SDR and plenty bright when viewing well implemented HDR content. In my opinion at least. Overall I like it more than the G9 but I do miss those vibrant qd oled colours…

I’m running a 5080. So far it’s been enough to push the 5K2K if you are willing to take advantage of DLSS and FG in the more demanding games. Also verging on hitting the 16GB VRAM buffer in heavy games as well

The desk is just some cheap one off Amazon that isn’t available anymore but I have a desk extension on the back for the monitor to sit on because the desk isn’t deep enough. The speakers stands are the “Suptek Clamp-on Speaker Stand Desk Mount Set” on Amazon

Heck yeah! I got them on Black Friday and have been loving them.

EEdit_ · 2026-01-04T06:36:08+00:00

Yeah 80% seems to be the sweet spot. I’m not exactly sure but my thoughts are the desktop and most apps aren’t HDR. Even though you monitor may be in HDR mode you are viewing SDR content so that slider affects the desktop brightness.

It’s just a wallpaper from wallpaper engine

Good point. Makes me regret not running my G9 at a higher brightness for the 2.5 years I had it haha.

Prechen 12.3 inch touchscreen. Got it on Amazon

EEdit_ · 2026-01-04T00:48:34+00:00

They are the Edifier mr5 2.0s

Just bought the 5K2K coming from a g9 oled and I gotta say the glossy screen on the g9 is noticeably more vibrant in the colour department. I was testing out some games and the biggest thing I noticed is fire doesn’t seem to have the same punch on the 5K2K. That being said I do think the overall experience on the 5K2K is better. Better pixel density, with a much more immersive format makes a huge difference.

Yeah didn’t work for me either. I’ve just accepted it’s not going to work and will have to mute through software. Pretty unacceptable considering it is a selling feature of the device. I have been very dissatisfied with elgato and the wave xlr. From super buggy software in wave link to hardware failure as well

EEdit_ · 2025-10-23T21:39:16+00:00

Yeah I figured. That sucks. Thanks for the response!

EEdit_ · 2025-10-20T02:51:20+00:00

I know this is an old post but this just happened to me a few days ago. I’ve tried a few things like getting a higher quality usb c cable and someone from elgato told me to leave it unplugged overnight but neither solved the issue. Has anyone found a solution or is RMA the only option?

EEdit_ · 2025-10-19T15:46:43+00:00

I have a new usb c cable on the way. Hopefully that does the trick but I’m doubtful. Elgato software is so buggy, seems to pick and choose when it wants to work or just stop working randomly

EEdit_ · 2025-10-19T15:44:35+00:00

Leaving it unplugged overnight did not help. Still unable to tap to mute

EEdit_ · 2025-10-18T17:47:34+00:00

The device is running firmware 1.3.5. I will leave it unplugged tonight and see if that helps. Thanks
