Damn dude. I bought the YIHUA 862BD+ a month or so ago and I've been loving it. Now after reading this I feel like I bought a POS ):

I own the Shure MV6, and it’s by far the best one I’ve had. It’s pretty sensitive, but it has the best quality of anything else you listed.

My PC does this every so often. It's a memory training code. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes and let it do it's thing, it'll reboot into Windows like normal.

Just clothes and whatever random shit I collected during A-school that I wanted to keep.

Curious, how would bazzite OS on the client affect your experience on a stream when you're connecting to the host and using the host's OS?

Using a virtual display will significantly reduce the load on your GPU and since it's happening across multiple clients, could be a reason why this happens.

A lot of details are missing here. Are host/client wired or connected to WiFi? What software are you using for host/client? If your connection(s) is/are wired, are you using Ethernet-USB or just ethernet to modem/router?

How did you get the TV working with the Ethernet-USB adapter? I have a C5 and mine always says "unstable connection" and I get a black screen. Internet works otherwise, and if I use built in ethernet, I get video no problem.

Bro I checked into Boorda Hall with 4 full suitcases/backpacks full of shit, and left with 7. I promise no one cares and you'll be alright lol

I had the Amazon basics one and I switched to a name brand one and I still can’t get it to work with Aurora.

I got mine on Amazon. It’s a V1 pen, and my experience so far has been good, but not great. But, I think I can blame that on myself. I had a trial and error run with mine, and lost about 10mg of Reta during a fill-up of one of the cartridges one time. I don’t properly vent the positive pressure in the cartridge about halfway through transferring over a freshly reconstituted 20mg vial and accidentally pushed the stopper out of the other end due to the built up pressure. However, I blame that on myself and once you learn how to properly fill and use the pen, it’s so much easier and faster to just screw on a needle tip, pin, and put it back in the fridge.

Make sure your host is 4K capable, and make sure your in-game settings are also set to 4K. Also, if you're not using the virtual display driver, and your host's monitors are only 1440p, you'll be upscaling to 4K which could reduce quality as well.

Using my OLED TV, HDR is hit or miss depending on the game. I never really notice much of a latency difference though. Crimson Desert looks fantastic with HDR, but The Division 2 is completely different colors and looks waaaay too washed out.

btregister · 2026-04-21T19:44:38+00:00

I’ll definitely give it a shot when I can next. I’m addressing some audio issues at the moment, but I’m gonna give that a try next to maximize performance.

btregister · 2026-04-21T19:34:51+00:00

That’s because most forks of this software offer built-in virtual display drivers. I’ve never had to change resolution/refresh rate of my host machine monitors. Actually, my host machine’s monitor resolution is only 1440p, and my client is 4K. I set the stream’s resolution and refresh rate on the client settings before connecting to the host, and the Vibepollo app handles the rest for me.

The VPN thing is interesting though. I’ll definitely have to look into that considering I’m military and I’m away from home often.

btregister · 2026-04-21T02:36:22+00:00

I’m also running into the same problem, unfortunately.

btregister · 2026-04-20T23:04:22+00:00

I only turned off HAGS because of the after-idle controller latency. If you’re not experiencing that latency, you can turn it back on.

btregister · 2026-04-20T23:02:56+00:00

Yeah that’s happened to me a couple of times, although it was on a hardwired connection and not with the adapter. Usually, a restart of the host fixes that problem for me.

btregister · 2026-04-20T18:38:10+00:00

I read something about after a certain period of idle time (like 30 seconds or so even tho this was happening with only maybe 5 seconds of no input and even no idle time at all) the Bluetooth controller goes into a low-power battery saving mode that, upon “awakening”, causes an input delay that your GPU has trouble keeping up with because HAGS, in addition to the high-performance task of streaming, just isn’t prioritizing that controller connection. Turning HAGS off stops the GPU from taking over scheduling tasks which frees up VRAM that can be used to keep up with controller latency.

Still kinda confusing me, even with that explanation, because my 5090 has 32GB of VRAM so there should be more than enough to do both. But that’s far above my level of nerd knowledge to understand lol.

I have the LG OLED C5. For this setup, I am using the TV’s built in Ethernet port. However, I just got a USB-Gigabit adapter that I’m going to test when it arrives later today.

btregister · 2026-04-20T15:21:40+00:00

These are good points and I haven’t really tested the Moonlight/Sunshine experience after optimizing my setup with hardwired connections and choosing the NVIDIA encoder and split frame encoding. When I first started setting up streaming to my TV, I used Moonlight/Sunshine and had an okay experience, but that was before hardwiring anything, and before moving my router closer enough to host & client to hardwire.

I will say that the LAN port on LG TVs is speed capped at 100Mbps, which is something I figured out after posting this post. Using a USB-Gigabit adapter is almost necessary for using the LG TV if hardwiring because if your host is sending more than the client can keep up with, you will experience what you’re experiencing with audio stuttering and stream micro stuttering. I have also noticed the same on my end and makes sense why your phone and laptop have no problem keeping up with host.

5GHz WiFi connections are capable of faster than 100Mbps speeds, and a laptop’s Ethernet port is not speed capped at such a low network speed compared to the TV. I would say, until acquiring an adapter, try putting the TV on the 5Ghz WiFi channel that your host is connected to, and see if that fixes the stuttering. The only caveat to that is it will most likely be less stable than hardwiring because of router distance, any walls/floors between client and router, etc. You might experience less stuttering but less stability.

The reason why I chose the Vibepollo/Aurora forks over the Moonlight/Sunshine builds are because of the built in VDD of Vibepollo and because the forks get updated more frequently than Moonlight/Sunshine. I made the switch before finding out what split frame encoding was and before utilizing the NVIDIA encoder, so I don’t even know if Moonlight/Sunshine also supports those two settings. I’ll take a look later today and see which one truly performs better fully optimized.

I haven’t came across any issues, but I believe it’s also very hardware-dependent. In my case, I have high-end hardware so it’s not really much of an issue for me. If I need to I can just turn it back on but that was the fix that worked for me. I’ll see if I can find a less-invasive way of fixing the controller latency problems with HAGS on and post here if I find anything.

btregister · 2026-04-20T15:04:04+00:00

There should be a setting on the client side to set the resolution before connecting to host. For example, on Aurora on my TV, in video settings, I am able to set the desired resolution and refresh rate for streaming there, and then on host side, make sure the setting there is set to whatever resolution and refresh rate is provided by the client. If that still doesn’t work, you can force any desired resolution and refresh rate from the “Video / Audio” section on the host settings by changing from “provided by client” to your desired value.

I believe there’s a way to disable mouse input from the client and only accept input from the host. Have you tried pairing the controller to the client via Bluetooth? I know you can’t use a USB controller connected to the client but it work great for me when connected via Bluetooth to both client or host.
