Yup, having issues. Let me layout my setup, forgive me if this is a weird setup.

PS5 + Elgato HD60 S+ running thru to a MacBook Pro M1 Max on StreamLabs. I was using the Elgato GameCapture, but that thing is experience a bug that doesn't allow some to log into their Twitch. So I gave StreamLabs another shot and after a few hours of trial and error I was FINALLY able to get the ChatLink cable setup to work, now I can stream and my game audio also comes thru... the FIX was that I needed to change the HD60 S+ audio output to "Analogue" I don't even remember where or how I did it, but I know I did it.

Now... my issue is I would like to stream PC games with this set up, the PC would take the place of the PS5. I would like to switch between the two freely, but Game audio from the PC doesn't come thru on stream. I've watch dozens of YouTube videos, read a 1/2 dozen "how to" articles and I've even been on the StreamLabs discord and downloaded blackhole, they were very nice btw, but still nothing.

Is there anyone else who has this setup or am I an outlier and dummy to trying to do this? Is this impossible?

EDIT: I tried this in "off-topic" but this might actually be on topic? Since it has to do with video games

I dunno, the nice thing about pc streaming is that you don't actually need an external setup, I stream via OBS and it has GPU acceleration. So if your PC is decent enough, you might have a slight drop in GPU performance, but it's not taxing on the cpu at all.

Just stream from the same PC and use your GPU as the encoder. Modern GPU's should be able to handle a game and a stream at the same time.

Wait what? Like I don't need to use an Elgato thing to stream I seriously did not know that... you guys kinda just blew my mind

Okay... maybe I'll give that a try. I only really want to stream at 720/60 or 1080/30. I'll see if my PC can handle it, i7 10700KF w/3060Ti 32gb of Ram

With that setup you can stream at 1440p60 without breaking a sweat, I do the same and my gpu is slower than yours.

My internet is not the best, my landlord doesn't want to upgrade. I even offered to pay for installation and the extra monthly cost lol I'm currently sitting at measly 75 down/20 up. But, maybe I'll try 1440/60.

Thanks for letting me know about streaming straight from the PC... it was driving me crazy.

20 up should more than enough, you only need around 10k kbps CBR for 1440p/60 streaming.
