Question / Help Extremely bad delay with Elgato HD60 PC

[Michael Hirakida]

I'm trying to use my Elgato HD60 to record games like Serious Sam 2 and Half Life 2 Lost Coast. Unfortunately, I am getting a severe delay in audio and video in my Elgato Footage. I wish I could show you the video to show you how bad it is but Unfortunately I cannot upload it here. Lets just say it's a very bad 3 second delay in video and audio. I am not sure what to do since this is my first time using my Elgato HD60 for PC. I always used it for consoles and it worked perfectly fine. I'm going to give you the log:

I need help badly. It never was this badly out of sync when I record consoles.

Which model of elgato are you using?
https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/game-capture-hd60-pro
Elgato models without instant game view (elgato HD / HD60) have audio+video delay of mostly 1-3 seconds. USB 2.0 is too slow and require heavy compression for 720p 30fps or higher which causes this delay.

Elgato with instant gameview have far less delay (HD60-S, HD60 Pro, and possibly future models)

Capturing both video and audio through the same capture device should keep them mostly in sync with both delayed by the same amount, such as capturing video game console. Are you trying to capture delayed video from elgato, and no-delay audio from speakers, stereo mix, mic, line in? You can try to manually add delay to some of your sound mixer sources in OBS audio settings.

I wish I could show you the video to show you how bad it is but Unfortunately I cannot upload it here. Lets just say it's a very bad 3 second delay in video and audio.

Upload to YouTube or somewhere, and give us the link to the video.
