I've been trying to set up my twitch live stream so I can play console games (specifically PS4 for the Destiny beta). I did some research on (external) capture cards and went to best buy and bought whatever they had on the shelf. In short it didn't work (no video or sound, yes HDCP was off) and I had to take it back (it was a hauppauge PVR). I ordered a second card from amazon, and Elgato, and set that up. The Elgato showed video (no audio) but had a 2-3 second delay on it. I tried the audio/webcam delay fix but that didn't work, as the audio/webcam would eventually catch up (took about 10s) and then I would be back to square one with severely delayed game video. I was very upset considering the time and money I put into this venture, so I'm on my last leg and asking for help.
My setup is two monitors, dual screen plugged in both with DVI-D to my desktop. I usually play on the primary monitor and the second monitor has my OBS, spotify, chat, etc. I want to set it up so that my primary monitor has the PS4 gameplay and my secondary monitor has my OBS and chat. The problem with the external cards was the SEVERE delay I experienced, with no fix, and for a LIVE stream that won't cut it (not to mention if I ever wanted to record a youtube video I'd have to line up the audio and that's a huge hassle I shouldn't have to deal with).
So my question to you is this: I'm lost, I need guidance on what I should do. I've looked into PCI cards but I have no idea what I'm looking for or what will work. A live streamer I like watching uses the avermedia live gamer hd and experiences zero game play delay and even plays by watching the game capture window. I have no idea if this is what I need or if it's possible for me to do, so any help would me appreciated. Again, I tried two external cards and the one that worked had a delay I'm not willing to deal with, and the fixes did not help.
