OBS not picking up Switch

[theredshimmer]

Currently at my wits end. I've been working days on this issue. I've watched ten different yt tuts on how to hook up switch to obs. The monitor picks it up, but OBS doesn't. So it's not the capture card (Elgato HD60 S). I've had my friend help me, he's stumped. I've made sure everything is hooked up the way it. I've rebooted my computer. I've switch ubs cables, I've done literally everything Elgato website has told me. Why is it not working?????

(I'm also pissed that my switch 2 refuses to show on my tv but that's another issue.)

First, I get being frustrated... but remember, we are fellow users and volunteers

how to hook up switch to obs. The monitor picks it up, but OBS doesn't.

What does 'the monitor pick it up' mean? that could mean any number of different things, and technical specifics are critical to troubleshooting

My standard recommendation -
1. Check Operating System (OS) Auto-start processes and disable unnecessary/inappropriate ones, then reboot and let OS settle for a few minutes
2. While NOT starting OBS Studio, check Audio and video inputs ... this is a must do step... check working at Operating System level first, and only once confirmed there, move into OBS Studio
3. Before OBS Studio, make sure permissions are set correctly for devices and OBS Studio. For security reasons, I would never consider running OBS Studio with Admin priv's. but if you are you, take that into account regarding permissions.
4. Beware GPU drivers/software and associated settings can easily impact your results... and then basics of video basics of HDR, DRM, etc

So it's not the capture card (Elgato HD60 S). I've had my friend help me, he's stumped. I've made sure everything is hooked up the way it. I've rebooted my computer. I've switch ubs cables, I've done literally everything Elgato website has told me. Why is it not working?????

Please clarify connection specifics (specifically have you confirmed USB data path... most consumers can't do this... don't assume this is easy. Checking USB Root Hub may be required... see

Question / Help - Camera Limit? 3 work fine, 4th has problems

I got 5 video sources going through 3 USB inputs: 2 stereoscopic cameras and a video capture. My old Mac OAS can sense 5 cameras, (with both strereoscopic lenses as separate camera perspectives). I know my Mac OS can do 5 cameras, and was wondering if there was a way I can "chunk" the 2...

USB Root Hub related

). Are you plugging Elgato direct into CPU connected USB3 port, not into a hub or other shared bandwidth device?

(I'm also pissed that my switch 2 refuses to show on my tv but that's another issue.)

How are you SURE its another issue?


That said
1. your log does NOT include a Recording/Streaming session so many details missing

- you have audio devices at different sampling rates (never advisable) ... and your log shows failures

21:28:00.311: Capture Card HD60 S: data.GetDevice failed​

21:28:00.311: Capture Card HD60 S: Video configuration failed​

I'd suspect this is bound to be a large part of the issue

Why this color range format?

21:28:00.670: sample rate: 44100​

vs 48000 elsewhere? ... make consistent is advisable

streamelements is often correlated with problems... so beware, lots of oddities with that site (timeouts causing other issues) and plugin
and check documentation on proper settings

that seems like a low resolution... but I'm not a Switch user so can't say for sure this is a problem

same questions/comments as for USB camera above

Maybe someone else can advise on the following:

21:29:41.956: DShow: Run failed (0x800705AA): Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.​

the following is a problem though whether a result of the above issues, or indicative of another issue?

21:35:02.119: Max audio buffering reached!​

21:35:02.119: adding 960 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 960 milliseconds (source: Camera you bozo)​

21:35:02.140: Source Camera you bozo audio is lagging (over by 1379.39 ms) at max audio buffering. Restarting source audio.​

Have you run your OBS Studio log through the automated analyzer (link in my sig)
