Any capture device with proper avcapture drivers should already work in the OS X version. Elgato does not provide proper drivers for their device, and thus support for it can't be implemented without actual assistance from Elgato.

It is also possible that they may make an avcapture driver available for their card, but you would have to ask them about that.

Ok but i know Elgato works on windows with OBS is it just an issue with Macs?

Manos34 you are probably in the wrong forum, you can always contact Apple about it as it seems it is a Mac hardware/software problem

What if there isn't a compelling reason to upgrade to Mavericks? I'm not really sure I want to burden my OS with extra disk space or compatibility or speed issues just because I want audio to work with OBS. Most of the features in Mavericks aren't really things I'd consider worth upgrading for.

Then you are of course free to not upgrade, but since OBS requires features that Apple didn't see fit to implement until either 10.9 or one of the dev releases between 10.8 and 10.9, you will not be able to use OBS unless someone submits patches that makes it compatible with previous versions.

I'm not quite sure what sort of compatibility or speed issues there would be from upgrading to OSX 10.9. Some people have audio working in 10.8, some people don't. Have you tried it yourself, or are you just assuming that it doesn't work for you?

No, it actually doesn't work for me. I've tried it with Soundflower, then WavTap, and they always say "info: coreaudio: failed to find device uid: ..." in the terminal console whenever I try to tell it to use Soundflower or WavTap as the desktop audio. I can stream the desktop itself just fine; just not the audio.

Alright. It's supposed to be fixed in the latest GIT repo, but you would have to either build it yourself (not recommended if you can't figure it out on your own) or wait for the next pre-alpha release, which shouldn't be that awfully far off.

pierpa91, this question was answered just a few posts ago. There are no actual drivers for us to work with, so there's nothing we can do. You will have to use Elgato's own application and monitor/display capture it.

The audio bug where audio wouldn't record in 10.8 has been fixed. 10.8 macs should work fine, it's only the really early releases of 10.8 that have issues.

So I like what you have so far, but will it ever be a possibility to get cam twist features to be visible on OBS as I am looking to stream once again. I used FMLE but that failed, then I found an alternative, cocoa split, and now it crashes when I hit stream. So I would like to know if at any time at all cam twist will be able to be seen so that I can stream once more.
