Hello. I'm new to these forums so I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place. If I am posting in the wrong place, please let me know and I'll place it in another location in the future.
Anyways recently, I tried to get back into live streaming and I wanted to stream on Hitbox. I have done several test streams prior to my official return and those streams ran ok. When I did it officially, I ran into serious issues involving video lag and audio cut outs! (If you want to know what game I test streamed on, it was Super Smash Brothers for Wii U. As for the official stream, it was Sonic Unleashed on Xbox 360.) Since the failure of the official stream, I have been doing a lot of test streams to find the right settings to be able to live stream at a high quality at 30fps. However, I haven't found any solutions as of yet. Here are my settings for each setting, system specs and my Speed test results:
Speed Test result (Speedtest.net):
Here are my current system specs:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Techincal Preview 64 bit
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-core Processor 3.30 GHz
RAM: 16 GB (7.98GB usable @1333Mhz)
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AMD Motherboard
Graphics card: PNY 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Overclocked

If anyone can help me figure out how I can fix this issue and what setting to try out, please let me know. Thank you.
Edit: I changed around the properties of my Elgato HD60 and set up a custom resolution. It turns out that I can stream at 720p 30fps, but not 1080p. I guess if I want to stream at 1080p 30fps, then I'll have to upgrade my computer's hardware.
Edit 2: It turns out that I can do 1080p 30fps after all. The main issue I was having was the fact that the drivers for my Elgato were outdated. When I updated to latest version of Elgato's software, it gave me the drivers needed to fix my issues altogether! I figured this out by searching around and found a forum post from someone on a competitor's site and it said what I just explained.
