With the current version of OBS, there might be an issue that is preventing the use of two Live Gamer HD cards at the same time, though I am hoping for the person who initially reported it to get back to me about it.

I myself have four capture cards in my PC, and I can use all of them at the same time, but they're not LGHD cards.

Is it four of the same capture card you are using ??

I have three of the same model, and one different. I expect that many capture cards will work (unless driver limited) with several cards of the same model.

I am not sure if the LGHD actually DOES have an issue with more than one card with the latest fixes, I just know that it MIGHT. I unfortunately can't confirm it, as I can't test it myself.

Other people have used two LGHDs in Windows (according to Avermedia forums), so its not a hardware or Windows limitation. The limitation might be with OBS, from the sounds of it at least.

Boildown pls. I'm saying there MIGHT be an issue using two LGHD cards with the current release version of OBS, because one guy reported it as not working and then disappeared forever before I could get him to test a potential fix for it.

Everything I said was entirely related to OBS, not to the LGHD in any way, other than it being used with OBS.

I like the bed feature.

You might try some higher end equipment designed for multiple simultaneous inputs, if you're as willing to spend some coin on getting things very nice as it seems.

Check some of the capture cards in this thread, for example: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1180

Re: Using two avermedia live gamer hd. at the same time, hel

Well, as far as we know, using multiple capture devices should work fine, especially in the latest test version of OBS. So you should be fine.

Re: Using two avermedia live gamer hd. at the same time, hel

So getting a second Avermedia live gamer hd.
should not be any problem running both of them at the same time in the same PC,

Sounds like i'm getting one more here next month.

Thanks for the help everyone

My wife and I are trying to do the same and having no luck. We had originally bought 2 Elgato HD60 Pro's but they both won't fit in the new PC as the vid card covers the extra slot., so we bought an Elgato HD60S. The problem we are having is the OBS software won't see both cards. We've been trying several different things but nothing works. We would love some help from anyone that can. We stream nightly at 7pmAST at www.twitch.tv/xenandcl so you can see what we are trying to do. We are both playing on separate Xbox One's and both have separate Mic's. Everything seems to be good except we can't get the 2 cards to work at the same time. I have a feeling we may have to buy a 4th card which will have to be the AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme which means another $300 on top of the $750 we've already spent. We truly need some help.

You're talking about Elgato in a 2.5+ year old thread about Avermedia devices. You should make a new thread and/or search for a similar thread about Elgato devices.

As it turns out, @LtRoyalShrimp can provide a special driver to get certain Elgato cards to work simultaneously, as described here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/2-elgato-one-pc-with-obs-stream.47937
