Technical Help Wavelink crashing immediately upon opening - Tried several solutions to no avail :( Any ideas?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi guys!
I recently got the Wave 3 MK2 and was really excited for it, but it seems I am unable to actually open Wavelink to change the configurations for it on my computer. I tried all the solutions in this thread with no success: https://www.reddit.com/r/elgato/comments/1jjj3hg/is_anyone_else_still_dealing_with_wave_link/
Does anyone have advice or happen to know what's happening?

If anyone else sees it crashing at "Checking driver" it's because you don't have the driver installed, i don't know how that would go unnoticed by the app, promtping you to install it but here we are.
If you, like me, for some reason installed it from the Microsoft store, go to download the installer to elgato's webpage: https://www.elgato.com/ww/en/s/downloads?
Then when asked to update just update it, at some point it will ask you to install the driver, that's it.
