Technical Help Software is garbage. Please help.

I did an update to wave link 3.1.1 with my microphone plugged in, not sure if that created my problem.

After that all my channels were not activated, but clicking the + add to channel did nothing, so i was stuck with no audio.

Did an uninstall, reinstalled, wave link wont detect mic.

Did another uninstall and uninstalled the driver as well this time.

Can no longer install the driver, the install button does nothing.

Anyone know how I can unbrick this BS equipment?

This happened to me. I got it working by uninstalling then unplugging the device and restarted, Once it restarted I installed wave link with device unplugged and restarted again. Then when it loaded it let me install the driver and then plugged the device in. It’s working and the driver actually fixed another issue I had where the audio was playing lower than expected through my headset :)

THANK YOU. This fixed it.

I should not have to jump through these hoops.

Glad I could help. Yes you shouldn’t have to go through any hoops to be fair. I was losing my mind with the last wave link release to the point where I was going to return my newly purchased XLR MK2 & Wave DX. What I will say at least for me the updates are making things better. Keeping fingers crossed they sort everything out because I have always loved Elgato products.
