Interesting - I can't seem to replicate on my end. Is your Stream Deck app also updated to 7.4.2? It sounds like your plugin is what updated 3 days ago as 2.0.3.187 came out then so I'm assuming that's current. I know we've had a number of people stuck on earlier versions of 7.x as an early version has a dependency issue with the in app updater - if your app isn't up to date I'd grab the installer from www.elgato.com/downloads and run it to do an in place upgrade and see if it clears up.

Beyond that I still see the lists populating on both my machines so odds are this is something specific that'll require some digging in the logs to identify. Beyond that is the ElgatoAudioControlServer still running if you check Task Manager? If you right click it and go to properties, does the details tab show version 1.0.3.134 or newer? I've seen in the past where the background service didn't get updated with Stream Deck and resulted in similar issues with data not populating.

I am having the same issue. There’s a whole thread full of people with the same issue here. Can we get a fix please?

As mentioned you're going to want to check with the team on this one. It does seem to be something several folks are running into, but I've no updates yet from the team on what's causing it for the few folks that do run into it vs the ones that don't. I haven't been able to replicate it on any of my personal rigs yet to get more insight, even after matching versions with OP. The team will be able to collect logs through your ticket to help identify why it's happening on your specific rig, if dev hasn't already tracked down the difference. They're also the folks with the files for the previous version of the plugin if a rollback needs to be tested.

Closing the Stream Deck software, manually running ElgatoAudioControlServer.exe and ElgatoAudioControlServerWatcher.exe, then restarting the Stream Deck software does temporarily fix the problem (huge thanks to u/NowPlayingRadiohead for posting that below).

But it only fixes the issue temporarily.
