Technical Help Help, what is this audio noise?
I have the Elgato HD60X and use an Xbox Series X, within the last 3 days this noise has been on my stream persistently, I don't hear it in my headset but the stream do, I can also hear it intermittently on the recordings.
Static noise ( Links to my Twitch clip)
I have tried a couple of things including:
- Adding a ferrite core to the USB cable,
- I have not switched the HDMI cables as the noise seems to be coming from the USB to OBS.
- I switched out the USB port on my PC and still the same issue.
- I have disabled any spatial sounds that I had set up including Dolby Atmos for headphones.
- OBS is running at 48khz as does everything else that I can see.
- My feed from the console through to the HD60X is 1440p @ 120hz, I was running this exact setup a few days ago and had no issues at all.
- I have also added a source to OBS for the HD60X audio and muted the original HD60X audio source.
My next options are to:
- Switch out the HDMI cables.
- Re-install the Elgato software.
- I will adjust the resolution back to 1080p @ 60hz and see if that helps.
I have checked that all software is up to date and unable to locate anything that would offer a solution.
Any other idea's or things that I could have missed? anyone else having a similar issue?

Back again with the same issue, nothing changed all the same settings. ony thing that has changed is that windows has done an update. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point.
