In some rare cases, it may be possible that you are encountering an issue capturing audio from the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+.
Some reasons may be related to the USB 3 controller that the device is connected to. To find out what controller your Windows 10 system is using, simply type msinfo into the Windows Search, then open the System Information App.
Expand components than USB, on the right side of the Window you will see the Controller/s of your System, you may need to expand the Window to see the full details of the driver.
If you have an older system that still uses a Via USB 3 controller, and it does say (Microsoft) behind the Controller, that means the Microsoft driver is installed.
In this case, please install the driver from the Link below and then restart your computer:
