[Update PCI-e Bus for ElGato 4k60 Pro]

So, I bought the MK2. And now everything is going as I imagined.

My config, SAS controller, Network card, Graphic card, capture card.

 

Can you tell me how to view the properties? To see if the PCI info is displayed correctly.

 

That's good news! So the Mk2 fixed the multiple device issue?

Check PCIe lane Speed

How to check which PCIe speed 4K60 Pro MK.2 is using in software.

 

1) Download and install OBS Studio. 

 

2) Open OBS Studio

 

3) In the sources box, click the + button or right-click 

 

4) Select Video Capture Device and give the source a name

 

5) From the dropdown menu, select Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2

 

6) In the properties area, click on Configure. The 4K60 Pro MK.2 driver panel will open. 

 

7) Look for the PCI Info and ensure it reads as Gen 2 x4

What motherboard do you have now? I have the same attitude, nevertheless I have the 4 pcie entries. But I'll just try to use the same 0a:00.0 entry. Thank you for your quick response.

 

I have the Asus ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING motherboard.

 

I tried with "both" but the VM and the Unraid Server crashed when I passthrough the capture card.  I don't think that works with the Mk1.

 

i have tested the multi-function and the downstream in Advanced Vm Manager settings, now i can see the Card in Obs and Elgato Software, but i have no signal, wenn i reboot the vm unraid server crashed and reboot.

I'm using an Asus PRIME X470-PRO. I was using another board at the time of the righting of this post (mentioned in original post). I understand that not all motherboards use the entirety of the PCIe Bus when many devices are used. My guess is that the "Strix" line doesn't support PCIe as well as the board I just mentioned. I noticed this when I tried to add a third card to the last slot and I started to get the same PCIe Bux limitation on the last card. I suppose it's a good reason to go with a ThreadRipper. 

In my case, I managed to pass a 2070 Super and a capture card to the VM, but that's it. I can't pass in a USB hub so for the webcams I'm using Unraid's USB device selector prior to booting the VM.

I only have this

I passed it through using PCIe ACS Override under "Both", under the Advanced VM Manger settings.

Hi, I want my Elgato 4k60 Pro passthrough in a win 11 VM. But I have several in my VFIO list

Do you have all passthrough or just one. Thanks

Hey I solved the issue. I changed the motherboard. It now supports the passthrough and works like a charm

[Update PCI-e Bus for ElGato 4k60 Pro]

Hey there everyone,

 

I've recently managed to create a Windows 10 VM for streaming and I managed to do a passthrough of an ElGato 4K60 Pro Mk.2 using vfio-pci binding and alongside a Nvidia 970. At start I was getting an image issue since I was getting an odd green screen and I began to look into using ElGato's 4K Capture Utility to see if I got the same image that I was getting on OBS and I did...

 

I started looking into the setting I noticed that if I changed the EDID mode to 'Display' the error would be fixed.

Now, here's what I found so far and where I'm asking help. After looking into the matter, I realized that if you go to higher resolutions, the capture card will not work correctly. That EDID mode pretty much states the resolution of the capture, and the 'internal' capture is 4K. When it goes that high, it doesn't work giving the green bars from the image above. I tested this by trying to capture a high-resolution display and it gave the same issue.

 

I looked up this error, and lucky enough I think I found the problem. It seems that the VM that was created is not passing in the Capture card with the correct PCI-e Bus. I checked the motherboard specs, and it says that that all PCI-e slot is a Gen 3, it shouldn't be a problem (Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING second PCI-e slot). 

Here's the discrepancy I'm trying to resolve. The ElGato Documentation states that the card should sit on a Gen2x4 connection. But mine is registered as Gen2x1.

 

Is there a way I can change the specs on how the card should be passed through and force it to be the correct PCI GEN?

VM

 

 

[Why can I not install Windows VM on the disk?]

I had this same issue and what I did was to pass the drive vias it's IOMMU Group and assigned the drive as the main boot drive (the first it checks on boot). If it's not the main boot drive, I get that message.

 

Hope this helps. 

[Windows 10 Sound Card - Insufficient system resource to complete the api (code 10)]

Hey guys,

 

I managed to update my XML to have the sound card set on a separate bus. I managed to boot the VM with the sound card but now I'm getting this error.

 

 

 

I tried changing the bus and I still get the same error.

I tried to install the sound cards driver but it will not recognize the card and installation fails. 

 

Any help on why this is occurring would be appreciated.

Hey guys,

I stumbled on the same issue and was wondering if there was a solution. I did made as far as getting the error out of the way.

I found this post on the forums and it cleared the error. MY VM is up now with the sound card enabled on Unraid; detail is that I don't see it within the VM itself. I tried to run the sound card driver and no luck.

Update:

 

I can confirm as far as this. The sound card is passed but it's not recognized correctly. The installer attempts to locate the device but it's unsuccessful due to it's current state.

[Sound-card pass-through]

Hey guys,

I stumbled on the same issue and was wondering if there was a solution. I did made as far as getting the error out of the way.

I found this post on the forums and it cleared the error. MY VM is up now with the sound card enabled on Unraid; detail is that I don't see it within the VM itself. I tried to run the sound card driver and no luck.

In that discussion, some user is reporting it working with the following mod, try to add custom qemu arg at the bottom of your xml, before </domain>.

From your picture your pci passthrough should have the alias hostdev1.

If anyone has an update, it would be great.
