**UPDATE 5/18** Another fix to the high pitched whine seems to be using a 3.5mm ground loop noise isolator. They're not overly expensive at about 8-9 dollars but here is an affiliate link to check one out on Amazon if you'd like to give it a shot. I haven't had a chance to test this yet but it is CERTAINLY a better solution than my 'unplug the charging cable' answer which isn't viable for wired controllers as some commenters have pointed out. Props to Ark2ruX for the assist in that pinned comment!

As I've ramped up my streaming, I needed a way to capture party chat audio on the PS4 so I could make cooler videos. But, while the Elgato Chat Link Cable is helpful, there are some hiccups you can run into so I figured I'd give you a few tips to get the most out of your Elgato product and ensure you get good, clean audio from your party chat!

If you're thinking of picking one up yourself, please consider supporting this channel by using my Amazon affiliate link :) http://amzn.to/2HgE8eG
