This was configured for VLC 64 bit on Windows 10.

You're VLC Location(C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe) and Elgato Device Name(Game Capture HD60 S) may be different.

These options are also configured for a PS4 Pro so you may need to tweak your audio sample rate to match the device otherwise you may get audio problems/distortion.
