How To Fix Your Elgato 4K X Not Working On Your Mac And iPad Pro After Updating To macOS 14.5

If your Elgato 4K X is not working with your Apple Silicon Mac computer such as your MacBook Pro M1 M2 M3 or your Mac desktop such as your Mac Studio M1 M2 after updating to the latest macOS 14.5 Sonoma. Then this workaround "fix" suggested by Elgato should get you back to some semi-working condition.

Now I say semi-working condition because this "fix" only takes you back to your 4K X being usable in 5Gb/s mode, which will allow it to be seen by you iPad Pro again, if your 4K X had previously been set to 10Gb/s, which makes it incompatible with the iPad Pro. Plus you "should" now be able to use it again in OBS on your Apple Silicon Mac but only in 5Gb/s mode.

On this point of the 5Gb/s mode. This means that you will be missing certain functionality that the 4K X was designed to do at 10Gb/s. Plus, the issues of lack of rec.709, MJPEG being used when it's not indicated and a bunch of other issues, still remain.

Here's the suggestion that was made by elgato_james and Thank You 👍 elgato_james for your help.
Try this - Disconnect 4K X and reboot your mac. Once it boots, do NOT open any video apps. Open Capture Device Utility an see if you can disable 10 Gbps support.
