Really helpful tips bro! I have a question though. I tried playing a game, but the sound was rerouted to Media instead of Gaming and I cannot change that. Would that be a problem for the stream or recording?
This has worked great besides one issue. This only happens when I try to play call of duty. I have everything set up just as you showed and whenever I load up COD it automatically gets loaded into the MIC channel and for whatever reason it wont allow me to manually move the COD app to the GAME channel. Do you know of a fix for this or why it would be occurring?
Thanks for the awesome vid, just one question: For some reason my mic mix is going in as mono, not stereo, through the stream mix. is there a way to fix that? I'd like to keep the stream mix stereo so that directional audio can be heard on stream :/
Please make a new update on this video because it was really useful and since the recent new update, I cannot 09:56 do this because sonar says "Routing is not working as expected. Retry or route the audio directly in the app." PLEASE HELPPPPP Thank you :)
I followed all steps exactly, but when I open the media into my video editor it is still all combined as 1 audio, i'm not getting the individual tracks of audio
This is godly. i tried to do this myself over a year ago using wave link but never thought to have the stream mix by itself and have the separate audio inputs off the 1st track. Super appreciate this tutorial mate!
I had to pause at 8 minutes because I have so much to say, I'll forget if I don't comment immediately LOL 1. Already another banger video posted at the perfect time 2.

call me boring but because of the specific window capture of audio feature that's been added to OBS you don't really need to use sonar anymore for this
Obs audio splitting is absolutely terrible and prone to issues. Win capture audio was the best solution as you could add multi exe's to a single source. But even that is having choppy audio issues now as of recently
@@reaperzrides3094you're right, i used win capture plugin for a year but a couple of months ago i encountered audio crackling issues regarding this plugin, and never found a Solution, so I had to uninstall it Steelseries sonar is a great option but have some issues routing audio at first glance, some alternatives could be Rode unify but have the same issues, and voicemeeter but this one presents a lot of latency
Hey, I've followed this guide to a T. and i keep hearing my discord members through my own stream mix and i make no sound over my stream, had 60hours of footage you could just hear my friends talking, it says i need to route my discord properly but ive watched your vid and multiple others PLEASE HELP
hey i commented about this before and looked at it, it was a mess lol. So i have a question/concern with sonar about the submixing. So when i add the stream mix its self that all the channels into one that i can control the app which is fine and works perfectly the issue im noticing is when i add the separate tracks (AUX, GAME, MEDIA) to obs on there own (mainly to avoid music in my vods) the app does not effect those tracks on obs just the stream mix track and so im really confused on that because isnt the whole point for me to control the audio through the app for the those tracks
I don't know if you look at comments on this video anymore but I have a question. If I have a capture card hooked up between and xbox and my laptop and use obs for streaming will this work. I ask because 1. My mic is plugged into the laptop but my headphones would be hooked up to my xbox controller. 2. All the audio from the games and music woukd be coming from the xbox through the capture card So would you even be able to create a seperate audio setting for say amazon music opened on an app on xbox playing in the background if its coming through the same capture card as the game audio?
Ok I just finished a game record. When I watch back in MKV I heard everyone but when I make it a MP4 all I heard is me and not the other people in my discord. What am I doing wrong?
I have set everything up exactly and still running into an issue. Even if i mute my microphone on OBS it still transmits my microphone through the Stream mix. I also used Sonar to change the mic, The stream mix is picking up the raw mic and not the Sonar edited version. any ideas?
Thanks for the info I went ahead and set up my audio like this and its really helped. One question though. How come when I stream to Stream labs OBS the audio doesn't split into multiple channels when pulled from the vod on twitch but only does so when recording through OBS not streaming live? Any assistance would greatly help. I took it as it would seperate the aduio levels regardless of where it was coming from at that point
Thank you for this super clear guide! I've watched this video months ago and have been using Sonar ever since. After a recent software update, OBS decided to forget all my Audio Device settings. But after running through this video again, I got everything up and running again within 5 minutes. Thanks man!
Wait, but if everything is going through the master mix, then I'm not able to put audio filters onto my mic output... Do I have to have everything go out of the master mix for the multiple exports to work?
Thank you for all the great info! I'm not great with this kind of stuff, so this might be a nonsense thing to say, but you mentioned there being lag when trying to monitor your mic by adding it to the personal mix. I noticed that there's a button underneath the Master sliders, next to the mute button for the stream slider. It looks like an ear, and when you hover over it, it says, "Listen to what your audience hears". I clicked that and was able to hear myself, and there wasn't any lag. (To be exact, there was maybe a split second difference between me saying something and me hearing it, but I only noticed when specifically listening for it.) I don't know if that's the same function you're referring to when talking about monitoring lag, or if that's something that's helpful. It was helpful for me while not streaming to be able to make some adjustments; I had Spotify and this video playing, and used those in place of game audio to fiddle with the mic settings. Hopefully it helps someone else, too! (If I'm totally off-base, please disregard. Like I said, I'm trash when it comes to audio tech/mixing/etc.) Here's a link to a screenshot of the button, in case that helps too: photos.app.goo.gl/Rh4c9yiT9nxgehof6
El Jay, great video & walk through. Noob question: when adding Discord audio, would I drag & assign it to Chat in Sonar or add a seperate Audio source in OBS? If I assigned it to Chat, then I would have to add an extra track in OBS so I could separate the audio when mixing if needed. Any thoughts from you or chat would be greatly appreciated.
When I finished recording and put it into the editor, the six audio things did not pop up. I’m not super certain what I did incorrect, and in the recorded video my Spotify music is extremely loud, even though it is at like level four out of 100
..... I am so confused. trying to set upo my twitch and nothing from the tutorials look the same.... no tutorial for twitch 1.15.... and now sonar looks different on my end... when i click the wheel on master i dont even have all of those options..
im not sure why but my discord is only on the stream mix and when editing i cant hear my friends without having all the other audio unedited, can anyone help?
Thankyou for this! This is so much better then what I was doing. Quick question, for other audio sources such as alert box, sound alerts, mixitup etc, how would we go putting those into obs as seperate audio tracks?
I don't know if it is due to an update or something else, but I set up my audio exactly as it is in the video. However, at a later date, when watching through a random part of a VOD, I noticed there was no sound whatsoever. I discovered that it was due to the wrong audio track being selected on the "Twitch VOD Track" section that is under the Settings -> Output -> Advanced -> Streaming section. However, this setting doesn't appear on your video and I can only select one track to play on the VODs. Which means all audio or no audio. Please help
So I've set everything up as in the video and it's great, however... Because the audio is now global... I can't turn things off per scene like I was doing previously by adding the audio sources for mic, game sound etc per their own scene. Unless I'm missing something?
I’ve just copied these settings and wow it’s made such a huge difference to my mic quality during recordings! I’ve just noticed however that when I am in a chat with a friend on steam and recording my gameplay my audio from my mic sounds really good and I can hear random other players mics but my friends mic is completely off. I can hear him during the game etc but he’s completely muted during the recordings? Any thoughts on why this is happening??
This video isn't that old, but i'm experiencing some issues where it's not the same as what's happening in the video. For example, I just opened up Spotify, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the Sonar mixer. I also have Fortnite open. It's gray with a line going through the volume control on the master channel (at the bottom) and I can't drag it anywhere. Right now I CAN hear Fortnite...but it's not something I can control in Sonar. Sigh. I want this to work though.
What about for filmora users? I did turn the file into mp4 but when i put it into Filmora it doesn't seperate the audio from the game audio. Could someone please help me
Don’t use Filmora, it’s not a real editing program, and will hold you back while wasting your time learning a tool that’s not worth it, use the free version of Davinci resolve.
@@StreamScheme dang 😭 i already bought it and idk if i can get a refund for it even if i wanted too since i got it during 2023 but thanks for the recommendation
Is there a specific editing software you use? In mine, it doesn't separate the audio into different sections when I put my video into the editing software.
i am having trouble with this. i downloaded steelegg right from the link. it seemed to install without an issue, i created an account. everytime i click "sonar|" it just says "just a few clicks away" followed by a greyed out button with a loading circle and it says starting but it never actually starts. i restarted the program and even my pc and it is still giving me the same thing
At 11 minutes and three seconds you just jumped straight into the clip where you were editing the video and the audio but I'm not I didn't really get a good understanding from that and I kind of really want to know more about that part is there any way that I can get referred a video to watch that could help me figure out how to I guess we would call it like edit and post production just more about those two things basically? So yeah could you probably point me in the right direction to maybe a video that you've made in the past That I could watch that has something to do with what I'm asking about please.
Unfortunately, there is a large problem currently when using SteelSeries GG. They force your game, media, and aux audio to be 24 bit 96KHz and so far, there is 0 ways to change your virtual audio drivers to be lower than this. This conflicts with OBS because the max audio sampling rate in OBS is 48KHz. Having different audio sampling rates will cause issues between OBS and SteelSeries GG so they need to be the same. One of the issues I had from inserting a log file is that I get maximum audio buffering and mismatched audio. I hope SteelSeries GG fixes this because the software is very useful for streaming.
Hi, I enjoy your videos and have watch many of them for streaming upgrades and extra stuff. But In this video i watched it many times and having some issues with where to out my alerts at and where to put what on each track. Do I put them under gaming track or stream mix track? Also same for my overlay sounds for my overlay music and their sounds they make like my transitions panel. please help I would appreciate it. Thanks. So to break down what I'm needing help with is: What tracks for these Alerts My sounds from my overlay My screen music, S.S, E.S, BRB.S, and Just chat/video replay screens Also does my pc sound settings need to be on ss gaming or stream mix as my default? So sorry for all the questions, but wished that was included on the video, As a person coming back into the streaming side again, there's a new learning curb for me. I have searched so many You tube videos for a answer, but have not found any for specifics on everything. If it is too much to list, I can always send you my email if that would help to send it there. Thanks again for amazing videos.

THANK YOU. Damn I was suffering with the instructions from SteeSeries itself. My issue? Where you choose your output audio device, stream audio device, and mic input device, I was setting the stream audio device as my headphones as well, and wasn't managing to get sound into OBS like that.
Hello, the left bar does lower and raise my volume but I can't get my Sonar to do the same as you did at minute 5:35 with the right bar, what could it be?
5:06 there are just a few slight problems. 1. i hear everything twice when i use both sliders which is just GOD AWFUL 2. everything just sounds a bit.....robotic and echoing Edit: Neverfucking mind i fixed the first problem by simply......watching the setup part of the video......my god am i that dumb
Love This! Liking & Following because I've had SteelSeries software and extra sonar audio inputs for the longest time and never understood them until now! The Only thing I missed/dont understand on here is how do I need it set up if I dont want the music playing in my VOD's but still want viewers to hear music on the livestream itself? Any help with that would be appreciated! If I missed it, please just give me a timestamp. Please & Thank You!
Hi and a BIG thanks for a great channel!! I have watch a lot of your videos to setup SteelSeries together with OBS. But I can't find how to actually get Discord for a separate sound track. The problem I have is that you don't hear my team mates from our Discord chat. And it seams that I cant drag Discord to chat in SteelSeries. Pls can you help me or link to a video of you explaining that :)
@StreamScheme Thanks for the guide mate. My only issue is with the VOD that gets autosaved from OBS on Twitch. For some reason the game audio is very loud in the saved VOD but everything sounds amazing while Live. I'm not sure where the issue is. Could you help please or anyone ?
Hi xD 😅 I’m not sure where to even begin asking questions. But if I wanted to improve my streams on twitch what are some tips? When it comes to work, I have a strong work ethic. However I’m not entirely sure what 🧐 objectives? Tasks? To focus on, as my thought process was to bring my enthusiasm and problem solving abilities from work to steaming Any tips people be appreciated 🙇♂️
Hi all, I did all that was instructed on video but I'm using Streamlabs. Question is, when I drop it into Clipchamp it still lists audio as one channel so can't be edited as split channels. Is this just because I'm using cheap free software or have I done something wrong?? Thanks
Everything is fine until I restart my PC. After that, OBS only "hears" my mic in the stream-mix. Even if I play games, music, etc. It only works once. :(
The media mixer didn't work with Spotify for some reason anymore. It was fine on day 1 but after a few Spotify freezes I uninstalled and reinstalled both Sonar and Spotify and the media volume level doesn't work for some reason no matter how much I configured. I moved from Media to Aux and back.
Hello! Great vid but I have one problem.. Everytime I Start CS2 it appears in Chat and after loading into the Menu it will appear into "Apps to be Routed" and it cannot be Routed. Do you know how to fix this?
HEY MAN I REALLY NEED HELP I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS just doesnt work with movavi because i tried it in capcut and it would atleast let me select what track i wanted but movavi wont even let me do that so i would really like if you could help me out thanks great video btw
I have watched your video and several others and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm using OBS with Sonar, followed your instructions and when I go back to watch my video on twitch, the only audio is my microphone. and the stream audience is not hearing anything either. maybe there's a button I forgot to click? everything shows up in Sonar and my audio mixer appears to be receiving sound in OBS but nothing is making it to the stream or the reduxed videos in twitch after stream. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help! I've started over and followed your video 3 x now. lol
I know this won't get the attention it needs but can you help me with setting up my oculus/virtual desktop/VRCHAT/OBS? I have an echo so I don't know what to do. Help me please.
Why can’t I find my devices in the drop down for personal, streamer, and mic in the mixer? My mic is there but my capture card that I get game audio from isn’t? Anyone help a brother out
Great video thank you. I ran into a problem with the very first setting you show roughly around time 3:08, where you show to add Sonar Stream to mic/aux audio 1. This is the problem I am having. I set this up like you show but no audio is picked up and what audio does get through is clipped. How do I fix this? I found I had to set the sonar stream to Desktop 1 to recieve audio in the OBS mixer. What am I doing wrong?
How would you hear audio from PS5 and PC in my headset, while being able to talk to PS5 party chat and PC with the one wireless headset? Im using voice meeter and I can hear everything but when i check my mic level on the PS5 it echos and gets louder and louder! help please! i liked and subbed!
when i link my audio up i can hear double audio, i can hear 1 from my personal mix and i additionally can also hear my audio from my obs mix, additionally i can also always hear my microphones audio, i need help.
Update, I unplugged the mic I was using and tried to use a new better mic, a message pop up on the new program, saying something like, switching to Microsoft audio or something like that can't remember exactly what it said, then my mic was so laod and could not control it from the new program, I un-installed it and it got worse, now all my settings are all messed up, please help
I followed everything as closely as possible i have all my tracks enabled and set up accordingly but know i get no noise at all in my recordings, i have both media and game set to stream and personal mix idk whats wrong please someone help!!!
If this is the case, usually you've set the Tracks incorrectly, OR the very start where you're meant to set the Stream, Personal, Mic settings in Sonar are incorrect.
When I record it only captures my Stream Mix. Ive checked 8 times that my settings are the same and it still only captures my stream mix and just ignores my microphone, media and gaming channel. Ive checked both obs and stremlabs and i seriously dont know what is going on
I think I'm going to uninstall this. It overrides my systems settings every time I turn on the computer. I looked on reddit and it's a big complaint on there. most people uninstall or you can edit the code. Which isn't something I'm interested in doing. If my kid wants to play video games I have change the settings every time!
Only Issue I am having is I need seperate audio tracks for my game, discord, and media but i can only have 2 deskop audio so i cant record content on with media and have comms for my game. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I get why we need to remux but I can't find the doc. I mean the video (recording) is in a file but if I search for a recording it doesn't show that video... what am I doing wrong?
Im having a problem,Its recording everything so well but today i was recording a gameplay while talking to my friend in discord.but it didnt captured my friends voice sell.his voice recoring was soo low that i cant even hear it.Please solve my problem
my friends audio in discord on my headphones randomly get quieter and louder randomly. any idea how to fix this? this started after I did this but not before edit: I disabled all of the equalizers and now it is working normally, I had them all set to default no clue why it made such a problem lol
After setting everything up, the audio on track one (the one sent out to stream) cuts in and out and is not clear. Though all the separate tracks work just fine. How can I fix track one?
amazing information but how would i make sonar suitable as a console creator? do i set as same track or as a different track? would love to see a video showing how to use with console if possible. also noticed in video where it shows audio mixer that all are set as off for audio monitoring, is this normal or do we need them set as monitor and output??? this was not covered in video and would be really useful to know. cheers
This software seems great, but it has a huge problem. Tons of people stream console games that they capture with a capture box or card. To get that audio to show up in sonar you actually have to open their software. A lot of these devices do not have software to open, and most of the ones that do cannot run while obs is actually capturing. Elgato 4K capture is one that will allow it, but it also takes up a lot of resources to run it as well as OBS and Sonar. You can set the capture card output as your microphone, but then your microphone isn't in that mix. If you want to use this with a capture card right now it's best to actually put your mic audio in OBS via the settings or audio device source.
Most physical mixers have the same problem with Capture Cards, almost every streamer I know with a GoXLR, Bridgecast, etc just puts the card right to OBS and turns on Monitoring Only to get around it. It isn't an issue with just the software, but actually with how Capture cards are often integrated into setups.
i havent been able to route my games onto sonar? I stream on a PC and use a video capture card to showcase my game footage. I recently set up sonar and now only my music, mic and discord chat appear to be available to route. After setting up sonar my game audio and also the audio to my sound alerts never come through. Any thoughts or ideas on how to figure it out?
@@StreamScheme thank you for replying. I use art is war audio tuning. Not sure if you know what that is but it uses voicemeter and if I am not in discord there is no coms audio in my game. When I’m in discord it’s fine but without it it’s just gameplay. Also no coms while recording
I've just set everything up but I need help. Iv had a gameplay clip be clipped by moments in the Steelseries app. Iv went to mute the chat (people I was talking to on the Xbox app) but the Xbox game bar app is going under game in the sonar tab and it wont let me move it into the chat option so there separate. Does anyone know a fix to this?
Also, in this method to make your headset, not the main headset, it makes your audio so bad. Like when we play competitive call of duty, it matters. This method makes my audio terrible. I don’t care about the the viewers audio.
This was working for me yesterday, but when I hopped on today, it says my game audio is coming through but I can’t hear it at all. It’s not a huge deal as long as it can be heard when I stream but it’s weird to not hear it on my side
Anyone know why my Streamelements isnt updating my follower count? A gained a few followers but it still says I'm at the amount I had a couple days ago.
i dont understand why you have to use Sona if you can just add audio captures in obs and use the track system also theres an option of auto mp4 remux without pressing 5 buttons. This video is so useless

I noticed that there's a button underneath the Master sliders, next to the mute button for the stream slider. It looks like an ear, and when you hover over it, it says, "Listen to what your audience hears". I clicked that and was able to hear myself, and there wasn't any lag. (To be exact, there was maybe a split second difference between me saying something and me hearing it, but I only noticed when specifically listening for it.) I don't know if that's the same function you're referring to when talking about monitoring lag, or if that's something that's helpful. It was helpful for me while not streaming to be able to make some adjustments; I had Spotify and this video playing, and used those in place of game audio to fiddle with the mic settings. Hopefully it helps someone else, too! (If I'm totally off-base, please disregard. Like I said, I'm trash when it comes to audio tech/mixing/etc.)
Here's a link to a screenshot of the button, in case that helps too: photos.app.goo.gl/Rh4c9yiT9nxgehof6
so I followed everything and its works fine but when I drag it to my editing software it's still all in one track. I use Wondershare Filmora 13 btw
did you find out why? I have the same issue
is there other software like sonar out there?
El Jay, great video & walk through. Noob question: when adding Discord audio, would I drag & assign it to Chat in Sonar or add a seperate Audio source in OBS? If I assigned it to Chat, then I would have to add an extra track in OBS so I could separate the audio when mixing if needed. Any thoughts from you or chat would be greatly appreciated.
Why do you select the stream output under Mic/Aux audio instead of desktop audio?
I got all same setting as yours, but I only hear my microphone’s sound in my VODS, is there any solution? 😢
When I finished recording and put it into the editor, the six audio things did not pop up. I’m not super certain what I did incorrect, and in the recorded video my Spotify music is extremely loud, even though it is at like level four out of 100
what editing software do you use ?
obs can do this by it self, you kind dont need these software. i can reach the same goals as him..
When this video was released OBS hadn't released that feature to the public and was still testing, time is a funny thing.
..... I am so confused. trying to set upo my twitch and nothing from the tutorials look the same.... no tutorial for twitch 1.15.... and now sonar looks different on my end... when i click the wheel on master i dont even have all of those options..
You may have forgot to turn on streamer mode I did personally.
im not sure why but my discord is only on the stream mix and when editing i cant hear my friends without having all the other audio unedited, can anyone help?
Always revisit this cause it's super helpful
Why when im editing im not getting seperate audio tracks
Either set up wrong or a low quality editing software, try in Davinci it’s free
Quick question, though. For SFX like Channel Point redeems that are just media sources in OBS that get turned on and off, how would you route that?
Yeah I was wondering that myself as I watched this. I would guess it all go through channel 1 though as that is the everything channel.
Thankyou for this! This is so much better then what I was doing.
Quick question, for other audio sources such as alert box, sound alerts, mixitup etc, how would we go putting those into obs as seperate audio tracks?
I would also like to know how to do this.
Hah for once IM AHEAD. I've already done this u.u
I don't know if it is due to an update or something else, but I set up my audio exactly as it is in the video. However, at a later date, when watching through a random part of a VOD, I noticed there was no sound whatsoever. I discovered that it was due to the wrong audio track being selected on the "Twitch VOD Track" section that is under the Settings -> Output -> Advanced -> Streaming section. However, this setting doesn't appear on your video and I can only select one track to play on the VODs. Which means all audio or no audio. Please help
So I've set everything up as in the video and it's great, however... Because the audio is now global... I can't turn things off per scene like I was doing previously by adding the audio sources for mic, game sound etc per their own scene. Unless I'm missing something?
I’ve just copied these settings and wow it’s made such a huge difference to my mic quality during recordings! I’ve just noticed however that when I am in a chat with a friend on steam and recording my gameplay my audio from my mic sounds really good and I can hear random other players mics but my friends mic is completely off. I can hear him during the game etc but he’s completely muted during the recordings? Any thoughts on why this is happening??
This video isn't that old, but i'm experiencing some issues where it's not the same as what's happening in the video. For example, I just opened up Spotify, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the Sonar mixer. I also have Fortnite open. It's gray with a line going through the volume control on the master channel (at the bottom) and I can't drag it anywhere. Right now I CAN hear Fortnite...but it's not something I can control in Sonar. Sigh. I want this to work though.
What about for filmora users? I did turn the file into mp4 but when i put it into Filmora it doesn't seperate the audio from the game audio. Could someone please help me
Don’t use Filmora, it’s not a real editing program, and will hold you back while wasting your time learning a tool that’s not worth it, use the free version of Davinci resolve.
@@StreamScheme dang 😭 i already bought it and idk if i can get a refund for it even if i wanted too since i got it during 2023 but thanks for the recommendation
Is there a specific editing software you use? In mine, it doesn't separate the audio into different sections when I put my video into the editing software.
Any decent one will do, Davinci resolve is free, if yours isn’t doing this, then yeah swap
@@StreamScheme Da Vanci isn't compatible with my GPU. Any other suggestions?
If OBS doesn’t let Sonar adjust audio. What are some troubleshooting tips?
What About for Mac OS?????
i am having trouble with this. i downloaded steelegg right from the link. it seemed to install without an issue, i created an account. everytime i click "sonar|" it just says "just a few clicks away" followed by a greyed out button with a loading circle and it says starting but it never actually starts. i restarted the program and even my pc and it is still giving me the same thing
At 11 minutes and three seconds you just jumped straight into the clip where you were editing the video and the audio but I'm not I didn't really get a good understanding from that and I kind of really want to know more about that part is there any way that I can get referred a video to watch that could help me figure out how to I guess we would call it like edit and post production just more about those two things basically? So yeah could you probably point me in the right direction to maybe a video that you've made in the past That I could watch that has something to do with what I'm asking about please.
Unfortunately, there is a large problem currently when using SteelSeries GG. They force your game, media, and aux audio to be 24 bit 96KHz and so far, there is 0 ways to change your virtual audio drivers to be lower than this.
This conflicts with OBS because the max audio sampling rate in OBS is 48KHz. Having different audio sampling rates will cause issues between OBS and SteelSeries GG so they need to be the same.
One of the issues I had from inserting a log file is that I get maximum audio buffering and mismatched audio. I hope SteelSeries GG fixes this because the software is very useful for streaming.
Hi, I enjoy your videos and have watch many of them for streaming upgrades and extra stuff. But In this video i watched it many times and having some issues with where to out my alerts at and where to put what on each track. Do I put them under gaming track or stream mix track? Also same for my overlay sounds for my overlay music and their sounds they make like my transitions panel. please help I would appreciate it. Thanks.
So to break down what I'm needing help with is: What tracks for these
Alerts
My sounds from my overlay
My screen music, S.S, E.S, BRB.S, and Just chat/video replay screens
Also does my pc sound settings need to be on ss gaming or stream mix as my default?
So sorry for all the questions, but wished that was included on the video, As a person coming back into the streaming side again, there's a new learning curb for me.
I have searched so many You tube videos for a answer, but have not found any for specifics on everything. If it is too much to list, I can always send you my email if that would help to send it there. Thanks again for amazing videos.
THANK YOU. Damn I was suffering with the instructions from SteeSeries itself. My issue? Where you choose your output audio device, stream audio device, and mic input device, I was setting the stream audio device as my headphones as well, and wasn't managing to get sound into OBS like that.
Hello, the left bar does lower and raise my volume but I can't get my Sonar to do the same as you did at minute 5:35 with the right bar, what could it be?
5:06 there are just a few slight problems.
1. i hear everything twice when i use both sliders which is just GOD AWFUL
2. everything just sounds a bit.....robotic and echoing
Edit: Neverfucking mind i fixed the first problem by simply......watching the setup part of the video......my god am i that dumb
Love This! Liking & Following because I've had SteelSeries software and extra sonar audio inputs for the longest time and never understood them until now! The Only thing I missed/dont understand on here is how do I need it set up if I dont want the music playing in my VOD's but still want viewers to hear music on the livestream itself? Any help with that would be appreciated! If I missed it, please just give me a timestamp. Please & Thank You!
Hi and a BIG thanks for a great channel!! I have watch a lot of your videos to setup SteelSeries together with OBS. But I can't find how to actually get Discord for a separate sound track. The problem I have is that you don't hear my team mates from our Discord chat. And it seams that I cant drag Discord to chat in SteelSeries. Pls can you help me or link to a video of you explaining that :)
@StreamScheme Thanks for the guide mate. My only issue is with the VOD that gets autosaved from OBS on Twitch. For some reason the game audio is very loud in the saved VOD but everything sounds amazing while Live. I'm not sure where the issue is. Could you help please or anyone ?
Hi xD
😅 I’m not sure where to even begin asking questions. But if I wanted to improve my streams on twitch what are some tips? When it comes to work, I have a strong work ethic. However I’m not entirely sure what 🧐 objectives? Tasks? To focus on, as my thought process was to bring my enthusiasm and problem solving abilities from work to steaming
Any tips people be appreciated 🙇♂️
Hi all, I did all that was instructed on video but I'm using Streamlabs.
Question is, when I drop it into Clipchamp it still lists audio as one channel so can't be edited as split channels.
Is this just because I'm using cheap free software or have I done something wrong??
Thanks
One thing went wrong with setting up my OBS.
The GAMING stream level did not show up in the audio mixer.
Nit sure why, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Everything is fine until I restart my PC. After that, OBS only "hears" my mic in the stream-mix. Even if I play games, music, etc. It only works once. :(
The media mixer didn't work with Spotify for some reason anymore. It was fine on day 1 but after a few Spotify freezes I uninstalled and reinstalled both Sonar and Spotify and the media volume level doesn't work for some reason no matter how much I configured. I moved from Media to Aux and back.
Hello! Great vid but I have one problem.. Everytime I Start CS2 it appears in Chat and after loading into the Menu it will appear into "Apps to be Routed" and it cannot be Routed. Do you know how to fix this?
HEY MAN I REALLY NEED HELP I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS just doesnt work with movavi because i tried it in capcut and it would atleast let me select what track i wanted but movavi wont even let me do that so i would really like if you could help me out thanks great video btw
I have watched your video and several others and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm using OBS with Sonar, followed your instructions and when I go back to watch my video on twitch, the only audio is my microphone. and the stream audience is not hearing anything either. maybe there's a button I forgot to click? everything shows up in Sonar and my audio mixer appears to be receiving sound in OBS but nothing is making it to the stream or the reduxed videos in twitch after stream. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help! I've started over and followed your video 3 x now. lol
I know this won't get the attention it needs but can you help me with setting up my oculus/virtual desktop/VRCHAT/OBS? I have an echo so I don't know what to do. Help me please.
@StreamScheme This is super helpful, but how do I get this to not pick up spotify in the VOD to avoid copyright strikes
My Mic doesn't work. I can choos eit in the mixer but nothing happens. I got a notification saying that there not something USB
Why can’t I find my devices in the drop down for personal, streamer, and mic in the mixer? My mic is there but my capture card that I get game audio from isn’t? Anyone help a brother out
Great video thank you. I ran into a problem with the very first setting you show roughly around time 3:08, where you show to add Sonar Stream to mic/aux audio 1. This is the problem I am having. I set this up like you show but no audio is picked up and what audio does get through is clipped. How do I fix this? I found I had to set the sonar stream to Desktop 1 to recieve audio in the OBS mixer. What am I doing wrong?
having same problem, let me know if u fixed it.
How would you hear audio from PS5 and PC in my headset, while being able to talk to PS5 party chat and PC with the one wireless headset? Im using voice meeter and I can hear everything but when i check my mic level on the PS5 it echos and gets louder and louder! help please! i liked and subbed!
when i link my audio up i can hear double audio, i can hear 1 from my personal mix and i additionally can also hear my audio from my obs mix, additionally i can also always hear my microphones audio, i need help.
i have a question, how do i set it up so that spotify DOESN'T save to my vods?
im trying to figure that out too
i fixed the issue. just have to turn it off in obs for vod track@@seancometa4913
Update, I unplugged the mic I was using and tried to use a new better mic, a message pop up on the new program, saying something like, switching to Microsoft audio or something like that can't remember exactly what it said, then my mic was so laod and could not control it from the new program, I un-installed it and it got worse, now all my settings are all messed up, please help
I got a problem, I kept hearing myself when I'm talking in Discord, does anyone know why?
what editor did you use or have you got a video on good editing software with obs. thanks
I followed everything as closely as possible i have all my tracks enabled and set up accordingly but know i get no noise at all in my recordings, i have both media and game set to stream and personal mix idk whats wrong please someone help!!!
UPPDATE: i reset everything and tried again now my mic audio is in the clip but no gameplay audio any advice?
UPDATE V2: My neurons have never fired harder i think i fixed it
I'm having the same problem i have no sound in my stream and recordings
If this is the case, usually you've set the Tracks incorrectly, OR the very start where you're meant to set the Stream, Personal, Mic settings in Sonar are incorrect.
When I record it only captures my Stream Mix. Ive checked 8 times that my settings are the same and it still only captures my stream mix and just ignores my microphone, media and gaming channel. Ive checked both obs and stremlabs and i seriously dont know what is going on
I think I'm going to uninstall this. It overrides my systems settings every time I turn on the computer. I looked on reddit and it's a big complaint on there. most people uninstall or you can edit the code. Which isn't something I'm interested in doing. If my kid wants to play video games I have change the settings every time!
Only Issue I am having is I need seperate audio tracks for my game, discord, and media but i can only have 2 deskop audio so i cant record content on with media and have comms for my game. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I get why we need to remux but I can't find the doc. I mean the video (recording) is in a file but if I search for a recording it doesn't show that video... what am I doing wrong?
Im having a problem,Its recording everything so well but today i was recording a gameplay while talking to my friend in discord.but it didnt captured my friends voice sell.his voice recoring was soo low that i cant even hear it.Please solve my problem
my friends audio in discord on my headphones randomly get quieter and louder randomly. any idea how to fix this? this started after I did this but not before
edit: I disabled all of the equalizers and now it is working normally, I had them all set to default no clue why it made such a problem lol
After setting everything up, the audio on track one (the one sent out to stream) cuts in and out and is not clear. Though all the separate tracks work just fine. How can I fix track one?
amazing information but how would i make sonar suitable as a console creator? do i set as same track or as a different track? would love to see a video showing how to use with console if possible. also noticed in video where it shows audio mixer that all are set as off for audio monitoring, is this normal or do we need them set as monitor and output??? this was not covered in video and would be really useful to know. cheers
This software seems great, but it has a huge problem. Tons of people stream console games that they capture with a capture box or card. To get that audio to show up in sonar you actually have to open their software. A lot of these devices do not have software to open, and most of the ones that do cannot run while obs is actually capturing. Elgato 4K capture is one that will allow it, but it also takes up a lot of resources to run it as well as OBS and Sonar. You can set the capture card output as your microphone, but then your microphone isn't in that mix. If you want to use this with a capture card right now it's best to actually put your mic audio in OBS via the settings or audio device source.
Most physical mixers have the same problem with Capture Cards, almost every streamer I know with a GoXLR, Bridgecast, etc just puts the card right to OBS and turns on Monitoring Only to get around it.
It isn't an issue with just the software, but actually with how Capture cards are often integrated into setups.
In this program it could be easily done if they just added one more assignable input like the microphone is. @@StreamScheme
i havent been able to route my games onto sonar? I stream on a PC and use a video capture card to showcase my game footage. I recently set up sonar and now only my music, mic and discord chat appear to be available to route. After setting up sonar my game audio and also the audio to my sound alerts never come through. Any thoughts or ideas on how to figure it out?
My mic is echoing in my OBS recording. Any ideas why?
You’re listening back to it, or have it playing on multiple channels with one being picked up by another
@@StreamScheme thank you for replying. I use art is war audio tuning. Not sure if you know what that is but it uses voicemeter and if I am not in discord there is no coms audio in my game. When I’m in discord it’s fine but without it it’s just gameplay. Also no coms while recording
I've just set everything up but I need help. Iv had a gameplay clip be clipped by moments in the Steelseries app. Iv went to mute the chat (people I was talking to on the Xbox app) but the Xbox game bar app is going under game in the sonar tab and it wont let me move it into the chat option so there separate. Does anyone know a fix to this?
Okay but using sonar how do I separate music so that I can remove it from my VOD? It only gives me the option for steel series stream and mic
I dont get the audio track routing... I can only hear myself (my mic) in my vods on twitch. This is the most confusion thing ever... :O
I did everything step by step but i cant stop my mic from going to both my stream mix and my mic. Everything else works fine for me
Also, in this method to make your headset, not the main headset, it makes your audio so bad. Like when we play competitive call of duty, it matters. This method makes my audio terrible. I don’t care about the the viewers audio.
This was working for me yesterday, but when I hopped on today, it says my game audio is coming through but I can’t hear it at all. It’s not a huge deal as long as it can be heard when I stream but it’s weird to not hear it on my side
Is it possible to stream through OBS with a regular headset plugged into an Xbox Controller?
Anyone know why my Streamelements isnt updating my follower count? A gained a few followers but it still says I'm at the amount I had a couple days ago.
i dont understand why you have to use Sona if you can just add audio captures in obs and use the track system also theres an option of auto mp4 remux without pressing 5 buttons. This video is so useless
