This is by far the best video explanation I’ve seen thus far. Bravo!! I’ve had my GoXLR plugged into my gaming PC for a couple years now and could not figure out now to reverse it. Thank you for making this!!
Thank god. Most videos i saw had people plugging the Go XLR plugged into the gaming system itself and then routing back to the streaming pc. to me you lose more control this way so i'm glad to see this. I thought i was taking crazy pills with my setup :)
omg brother you are a savior! Thank you. This is the only video I have found that actually walks you through setting up the XLR on the streaming PC. Not even TC Helicons YT channel has a guide to that, at least that I could find. Thanks again Man!
YO I FUCKING LOVE YOU😂 this video came in clutch. I was literally thinking about sending it back to Amazon after watching other videos and finding no help. This video really helped a lot. You deserve a lot of damn subscribers 💯 lets go bro
@@P1xelPerfect All good bro. I ended up using another mic I had somewhere in my room as my gaming microphone. I appreciate the help from this video though!!
This is the best video I’ve watched for this I’ve been trying to set up my stream but always running into some sort of problems this will fix all my issues!
i love your water garden hose analogy. you could use the term TAP. like where does water come from in ur house/backyard. A tap. so thats how u could have signified flow direction
Awesome! Thank you, You came in clutch! This setup is working for me nicely, I used my RIG + Gaming LapTop to stream it, quick question, is the Ground loop isolator supposed to go specifically anywhere, I connected it before going into the GOXLR coming from Gaming RIG PC, at times there’s little static feedback from noises, it does not bother me a lot but was wondering I connected it properly/if it is normal to hear that at times.
4:10 you could just get a secondary microphone if you didn’t want to go through that hassle, and it’d be good for a backup if the GoXLR were to die mid stream
Nice video, considering having a dual pc setup . What mixer would you recommend in 2024 that will be best for dual pc streaming and easy to setup? Will it still be the go xlr even it will have no updates ?
Hello, Excellent and very clear explanation for beginners with 2pc setup and goxlr. I have the same setup and it works very well. Now, how should I do to enable ducking with goxlr, I couldn't find a way. Any suggestions?
@@P1xelPerfect One question: I'm using an Elgato capture card as well. Is any audio supposed to be going through the capture card channel in my streaming software (SLOBS)? The video goes through fine, and all of the audio is routing perfectly via the GOXLR (thank you again), so I realize this is probably an obvious answer, but I just want to quadruple-check that the capture card channel is NOT supposed to be registering any audio. (I tried to search "GOXLR and Elgato Capture Card" on your channel but didn't find anything that specific. Which is probably a "me" issue because my brain is fried after 3 days of working on this.)
@@MoreThanAMia correct! If you are using the digital optical method i showed in this video then no audio will pass through the capture card as its getting routed directly into the go xlr.
@@P1xelPerfect Great! Thank you so much for responding. I did a test video and everything looks and sounds great. Crossing fingers for my first dual-PC/GOXLR stream today! You have been *incredibly* helpful. I've subscribed to your channel and joined your Discord server as well. Thank you again!
Yoo broo great tutorial but when I’m on my gaming pc I don’t have the realtek digital output option and I can’t set the line in to default any help would be appreciated
For being a new user to a goxlr and seeing this I was so confused cause you didn’t specify which port the connection to the streaming pc. Reason I got confused is cause the usb connection and the spdif look rather similar. And audio is not my thing at all I find that the hardest thing on a pc. So for someone like myself probably should’ve shown the cables lol
This video is old, but I'm giving this a shot. I recently ran into some audio issues with my dual streaming setup and decided to restart and reconfigure and used this video as a template for the new routing. It got rid of the problems I was having, but my problem is now I can't stream to TikTok Live because its broadcasting software, which is independent of OBS, doesn't have Broadcast Stream Mix as an available audio source. Just wondering if there's an easy fix for this I haven't considered or if I'm going to need to re-route again.
So it’s been a minute since I used TT Studio, but from what I recall its main audio source pulls from the pc system desktop audio. Feel free to hop into discord and we can chat it up! This is something I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while
Great Video dude! How would you add a PS5 (or any console) to this setup?? and fluidly switch out between 'gaming' sources, ie pc, switch, ps5 etc! Cheers!
Love the videos and content as always 100%!! Now how would or what would be the easiest, yet most optimal way to add a console to this type of setup? 🤔
Amazing video, super helpful! One question though! By having the mic connected to the GoXLR, which is connected to the streaming PC. How can I talk in-game on my gaming PC?
Any recommendation for a workaround for the GoXLR output being used by a 3.5 aux cord already for a Steelseries Arctis Pro DAC? I'm not able to send an out from the GoXLR to my streaming PC.
Love this guide. Setup my system very fast. Now I do have a question, I want to separate my game audio from the go xlr mini system audio. I have a 4k elfato capture card was hoping I could send the audio directly through that so the game sounds are only on that line, how would I set this up? For some reason I can't get the audio to go through on the capture card with the goxlr.
What if I don't have a headphone connected to the mini xlr? I use a dac-amp connected via USB to my gaming PC. How can I hear the sounds on the XLR mini from the streaming pc?
I am replacing a dual PC stream setup that I was using with Voicemeeter doing all the mixer work.. However, here, I see that you still have voicemeeter on your PC, even actively using it (12:10).. So, I'm wondering what you're using Voicemeeter for, and what it is needed for after having such a setup at this one? I guess I should keep it around for when I run into whatever I run into that requires you to keep it on your setup? 🤔
No im just lazy and didnt uninstall it lmao i had it set to auto start on windows boot and so it was just running in the background. I tend to not uninstall programs unless they are causing issues
@@P1xelPerfect Ooh, gotcha, haha. Okay, then! Thanks for the reply! I'm going to attempt this next Sunday, as I forgot to buy an optical cable... x_x wish me luck. I always have audio trouble, and for 2 years struggled until I finally got everything running smooth. But wanting a new mic, this was my path.. I'm going to follow your tutorial!
@@P1xelPerfect just realized with this setup, I would need the streaming PC on at all times.. which is not the best option, because I’m not recording or streaming every time I’m on my PC.. is there a couple changes anywhere I can make that would allow things to run off the game PC, instead? So when not streaming, but I still am on my gaming PC, I can still hear and use my headphones and mic and stuff without my streaming PC needing to be on?
Bro you say plug into line in which should be blue then you plug into both blue and pink and show both blue and pick pictures so which did you mean? Line in Blue or Mic in Pink?
I have a Shure SM7B and full GoXLR. I want to keep my streaming PC as my main PC for the GoXLR like your video shows. The only issue I'm having with any of what you have in your video is that the in-game microphone sound on my gaming PC sounds horrible. People say it's muffled/quiet, some say it is robotic at times. How do I go about fixing any of this? My setup is routed exactly as you show in your video as well as the audio set up correctly through Windows on the gaming PC. I am using ground loop isolators. Only my line out to line in on the gaming PC is an issue. Have you heard any issues like this before?
Download audacity on the gaming pc and do a test recording to see how it sounds, yourself. if you are having issues with it, id say remove a ground loop isolator from the mic cable and see if that helps, it could be killing signal quality. feel free to hop in my discord to brainstorm more ideas
So weird I can not get my gaming audio to go into OBS. It’s going into the hockey though cause I hear it through the speaker connected to the goxlr but I’ve been working on this for 4 hours I can’t figure it out
I have a question, all the sound from my computer 1 is coming through the mic aux track on computer 2, is this right? Another question, would there be any way for me to listen to both computers at the same time? I wanted to listen to music with the live people, but to avoid taking copyright it would be necessary to separate the audio tracks on the PC, but I still wouldn't be able to listen to the game and the live music at the same time
Since my gaming PC has no Optical Cable, I did your other method of a line in 3.5mm on my GOXLR Mini to the Gaming PC line out and my sound control panel line in will not let me click default it still says its "unplugged"...
Curious why not connect the goxlr to the gaming pc using the aux cable with a ground loop dohicky and same way to the streaming pc? Thanks for the video
Because the go xlr software has a dedicated audio output specific for streaming softwares like obs. So when you put it on the gaming pc you are essentially losing an entire output (the usb)
@@P1xelPerfect So ,If I'm not planning on streaming , just want to game on 1 monitor but use spotify and discord running on a separate pc (streampc) and connect 2 monitors to the (streampc) and just use the goxlr mini to be able to hear discord, and spotify while im gaming on my (gamingpc) would work fine? In other words I don't need to use a capture card if im not planning on streaming or using OBS? (gamingpc) 1 monitor for gaming running only the game. (streampc) 2 monitors running spotify, chrome, discord. So basically I can just run the goxlr mini to combine the sound right, and skip the whole capture card setup?
Hi bro, i did everything the same as u and i plugged an Ground Loop into the out port of my go xlr mini, going to the in port in my gaming pc, which is connected with optical… and i have those noise its incredible loud and i dont know how to get rid of it… any idea?
Hey i have a Gigabyte z690 ddr 4 elite motherboard and i have only line out a mic and the optical connection in the Color black? So i Need to Connect the 3.5mm aux on the mic and the optical on the optical connection is this Right? Sorry Guys for my english
Hello, I use the a40's and mixamp with the mini goxlr with 2 pc's. I use the aux port on monitor into line in on goxlr, then a 2nd aux cable and go from back of mixamp into front headphone jack of goxlr. Assign the correct input to mixing table and you can now use the mixamp and faders for volume.
reason I don't use GOlxr is because I game with Sennheiser r95 headphones. There is NO option to get them to work with this setup and I'm not giving up insane quality for headphones that use a 3.5mm jack
What are your sennheiser's usually plugged into? I have beyerdynamic dt990 pro and just have them in my goXLR through a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter Am I missing out on audio quality?
I've had nothing but problems with my audio when playing GTA RP. Doesn't matter what I change in my audio they hear an echo when they talk back to me. I use the GoXlr with the Shure SM7B and I don't run a dual setup as of yet. Would anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Great setup, only limitation I see is game chat audio volume can’t be adjusted using the chat fader like discord can. Might need to use voicemeeter vban to create a channel for it?
@@P1xelPerfect warzone does too, but you have to hit f10 or whatever it is on keyboard to mute in-game voice chat. The perfect setup would be what you have here in your video with some way to channel in-game chat into the chat fader on the go xlr alongside the discord audio. Great vid though, i enjoy the content, thank you
So I have a dual pc and the elgato stream deck is on the streaming pc. For some reason when I go to system settings inside the xlr mini, it asks for the streaming pc name. When I type it in it doesn't work. Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone found a fix? Thank you for your help, this community is outstanding
So for me I am connected via usb . I don’t have that cord with the controller , didn’t come with my xlr either nor does my pc have the port for it . I have two aux cables :( struggling so hard to get setup , anyone have any tips
I have a question: if your connecting the the xlr mini to streaming pc and only using that optical cable to gaming. When you play without streaming - would you have to unplug everything and plug it into the gaming pc or do you have to play with both on?
You're the man for responding. Last question and then I'll leave you in peace haha. Can I do all of this with my Focusrite Scarlet solo 4th gen that I currently have or do I have to buy a new interface (one of the ones in this video) I keep accumilating stuff that doens't work or I don't know how to make work @@P1xelPerfect
If I dont have an optical port on my motherboard, can I still follow this guide with a 2nd Aux cable or should I consider getting a PCI-E sound card that has optical in/out support? Any help would be appreciated!
@@P1xelPerfectthank you! I’ll give it a shot and see what happens. Otherwise sound card are cheap enough these days. Thanks for the video, it’s a great help!
Awesome video, thanks for the tutorials, always check them out when you post. I am having a problem regarding this identical setup. Goxlr mini, dual PC, everything running through stream PC, optical audio cable from Goxlr to gaming PC, 3.5 mm running from line out to game PC. This functions flawlessly. The main reason I wanted my Goxlr on my stream PC was to separate audio. I am wondering if there is a way to get the console audio input to be recognized as a standalone audio input in order to record that separate/ as a single track in OBS. I recognize that if I used another 3.5 mm audio cable with ground loop isolator I could settle for using the Goxlr line in. This would negate the need for the optical audio cable. Is there a way to trick the streaming pc/goxlr into recognizing the Console input as a standalone input? Am I missing something?
The only other real benefit I can see for using this setup, goxlr through stream PC is that it works with my stream deck. I also get more functionality out of my stream deck if all audio is on my stream PC, but dang. Why can't I separate that track? killing me lol
I have this exact issue. I am trying to separate my mic from game audio with this tutorial. This tutorial absolutely works.. my issue is that I need to separate mic audio from game audio so that I can have mic as a separate input instead of all sound as one input. I can have voicemod as a separate input but, the stream/record will pick up both the regular mic (my regular voice) mixed into game volume and Voicemod stacked on top. It's driving me nuts trying to find a solution that doesn't require voicemeeter.
@@marcustorres8007 Nope. I gave up on it after messing with software to try and split inputs. I am going to try a different setup. I'm going to upgrade my gaming rig to a 4080 or 4090 build and setup a single pc game/stream unit. With a 40 series build, there really shouldn't be any issues with a single pc setup even for doing everything upto 4k and hdr quality. I am then going to dedicate my current stream rig for ps5/xsx capture. This way for sure I can have all inputs separated with ease. Maybe a usb switcher for the go xlr to switch between both pc's so don't have to keep unplugging and replugging. I had no luck using voicemeeter/vban to get everything to work the way I want it to with separating inputs for dual pc setup. From what I read these software tend not to play nice with the go xlr and this has been my experience..
@@DireWulfHD I’m having the same issue, I can have a clean mic channel, but game capture audio includes the mic audio as well. I came to this video after trying the voicemeeter banana option. I had hoped the go XLR mini solution following this set up might work. So for context I’m dual PC, mainly iRacing, sending video and/or audio to the streaming PC over a local network using the OBS Teleport plug in. On the gaming PC the first instance of OBS is capturing Game Capture Audio, which ought to be just iRacing game audio, but for reasons I can’t fathom my mic (now plugged into goxlr mic in) is sending it to both the gaming PC and the streaming PC, the latter has the main instance of OBS handling streaming. Can’t quite figure what I’ve missed!
this confuses me as i just watched another video and so many things were the opposite, like example the line out from the go xlr here goes into gaming pc but in other video it goes into the streaming pc lol. I actually liked this videos way better but im a speaker user and headphone but idk how to get the speaker sound to play and have the audio show up on obs on other pc as when i enable my speakers i of course disable the digital output he says to enable at the end of video, so close to how i want my setup but ya i wanna use my speakers too
PS5 (or any hdmi console) will either need to be audio captured via the capture card and then played back via OBS audio monitoring (video capture device properties at the bottom, wave out or direct out whichever sounds better to you), OR you can do the optical port from the ps5 to the go xlr. But if you have more than one device that supports the optical port, you will need something like an optical matrix that takes in multiple sources and outputs one, like a switch.
@@P1xelPerfect damn that’s a fast response. Yeah I was thinking the optical cable straight to the streaming pc with the capture card would work best. I’ve been having audio issue the past couple days. I think you just gave the the best option to fix it for good
Crap. You closed Tech talk. I'm having a huge issue and I cant figure it out. Audio and everything routes exactly like you said but because I'm using an digital optical cable I have a severe crackling in my head set. I can not for the life of me figure this out.
@@P1xelPerfect sample rate? meaning like "CD Quality" "Studio Quality" with ###hertz listed? What is the downside of using a 3.5mm for a line from your go xlr to your Gaming PC?
How hard would it be to setup wireless headphones ? I did it once before on my last setup but I was using a single pc. I’m planning on going the dual pc route but would like to stay wireless with the headphones
They would need to have a wireless transmitter like the arctis pro wireless or astros with the mixamp. Just a usb dongle wont work as far as i know currently.
Only if voice mod is going out from the go xlr software. Its kind of an order of operations thing, if your mic is going GoXLR>VoiceMod>stream/game pc then no, bc voicemod with be after the output of the xlrs routing. But if its VoiceMod>GoXLR>Stream/Game pc then yes, bc all the voice effects will happen before the go xlr routes the output of the mic.

When testing mic on the discord feature I get crazy static feedback in my own audio when having mic set to chat mic and output set to chat?
Since my gaming PC has no Optical Cable, I did your other method of a line in 3.5mm on my GOXLR Mini to the Gaming PC line out and my sound control panel line in will not let me click default it still says its "unplugged"...
You may want to see if there is an audio driver update for your mother board!
Curious why not connect the goxlr to the gaming pc using the aux cable with a ground loop dohicky and same way to the streaming pc? Thanks for the video
Because the go xlr software has a dedicated audio output specific for streaming softwares like obs. So when you put it on the gaming pc you are essentially losing an entire output (the usb)
@@P1xelPerfect So ,If I'm not planning on streaming , just want to game on 1 monitor but use spotify and discord running on a separate pc (streampc) and connect 2 monitors to the (streampc) and just use the goxlr mini to be able to hear discord, and spotify while im gaming on my (gamingpc) would work fine?
In other words I don't need to use a capture card if im not planning on streaming or using OBS?
(gamingpc) 1 monitor for gaming running only the game.
(streampc) 2 monitors running spotify, chrome, discord.
So basically I can just run the goxlr mini to combine the sound right, and skip the whole capture card setup?
How do you setup the audio for obs?
Hi bro, i did everything the same as u and i plugged an Ground Loop into the out port of my go xlr mini, going to the in port in my gaming pc, which is connected with optical… and i have those noise its incredible loud and i dont know how to get rid of it… any idea?
my gaming pc doesn't have an optical on the mobo but the mobo is new gen for ryzen 9 7900x cpu
Question my mixer just says line in and live 1 it is one I bought from temu
Hey i have a Gigabyte z690 ddr 4 elite motherboard and i have only line out a mic and the optical connection in the Color black?
So i Need to Connect the 3.5mm aux on the mic and the optical on the optical connection is this Right?
Sorry Guys for my english
I have a mixer tuner astro a40 I do not know what to plug in where!! Wish you went over that haha.
Hello, I use the a40's and mixamp with the mini goxlr with 2 pc's. I use the aux port on monitor into line in on goxlr, then a 2nd aux cable and go from back of mixamp into front headphone jack of goxlr. Assign the correct input to mixing table and you can now use the mixamp and faders for volume.
My mini didn't come with an optical cable
reason I don't use GOlxr is because I game with Sennheiser r95 headphones. There is NO option to get them to work with this setup and I'm not giving up insane quality for headphones that use a 3.5mm jack
What are your sennheiser's usually plugged into? I have beyerdynamic dt990 pro and just have them in my goXLR through a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter
Am I missing out on audio quality?
I've had nothing but problems with my audio when playing GTA RP. Doesn't matter what I change in my audio they hear an echo when they talk back to me. I use the GoXlr with the Shure SM7B and I don't run a dual setup as of yet. Would anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Does this set up allow you to use one microphone for both PCs?
Hi, I got everything set up, but my game is not able to hear my mic, stream is ok though.
on obs i dont see anything golxr how did you get to this
i cant get sound from optical audio cable :( i need use voicemeeter -.-
My audio isn’t really that loud on obs and my mic is quiet on my gaming so I can’t talk in game, did I do something wrong??
Can I still follow this tutorial if I dont have a Line in port? I only have optical, 1/8in out, and a mic-in port on my mobo. z790 aorus elite ax
as long as the gaming pc mobo has the optical port then yes, thats how i ran the audio for this set up
Can you do digital optic cable to usb if your pc doesn’t have a digital cable port?
No, do a secondary aux cable
@@P1xelPerfect go it . Thanks!
Great setup, only limitation I see is game chat audio volume can’t be adjusted using the chat fader like discord can. Might need to use voicemeeter vban to create a channel for it?
Are you specifically referring to game chat from the gaming pc? IE talking in a cod lobby etc 🤔
@@P1xelPerfect precisely, need to mute those guys when I hit gulag :) can turn down the discord guys using the slider.
Yeah so most games now typically offer some sort of in game volume control for game chat so thats why i wasnt too worried about it haha
@@P1xelPerfect warzone does too, but you have to hit f10 or whatever it is on keyboard to mute in-game voice chat. The perfect setup would be what you have here in your video with some way to channel in-game chat into the chat fader on the go xlr alongside the discord audio. Great vid though, i enjoy the content, thank you
@@P1xelPerfect for instance mute them in the game right in the click of a button with the gaming controller (scud, elite, whatever
So I have a dual pc and the elgato stream deck is on the streaming pc. For some reason when I go to system settings inside the xlr mini, it asks for the streaming pc name.
When I type it in it doesn't work. Has anyone else had this issue?
Has anyone found a fix?
Thank you for your help, this community is outstanding
So for me I am connected via usb . I don’t have that cord with the controller , didn’t come with my xlr either nor does my pc have the port for it . I have two aux cables
:( struggling so hard to get setup , anyone have any tips
Come on in the discord in #techtalk, we’ll get ya taken care of 🤝🏻
I have a question: if your connecting the the xlr mini to streaming pc and only using that optical cable to gaming. When you play without streaming - would you have to unplug everything and plug it into the gaming pc or do you have to play with both on?
You will have to have both on.
You're the man for responding. Last question and then I'll leave you in peace haha. Can I do all of this with my Focusrite Scarlet solo 4th gen that I currently have or do I have to buy a new interface (one of the ones in this video) I keep accumilating stuff that doens't work or I don't know how to make work
@@P1xelPerfect
What if you have a USB headset, or a USB mic, or Both?
I still cannot get mine to work. I will pay somebody good money to FaceTime me and walk me through to troubleshoot.
If I dont have an optical port on my motherboard, can I still follow this guide with a 2nd Aux cable or should I consider getting a PCI-E sound card that has optical in/out support? Any help would be appreciated!
2nd aux can work but you may get feedback noise from the ground of the cable. A ground loop isolator MAY fix this, i can’t guarantee it though.
@@P1xelPerfectthank you! I’ll give it a shot and see what happens. Otherwise sound card are cheap enough these days. Thanks for the video, it’s a great help!
Id have eveything set up, by for some reason my game pc doesn't have an optical port, is there any work around for this?
A secondary aux cable. Line out of the gaming pc to line in of the go xlr
@@P1xelPerfect That's brilliant thank you! I'll give this a go tomorrow, hopefully I can get it all working then! Thanks again
I followed everything perfectly and I still can’t hear any audio from my gaming pc on my streaming pc… Someone please help lol
Awesome video, thanks for the tutorials, always check them out when you post. I am having a problem regarding this identical setup. Goxlr mini, dual PC, everything running through stream PC, optical audio cable from Goxlr to gaming PC, 3.5 mm running from line out to game PC. This functions flawlessly. The main reason I wanted my Goxlr on my stream PC was to separate audio. I am wondering if there is a way to get the console audio input to be recognized as a standalone audio input in order to record that separate/ as a single track in OBS. I recognize that if I used another 3.5 mm audio cable with ground loop isolator I could settle for using the Goxlr line in. This would negate the need for the optical audio cable. Is there a way to trick the streaming pc/goxlr into recognizing the Console input as a standalone input? Am I missing something?
The only other real benefit I can see for using this setup, goxlr through stream PC is that it works with my stream deck. I also get more functionality out of my stream deck if all audio is on my stream PC, but dang. Why can't I separate that track? killing me lol
I have this exact issue. I am trying to separate my mic from game audio with this tutorial.
This tutorial absolutely works.. my issue is that I need to separate mic audio from game audio so that I can have mic as a separate input instead of all sound as one input. I can have voicemod as a separate input but, the stream/record will pick up both the regular mic (my regular voice) mixed into game volume and Voicemod stacked on top.
It's driving me nuts trying to find a solution that doesn't require voicemeeter.
@@DireWulfHD did you figure it out?
@@marcustorres8007 Nope. I gave up on it after messing with software to try and split inputs. I am going to try a different setup.
I'm going to upgrade my gaming rig to a 4080 or 4090 build and setup a single pc game/stream unit. With a 40 series build, there really shouldn't be any issues with a single pc setup even for doing everything upto 4k and hdr quality.
I am then going to dedicate my current stream rig for ps5/xsx capture.
This way for sure I can have all inputs separated with ease.
Maybe a usb switcher for the go xlr to switch between both pc's so don't have to keep unplugging and replugging.
I had no luck using voicemeeter/vban to get everything to work the way I want it to with separating inputs for dual pc setup. From what I read these software tend not to play nice with the go xlr and this has been my experience..
@@DireWulfHD I’m having the same issue, I can have a clean mic channel, but game capture audio includes the mic audio as well. I came to this video after trying the voicemeeter banana option. I had hoped the go XLR mini solution following this set up might work. So for context I’m dual PC, mainly iRacing, sending video and/or audio to the streaming PC over a local network using the OBS Teleport plug in.
On the gaming PC the first instance of OBS is capturing Game Capture Audio, which ought to be just iRacing game audio, but for reasons I can’t fathom my mic (now plugged into goxlr mic in) is sending it to both the gaming PC and the streaming PC, the latter has the main instance of OBS handling streaming.
Can’t quite figure what I’ve missed!
i am literally doing every step and it does not work
this confuses me as i just watched another video and so many things were the opposite, like example the line out from the go xlr here goes into gaming pc but in other video it goes into the streaming pc lol. I actually liked this videos way better but im a speaker user and headphone but idk how to get the speaker sound to play and have the audio show up on obs on other pc as when i enable my speakers i of course disable the digital output he says to enable at the end of video, so close to how i want my setup but ya i wanna use my speakers too
I use speakers as well, and they plug into the line out port! Just make sure your mic is not checked so it doesn’t feedback!
Question does this work with normal goxlr
I’m sure you won’t see This but what’s different if you are using a PS5?
If you have a video on that just take me
PS5 (or any hdmi console) will either need to be audio captured via the capture card and then played back via OBS audio monitoring (video capture device properties at the bottom, wave out or direct out whichever sounds better to you), OR you can do the optical port from the ps5 to the go xlr. But if you have more than one device that supports the optical port, you will need something like an optical matrix that takes in multiple sources and outputs one, like a switch.
@@P1xelPerfect damn that’s a fast response. Yeah I was thinking the optical cable straight to the streaming pc with the capture card would work best. I’ve been having audio issue the past couple days. I think you just gave the the best option to fix it for good
Crap. You closed Tech talk. I'm having a huge issue and I cant figure it out. Audio and everything routes exactly like you said but because I'm using an digital optical cable I have a severe crackling in my head set. I can not for the life of me figure this out.
Depending it could be a bad cable, bad port, or the sample rate is wrong.
@@P1xelPerfect sample rate? meaning like "CD Quality" "Studio Quality" with ###hertz listed? What is the downside of using a 3.5mm for a line from your go xlr to your Gaming PC?
i could need some help.. it doesnt work >,
What if my mic is a USB mic? I have a HyperX Quadcast.
How hard would it be to setup wireless headphones ? I did it once before on my last setup but I was using a single pc. I’m planning on going the dual pc route but would like to stay wireless with the headphones
They would need to have a wireless transmitter like the arctis pro wireless or astros with the mixamp. Just a usb dongle wont work as far as i know currently.
my gaming pc doesn't have a optical plug in but my streaming pc does
I am so lost I set it up like this I lose all audio lol. Also I have logitech pro x wireless headset
Would usung this setup, enable the ability to send voicemod effects to both pcs at once?
Only if voice mod is going out from the go xlr software. Its kind of an order of operations thing, if your mic is going GoXLR>VoiceMod>stream/game pc then no, bc voicemod with be after the output of the xlrs routing. But if its VoiceMod>GoXLR>Stream/Game pc then yes, bc all the voice effects will happen before the go xlr routes the output of the mic.
