Ok. I tried many different ways on how to get my headset to work. I bought the same embedder you have in this video, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to work. I tried setting it up using the diagram you showed, but I couldn’t get any sound to come through. Was really hoping you can, in detail explain how to connect to the go xlr, and to the my pc? I’m using the same mic that your are and also using a go xlr. Really hoping you can help. Thank you.
OK, I need help setting this to my PlayStation five it keeps switching back-and-forth to different audio settings. Can you show me how to plug it into my PS five please
With the audio embedder would I still be able to use all three devices (Ps5, Series X and PC) or would I have to sacrifice one of my consoles to implement the embedder? My goal is to be able to stream from all devices and switch between them seamlessly which is why I'm thinking of purchasing this headset.
I use all three devices, but I have my audio going through my PC. I have a few extra things to make this possible/easy. I have both consoles going into a HDMI Switcher (something like this: www.amazon.co.uk/Switch-Splitter-Switcher-Supports-Blu-ray-Black/dp/B0C6GSK4RR/&tag=icecreamuploa-21), and then send the feed from the console I'm currently playing on from that Switcher into my capture device in my PC. It comes with a little remote, so I can Switch from PS5 to Series X without leaving my seat. The audio from my PC (including the console audio from my capture deivce) is then sent into my audio embedder through the 3.5mm cable going out from my GoXLR. So, I always have my PC audio, at all times - and also have audio from my console of choice mixed in too.
So just so I’m clear, you only have one hdmi going into your a50 base station and it’s the one coming from the embedder? In my case I have an external capture card (elgato hd60x) and I was hoping to use the base station itself as my switcher for pc, Xbox, and ps5. Do you think that is possible somehow?
The audio on the old A50s was already great - so it’s always going to be hard to improve on that, although I do feel it packs more punch - and I notice it on the small things (like footsteps in PUBG). But, its value is in what it offers holistically… the audio is great but its that PLUS the superior mic quality, the multi-device compatibility/mixer functions, the mag-click charging, the app connectivity etc. It’s naturally gonna be more impressive if you’re not coming from an already high bar like the A50. (Although, I moved up from an A50 and love it.)
We were told that the mic is irremovable to increase mic quality (components fixed in place etc)… didn’t clarify if that’s accurate or just opinion or not - but it makes sense; especially when you hear how good the A50 X is. That said - I do understand the desire to remove it. The A40 definitely looks sexiest when it has the clean, mic-free profile.
hello, i saw many videos of this headset and i said this must be the greatest and i was about to buy it until i saw many comments said that this headset is so bad for ps5 and cant connect to LG OLED and i wanted it for my ps5 and LG OLED. i am cunfused. could you tell me about that i mean why there is a lot of complaints of ps5 users?
I use it with my PS5 and it’s flawless. I use it for work and streaming - so have it on for like 10hrs a day. What issues are you having people having? I can’t comment about LG OLEDs as I don’t have one… are people trying to use the Bluetooth on it? I don’t see why that won’t work, it pairs with my phone easily enough (although I haven’t used it with a TV so can’t say for certain). Not problems for me though. ☺️
@@IceCreamUploads "So I got the A50 X and honestly they just seem like they are made just for Xbox, haven’t tried them on my PC yet but they don’t seem to be flawlessly working for my PS5. First off the start up video for ps5, if you it set it up that way then voice/game chat mix is useless so the two side buttons on the headset become useless… No Dolby atmos or Dolby works. Enable 3D audio for it to sound even worse lol. I wish I knew all this before paying this much for something that isn’t even really made for my main console (PS5). If you own a ps5, I’d say look elsewhere or stick with the Gen 4’s. It’s very frustrating and maybe it’s Sonys fault but this is kinda unacceptable and should have just been an Xbox/pc headset at this point. This is unacceptable." this is one of the proplems in redet. But I think the headset were not set up in the right way so thats why they faced some problems. Anyway, thanks for your response. I am now reassured and will buy it
Yeah, none of that has applied to me in my setup. Strange! Could be installation errors, like you say. If you do pick up the A50 X, make sure you use our link (logi.gg/icecream), or enter code ICECREAM at checkout - that could save you a little extra on your purchase. 🙌
Putting it simply, you're intended to use 1 device on 1 screen at a time. But I have mine running through a PC with 4 screens attached so I can use my PC and console at the same time. Technically, you can use 2 devices at the same time, as long as one is connected by HDMI and the other is connected by Bluetooth... so, if you had a PlayStation connected by HDMI and a Switch (or Xbox etc) connected by Bluetooth you could in theory do that over 2 screens. Hopefully that makes sense! :D
I sort of get what you mean. I have a PlayStation and a computer but two different monitors. I wouldn’t use them at the same time. I would switch back and forth. Just curious if that is possible. @@IceCreamUploads
If you run it through the PC then yeah - that's what I do... I can use my PC for anything (games, web etc) but then also use my console too. I'm running my console through my PC with a capture card though, so that's worth bearing in mind.@@efficcial
Audio is subjective - so I’d never say you’re wrong - but IMO I’d definitely place it above my Gen 4 A50 headset… not by much but enough. Have you tried using the G Hub app to tinker with your audio settings? It could just be that you’re not using an audio profile that best suits what you need from it.
@@jonathanskarie8536 They’re regularly restocked - so it’s worth re-trying. Also, feel free to use code “ICECREAM” - or our link logi.gg/icecream - and you might save a little when you do manage to grab one. If you’d like I can reach out to try grab you some sort of ETA for restock?

I'm just using the in-built "Default" preset - it's been doing the job for me, so I didn't need to mix it up. The "Gaming" profile was good too tbf, but I "Default" is well rounded so I've been happily using that.
