      Hello, this video is not in my native language, so it is a bit complicated for me, can you make my life easier?
      I use NDI to send images to the stream PC .. everything works fine, my problem is that the audio from the GAME is not sent to the stream PC.
      With voice meeter I can: send my microphone audio to the stream PC, and receive alerts from the stream PC to the gaming PC. I just couldn't send the game's audio to the stream PC.
      You said you did everything with NDI, could you tell me which parts of this lovely gentleman's video I need to check out to see this work for me? which parts the NDI is cited.

    Hey FS - Great Job with this video, super appreciative for the effort here in putting this together. The only thing that I keep getting hung up on when windows changes my settings, is that there is not a segment on the final output toggles for the streaming PC (A1, etc), the way you show it on the gaming PC. Feels like I always have to come back to that and figure where something got changed or clicked incorrectly somehow.

    hi ! your video helped me out a lot when figuring out banana (obviously, since this is potato, i had to do some adjustments to banana). i’m in the process of moving from banana to potato to hopefully section out the audio a bit better - are the other cable outputs a necessity for potato since it’s a bigger interface, or can you suffice with just one cable output and use the VAIO/VAIO3 as soon? will it hinder the performance if i just use, for instance, VAIO3 for spotify and the one free cable output for discord?

    • @FrugalStreamer

      It just depends on how many apps you want to connect to Voicemeeter beyond what can use with the VAIOs.

    This is GREAT. One question before I start is that I use a GoXLR on my Gaming PC but am now transitioning to a 2 PC setup. Is there a way to incorporate that into this as I love the hardware mixer. I want to be able to send the separate audio channels it creates out to the streaming/recording PC, so I can control things on a hardware level, but also so that I can record all the tracks separately and then edit in post if needed. I assume this is possible but my brain melts at audio.

    • @FrugalStreamer
      @FrugalStreamer  2 роки тому

      You know the GoXLR is designed for a 2 PC setup.

    • @JeepoUK
      @JeepoUK 2 роки тому

      @@FrugalStreamer thanks for your reply I have found your Channel a great help over the last month's. GoXLR is designed for that, but the way it works is I use a 3.5mm out to the streaming PC which means I lose the separate audio channels. I want to be able to record on my stream PC and retain the separate audio tracks so I can remove discord, in game or whatever in post.
      If I move the GoXLR to the stream PC then I need to have a new way of using Discord as it will no longer be on my game PC. Some recommend foot pedals. It's a bit of a weird request I think I understand.
      So I was trying to find a way to retain the GoXLR and microphone on my gaming rig but still have the separate audio channels sent to the streaming rig for recording.

    Love your videos on Voicemeeter - I think I have used them all at some point or other and learnt a lot.
    One thing I am a little confused by in this video is that you set all of your inputs such as Discord, Spotify etc up on the Game PC - Isn't the idea of a dual streaming setup mostly to have all things working on the stream PC so that the Game PC only has to run the game? That way all Game PC resources can be used solely on the game to get its best performance and let the Stream PC take the load of everything else? Interested to hear why this setup was a little different?
    Happy New Year too BTW.

    • @FrugalStreamer
      @FrugalStreamer  3 роки тому +1

      It's personal preference. There's no right or wrong configuration. I think this is the simplest way if you have your mic on the game PC for in game comms (which Battlefield V hates the VAIO output, which is why I have things set up the way they are for me).

I also have the RTX Broadcast because I have a 2080 ti. I have a blue yeti microphone as well as the internal capture card. My problem is that I can not get the RTX to filter out either of my mics after I added the wave link software. Would you be able to recommend what I can do to try to get it to work. The software was working before I added the wavelink software and a little bit after. However, after the change to Nvidia RTX to be included into the Broadcast, it stopped working.

    Hi Frugal Streamer
    Love the guide - I do though have a problem with getting the Alerts to play or register in Voicemeeter when choosing the free Virtual Cable to setup Alerts from Streamlabs OBS :/ I've done everthing the same as you in the guide. But when I click to test the Alerts in Streamlabs it's not showing in Voicemeeter in channel 5 :/ Can you maybe help me troubleshoot, so I can be able to send my alerts back to my Gaming PC and be able to hear it in my headset while playing?
    Thank you :D

    if you are streaming in 72060, is there a better way to configure the resolution on your capture card? Right now I have the resolution of my 3rd monitor (capture card) as 1280x720 and then in obs under output on the stream pc im using canvas and scaled res as 1280x720.

      That's the beauty of Voicmeeter. This is just one example. You can have everything on the stream PC and just send mic and game audio over from the game PC. Here's what I'd recommend. Use the basic Voicemeeter on the game PC and set up Potato on the stream PC. You can then set up your mic and game audio easily and send that over VBAN to the stream PC, or if you're using a capture card, send the audio over the HDMI.
