REVISED 2020 How to Enable Game Chat for Xbox with the Elgato Chat Link Cable

  • *REVISED 2020*
    NOTE: to record my own voice I use an external mic that is plugged into my PC (I have a Blue Yeti)
    I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!! This video will show you how to set up your audio recordings so you can hear team players and still chat at the same time WITHOUT BEING IN A XBOX PARTY. My other video similar to this I could only hear the other players I couldn't chat back. The 3 Ring Aux Cable is KEY!
    Of course if you are streaming to viewers you will still need a USB or other audio mic to your PC so you chat with them. If you have any questions please comment below or message me on Xbox! Good luck and happy gaming!

    If you don't care about wires, you can plug your controller into your headset with the aux cord and then plug your controller into your xbox one with the micro usb cable and it should work perfectly fine without the settings in this video.

      It may work if you can link your headset to both xbox and stream software. There might be an issue when you need to mute if you just want to talk to your chat without game party being able to hear you. I'm not 100% sure though. I use a fairly cheap usb mic for stream and headset for game.

    PS5 needs nothing extra for game chat audio on your stream. No extra cables, no pc/laptop and no capture card needed. PS5 is literally content creator friendly. Also you can do light video editing for your recorded video content to upload to UA-cam all done directly from the console itself.

    Thank you so much I didn't think to turn up the audio gain in game capture hd and then I just so happen to turn down mic monitoring so then I screwed myself again so this helped me figure out those problems lol. The only issue I'm having now is that it records my voice too through the mic monitoring which is kind of annoying but luckily when I listened to my test run my voice was much lower than all the other audio so hopefully it ends up not being a huge deal. Anyway, thanks again!

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  3 роки тому +1

      I know of you turn down mic monitoring on the xbox audio settings you should get audio to the stream from your headset. Usually if people are getting an echo its due to mic monitoring. Sometimes if your getting both mics being recorded it can also be in the actual game settings too. I'm on PC now so no more Xbox audio issues for me but I can still try and help :)

      I also found this that explains it: Good Luck!
      1) Plug the male 4-pole 3.5mm jack of the Elgato Gaming Chat Link cable into your Xbox controller
      2) Plug your compatible headset into the female 4-pole 3.5mm port of the Elgato Gaming Chat Link.

    Since I can't find an answer to my question: with this set up, are you still able to hear other audio input in your OBS?

      as far as i know, youll have to be streaming from PC and plug the 2nd mic into the pc. not sure if it works if you stream directly from xbox.

    I don’t have a gaming headset, I use the Sony wh 1000x m3 along with a aux cord that has a mic on it. The cord had three rings where the cord plugs into the controller but where it plugs into the headset it only has two. Will this still work?

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  4 роки тому

      I don't think it will work. Also far as I know it needs 3 so it picks up left side right side and the mic so you can still chat.

    Quick question, if we follow these instructions will we be able to record our party chat along with the ww II game chat together? Also, to record your own voice do we need to get a usb speaker or is that not required?

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  4 роки тому +1

      If you're in an xbox party you'll have to switch to game chat to hear other players in the game. Ideally you'll want to use an external mic to record your voice however in the game the other players will be able to hear your voice clearly through your headset, your voice just won't come through clear or at all in the recording when you're outside of a closed party chat. Hope this helps!

      Jimmy Kn1ves update: So I did what you did, I got an aux cord with 3 rings on each end, but when I plugged that into my px5 turtle beach it started making a really loud screeching sound. I took a 2.5 to 3.5 mm aux cord with one end having 2 rings on one end and 3 rings on the other end. I used only that and I am able to hear myself, the party chat, and everyone can hear me. I am able to do all of this without an external microphone and without an aux cord with 3 rings on each side. Why do we need an external microphone for gameplay to be recorded?

    • @JimmyKn1ves

      If you're in an actual xbox party it will pick up the party voices if set up properly. I think there are lots of videos on that out there. But if you're not in an xbox party it will not pick up other players voices.

    Nice video bro 👍🏼 one quick question. I don’t know if you mentioned this and I just missed it but if I just want to record the voice Audio not to stream just to capture gaming content and Game chat/ party chat.
    Do I still need an external mic ?
    I currently have the Arctis 9x I was hoping that would work just fine to record Party/game chat and my own voice of course.
    I do have the HD60S. I’m not using OBS I’m using the capture card software. ( Xbox one )
    Thanks dude 👍🏼

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  4 роки тому

      That should work bit your voice may be super quiet...try turning up mic monitoring i. Xbox Audion settings to pick up your voice better however this may cut out game chat a bit. Play around w the settings though it may work...external mic is always best for your voice

      No, when the aux is plugged in you can't use the controls however when the aux is plugged in a new audio section pops up in xbox settings...click xbox button>scroll far right>scroll down to audio then you can adjust it there. Let me know if you have any issues w that. Cheers!

    Is it possible to record game chat and gameplay audio if you’re on PC and your friends are on PS4? Like they’re games that allow crossplay feature like COD Warzone and/or Fortnite. I was trying to see how do I record game chat (friends and my voice) and the gameplay audio itself being on a different platforms and not using discord. I’m on PC and they’re on Console.

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  3 роки тому

      Hey yes I am actually now playing on PC and can record my voice, my friends voices, enemy players and the actual game. Your friends voices should come through no problem with your being on PC but for your voice you may need an external mic which is what I use. I don't use discord and everything comes through perfectly. Hopefully this answered your question, if not let me know. DM me in Discord is easiest to reach me. discord.gg/DKfnWDdd

  • @Buttersplaysgames
    @Buttersplaysgames 4 роки тому

    Thanks man, I’m starting a trolling channel called Dumbster Juice and for the longest time I could never get my voice on the recording. Do you have any experience with recording your own game audio through a standalone mic (like a small diaphragm Shure or large diaphragm Rose NT1A) and using headphones to hear? Does that make sense?

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  4 роки тому +1

      Yes I use a Blue Yeti usb mic to record my own voice then I use my headset to hear and chat with other players.

    • @Buttersplaysgames
      @Buttersplaysgames 4 роки тому

      Jimmy Kn1ves would you mind doing a detailed set up tutorial for that? I’m assuming that’s how content creators manage that crystal clear audio of themselves while maintaining the normal game chat audio sound? I’d greatly appreciate it man, this video was really helpful, you go into more detail than the others and I’d love to just see a tutorial run down of that style set up and how to align the audio from the mic with game and all that good stuff

    • @JimmyKn1ves
      @JimmyKn1ves  4 роки тому

      So the setup is exactly the same as my video..you're hearing my voice through a usb mic that is plugged into my pc. I use OBS studios software, elgato capture card, elgato chat link cable and my xbox to get my voice, game chat and the actual game. Hop into my Discord and I can show you screen shots.
