@8:22 he talks about game chat. This is where you can talk in a party chat and still hear the game chat and talk to them. Really good video for people with wireless headsets with a base with an aux port
@@revnlive3877 Well, whatever you decide to do - Good luck and keep going!!!! I personally think you did a great job explaining things and gave great setup help! Thank you :)
I’m having a hard time getting my console audio in channel four so I can change the audio levels if needed. I’m using a laptop for streaming, a series x and wired headphones. Got it all working except that bit. Thanks for good info in video.
@@revnlive3877 thank you for replying. Yes I do, I actually figured it out. The adapter needed to be after the capture card in the chain of setup. I had it before so it wasn’t working. Hoping this helps me raise more money for the non kill cat sanctuary we support. Appreciate the willingness to help sir.
Solid video, Sir. Been wanting to get a GoXLR and saw they just came in stock, which is how I stumbled across your video. The lack of optical port in next gen consoles sucks but this is similar to what I’ve been using for my PS4/PS5 to ensure game chat can be heard in stream. Long story short, thanks!
Do you still get mic monitoring with Astros on your boom mic? I know you plug in the mix amp but I haven’t been able to find this answer if you can still hear yourself talk
yes. i have a goXLR input for the boom mic and in the routing tree i turn on mic monitoring. that sound goes into my default audio output....which is the astro headset
When you connect your Astro audio adapter to the goxlr are you then able to put your Xbox on the console slider in the goxlr mixer? I have an elgato mk 4k60 pro game capture that’s internally connected to my PC, in OBS the game capture sends the audio to my goxlr but it’s on the system slider, I cannot separate it on another slider such as console or game. I notice when I streamed that way the game audio would cut off on stream sometimes, if I connect my Astro audio adapter to my goxlr will that allow me to put my game audio on the console slider in the goxlr mixer? I have Astro A40’s with the mixamp and everything except the chat splitter, my thing is I also use a snowball blue yeti as my console mic and the Astro headset just for audio so I don’t want my Shure mic to be used as my game mic for the ps5.
Yea that sounds like a intricate setup. I’m not too good on configuring that type of stuff. Too many variables. I can only say copy what I have in the video
If you wanted to mute yourself so the game chat doesn’t hear you, you would mute the line out, or just unplug the 3.5mm cord from your controller. It’s not a perfect solution, but it works
What audio exactly are you getting from putting the headset end of the splitter into the goxlr line in? Is it your teammates voice only or does it also bring the game sound?
Can you use this device in conjunction with a better DSP? How can I leverage this device because of my need for the in-game/party chat but use the preamps of my appollo Quad for the boom mic?
My Friends say my mic in-game on Call of duty has very bad feedback/buzzing. Anyone know how i can fix this. I have the Audio Out from my GoXLR into the mic splitter connect to my controller.
Everything is really well explained. A lot of help with the xbox companion.. thank you. But why would it be headphones go to line in and mic/controller to line out on the chat splitter? Wouldn't it be the other way around? Is there a wireless option?
Hmmm I’m not sure about the why it’s not the other way around. I just know it worked lol. Wireless option…not that I’m aware of to be able to capture the actual in game chat
I am about to begin streaming and have a question. Is it better to chat with the party on PS5 via the same mic you are streaming to UA-cam or Twitch with and pull the game and stream audio from the GOXLR like you did? Some I watch separate the chat and game audio and the stream mic.
I don’t think there is a real “better” way to do it. The hardest part is getting it working correctly. If you have a way to do it, and it’s not cumbersome to manage the audio with muting or unmuting and such…roll with it
@@oneharry_og I haven’t tried that setup before. I’d assume you’d have the 3.5mm cable from the stream out port of the mixamp to the headset input on the goXLR
Nooo it didn't work for me... I got some Steelcase series headphones Got my goxlr mini connected to my pc. Connected my splitter to my Xbox series X controller. I have my audio splitter jack 3.55 going to line out, and the headphones going to line in. I have my Steelcase headphones going to the headphone and audio jack on the mini...unfortunately its not working
i'm not quite following what you are saying...also...you may have to turn off your xbox and turn it back on. if you plug in all the stuff after your xbox is on, sometime it won't configure properly
I don’t think a laptop should matter. Make sure you default audio output on your PC is the correct fader/channel on your goXLR. Other that, without seeing your setup, hard to say
Tried your setup an big W finally have game chat with the goxlr an console setup, but one issue my audio for me is doubled an robotic, an my friends audio is louder, an robotic as well, have you had this issue an if so how do you fix it? Appreciate any help. 👍
Hmmm I can’t say that I have. You may have to adjust your levels (maybe too high). If you are hearing doubled audio, you may have the audio being sourced twice in your obs or stream labs. I know I had the elgato coming through as well as the goXLR so I had to mute the Elgato source in my stream labs (if that makes sense)
@@revnlive3877 Yeah I gotchya ok so my screen capture of the gameplay has audio coming out with it from the elgato, an my goxlr has its own separate audio of it captured as well then, where do I go to eliminate the audio capture from the elgato then? An if that's the case that could be my double audio issue 🤔
@@Mustach92. I would almost guarantee it. I use stream labs. In the bottom right of stream labs is the mixer boxer that lists all your audio inbound and outbound sources. I just scrolled through them until I saw “Elgato” and just clicked mute. Not saying that will be your case, but I’d bet it’s something similar. Just check your mixer or source list in your stream software. Load up a game with audio and see what sources move when you hear music. It should only be one source moving
@@Mustach92. Ever get it fixed? I run my xbox to my elgato HD60s as well. Then that into my PC I stream on. Did you have to still buy the audio extractor and other cable?
I’ve got everything set up. It captures ps5 audio, their voice, my sure sm7b mic and pc audio all picks up. But my mic for my ps5 doesn’t pick up. It’s a headset mic that plugs directly into controller. Any help? I guess I should say that my mic only works through the controller. And it sounds terrible for other people
Would you also say that the audio extractor is necessary? Cuz for my issue, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case at all. All audio pics up for me except my Logitech mic that plugs into controller usually.
What are you using the headset mic for? The shure XLR mic can be used for both party and in-game. The audio extractor is 100% necessary or else the ps5 audio won’t be captured. Only thing I can think of would be plug the headset mic into the “mic” input of the goXLR if it’s 3.5mm.
Hey, very good info. I got 3 questions though just wondering would this be 4k 120fps? If not could I get a different audio extractor one that could do 4k 120. Second question is do you know how I would do this a PS5, because I don’t think there is something like Xbox consol companion, I may be wrong. 3rd question so I could technically join a party chat call on my Xbox/PlayStation and it should work, because it’s basically the same as if I was in a game chat right? Anyways amazing video good job.
This setup will not be 120...but it can be 4k. Not sure if there is a newer extractor that won't throttle the FPS down to 60. I'm not sure either about the Playstation version of a party chat...you may have to use discord or something. Set up just like the xbox console companion. If you join a party chat that is actually going through the console...you would have to go to your console audio settings and set party output to speakers/TV. Doing this would negate any game chat that is not coming from the party
I believe the optical cable goes to the goXLR since that’s the only way the console sound can be captured by the software. If it went to the base station allllll that sound would be pushed through your PC sound output I think. Any optical cable should go from console to XLR or extracted out with that adapter like in the video if your console doesn’t have the optical port
@@revnlive3877 do u know if u ran opt cable from console to Basestation then run a second optical cable from Basestation to xlr would this work too? Cause Basestation does have a opt in and out port, well the gen 4 Basestation does
@@Varillah Hmmmm....if the basestation is wireless...then you won't need the optical cable from console to the basestation. I believe those optical in/out on a basestation would be for a TV, surround sound, watching TV experience. I don't believe any basestation receives a sound signal via optical port. It's either wireless or USB for the most part
@@revnlive3877 thanks for the replies, ive been trying to set up a PS5 with dual PC streaming and the audio routing with A50s is bit of struggle. Cause I want to hear PS5 and PC system sounds at the same time, as well as send PS5 audio chat to stream, as well as use one XLR mic for PS5 and Game PC. A bit technical but should be possible
How does this work exactly with a40s and a mix amp? Would run headphone jack from the aux on the mix amp to the goxlr and plug the a40s into the headphone out jack on the mix amp?
I believe the only thing that would change is you would run a 3.5mm jack from the "stream out" port on the back of the mixamp to the headphone jack of the goXLR. The rest would stay the same...
So does the stream hear you chatting in game with randoms or maybe crossgen people who you can’t invite to Xbox party chat? I have the elgato hd60s but my line out from my focusrite Scarlett xlr preamp has terrible ground loop audio hissing. So when I use the chat link cable to the elgato it picks it up because I want to use my xlr mic so I’m thinking I might get the goxlr mini and a hdmi audio splitter to fix all this? Or would you suggest a different way.... bottom line is I want to be able to use my xlr mic and have in game chat captured me and my team mates that aren’t in Xbox party chat :) thanks
Yea man, I'll try and help as best as I can. I'm not a hugeee audio guy in the aspect of being able to trouble shoot on the fly. I REALLY know how I do it, and can extrapolate some nuance from that. So with my setup, the stream will hear me chatting with in game randoms. For Xbox, you HAVE to have a 3.5 mm cable from your controller to SOMETHING...whether it be a headset, splitter, etc....but the controller has to have something plugged in to capture "in game randoms" that AREN'T in your xbox console companion. With the HD60s....you probably have a few more workarounds needed because it's external and not internal. I'm going to be honest with you...I had the HD60s for about a year and NEVER could get my audio right (ability to capture me, console companion, or in game randoms). There was always something that didn't work. Spent $$ on all kinds of splitters, countless hours on youtube, and even more hours just frustrated. I highly, highly recommend getting the elgato internal cap card. It make everything so much easier. I don't believe with the HD60s you'll be able to capture what you want because the elgato chat splitter is not a "true chat splitter" like I show in the video. Just trust me with this...please go with internal cap card if you want to make it high quality. If you insist on the external and have cracked the code to do it.....the hissing you are getting is because (i assume) you have your xbox plugged in to a wall or power strip...and the preamp plugged in to a wall or powerstrip. So you have two different power sources going to one place which creates ground loop interference. Easy fix...go on amazon and look up any "GLI isolator" The one by MPOW is used a lot. Plug that into the preamp, and then whatever 3.5mm cable into the female end of it. Should help with the interference. Like i said above, not sure if you can capture all you are wanting to at the same time because you'd have the elgato chat splitter, then the true chat splitter,....so you can see the impending headaches you may have lol. I'd get the internal cap card before anything. Then try some work arounds if you have the patience...if not....internal cap card, start with the goXLR mini, and the audio cable i mentioned in the video. One last point....the in game randoms will hear you somewhat distorted. The Xbox default boosts the mic/line out from the controller because it doesn't run to an amp. Because you are going to an amp/audio mixer...your in game randoms will hear the sound traveling over the "line out." It's boosted so much that it will cap out and sound distorted. goXLR is working on a software fader to reduce this back to normal.....in the meantime....if this happens to you, you will have to adjust you mic output down. May make you sound a little low on stream, but you may be able to boost the broadcast signal in your OBS or whatever software you use to stream. Another option is get an "in line volume adjuster" for that "line out" going from the MIC side of the chat splitter to the amp. Hope this helps...and hope this wasn't too long....let me know if you need me to dive a little deeper. Overview.....get internal cap card....try the variations you have to make it work...if not...copy me haha. If you have subscribed to the channel...thank you! If you haven't yet but feel like I've earned your subscription, please sub :)
@@revnlive3877 appreciate the thought out response 🙏🏻 I also just tonight ran a 3.5mm cable put of my tv directly to the hd60s changed the chat audio in cod to speakers and have the splitter from my Xbox controller with my headset and my line out from my focusrite Scarlett solo and I’m able to capture all game chat on OBS So yeah it may be a cheaper way but I was surprised it was that simple 😂 might have to make a video on it. Could have better audio with optical out from the tv to a mixamp pro with the controller plugged into that and the mic and cable going to the hd60s but I would have to get a mixamp to try it lol 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@jefft9506 awesome man, glad you figured it out. audio is by far the biggest pain the ass to get all things working right. almost seems like no 2 people do it the same. good job on making the external cap card work. a video on how you did would a lot of people
@@funky_9_ I will try and put something together on my gaming channel @crazystuntman48 real soon! I’ve been meaning to start writing ideas down for videos and this is one of them!
Great question…it’s kind of clunky but unplug the cord from the controller. There may be a cord that has a built in “cut off” switch…but I just unplug the cord from the controller
@@revnlive3877 Hi, you're vid is great, it helped me out so much. Thank you! I also have a question about the game chat and how to mute it. You said to unplug the cord that goes into the controller. Do you mean the male end of the splitter that literally goes into the controller, or do you mean unplugging one of the 3.5mm jacks that are plugged into either of the female ends (the one with either the microphone or headset icon)? Either way, does unplugging any cord from the splitter in order to "mute" game chat (not have them hear you) effect the ability for the party chat to still hear you?
@@miahwhiteside6104 thanks for the kind words. Yes, the male end that plugs into the controller. It won’t affect your party chat because that is being handled with your boom mic through your PC
Hey sir, great first vid! What about playing on pc with crossplay? I play Warzone on pc and my friends also play Warzone but on their consoles. It’s annoying for my friends when i talk to the chat. Ive got a Sm7b with the go xlr mini. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words! If they have access to a computer of any kind…they could download discord for free. You would use it just like the console companion. Or all of you would have to be in game chat. Then you would have to mess around the “push to talk” setting that works best for you. You can find that in the menu on warzone. Or lastly….bite the bullet and get Xbox live (although you don’t have Xbox) and utilize it only for talking to your buddies. I don’t know though…you may be able to get that party feature for Xbox live and not pay anything. I think it may be Xbox Live Silver or something….if not, gotta buy the gold subscription
you need an XLR mic for party chat and your stream. The in game chat (randoms) are through your headset mic. not necessary for stream and party chat unless you are playing randoms and/or you want to capture the in game chat audio (death comms) for your stream
Recently they updated Warzone for the series X to run at 120fps. I’m using a 144hz monitor and by turning on free sync I’m typically getting anywhere between 100fps to 120fps in game. I know what my frames are because my asus monitor has an FPS overlay that you can turn on. Using this particular HDMI audio extractor, are you able to get more more than 60fps at 1080p and use freesync? I don’t want to sacrifice frames by using this setup.
I'll look when I have the chance tomorrow and let you know. I honestly dont pay that much attention. Unfortunately though, you are going to be stuck using an audio extractor for streaming with goXLR simply because of the lack of optical out port on the console. There may be different manufacturers that have different FPS, but that's a guess at best. I'll let you know soon...
Steve, after some amateur detective work... I game on the 32" ASUS TUF curved monitor. 144hz. I can confirm that with this setup, HDR on your monitor gets turned off. Drops to 60hz. Also will be at 60fps. I haven't heard that Warzone is 120fps. I'm not a huge monitor guy, so I'm not that tuned into the specs. I'll look and see if there is an extractor that doesn't cap FPS. I'm assuming this is the Xbox cap and not the extractor.
In game chat as in non party chat? make sure of a few things. In your audio settings in you xbox. Volume and audio output....set party chat output to speakers, and both speaker audio and headset audio to Stereo uncompressed. Also, hit the xbox home button that brings up the menu. At the bottom right of that menu is "audio and music". Make sure headset mic is turned on. Does the wire go from the controller to the headset? explain that please, and what model?
@@revnlive3877 im using a wired turtle beach Elite pro 2 headset and i wanna be able to use my Elite pro tac with the series X as well and can i know what is the settings in order to put my goxlr in sleep mode?
@@smilezhotboy Gotcha, I have a pair like those. Dont know if they are the Pro 2s or not, but it does use the TAC. My thoughts: 1) When i got the Elite Pros, it had 2 different cables you could use....the one "like a chat splitter" that plugged into the headset and forked into a Mic and Headphone jack into the TAC. And there was also a standard 3.5mm jack you could plug into the headset and route to the "controller" icon input on the TAC. Which one is the case for you? 2) If you have the "Mic and Headphone split" things from Turtle Beach....I'm not too sure how to go about doing it, would take lots of trial and error 3) If you use the standard 3.5 mm jack from the headset to the TAC.....I'd have to get my stuff out and play around with it. But....if i'm not mistaken...the TAC acts like your "controller" i.e. you don't have to plug a cord into your physical controller. Using that baseline, pretend the TAC is your controller. Maybe try plugging in the chat splitter into the "controller" input on the TAC, then run the appropriate 3.5 cables from the splitter to the goXLR. After that...you still have to have a cord from your headset in order to hear sound....my thoughts would be run another 3.5mm cord from the headset to the "headphone" input on the TAC 4) If this doesn't work...just do some trial and error. Wired headsets with a TAC or MixAMP can get finicky. 5) One last thing to try....Chat Splitter with correct cables from controller to goXLR. Then 3.5 mm cable from headset to "controller" input on TAC. 6) If all else fails...buy the A50s and copy my setup lol
i see how you muted it for xbox but how do you mute in game chat for playstation and talk to twitch? been looking at that for a while now, and i bought a mute switch that work but kinda lame lol
that's a good question...something I hadn't considered before. I haven't purchased a playstation since PS1. My thinking is though unless playstation has an app on the computer you can utilize for party chat (i dont know if playstation has party chat...but i assume it would)...it would be very hard to work around that. if it does have party chat, it would work just like the video shows with some slight nuance. Sorry i can't be anymore help.
@@revnlive3877 I do not know of an app like Xbox has, I know right now I use a stream link from elgato, a $8 3.5 mute switch I do manually but . I have been toying with the idea of making the HDMI audio through capture card, through goxlr mini and into headphones. Mic, I have a little $12 lapel boom mic right next to my xlr mic but I have wondered if I take that out and plug the cord into the line out and send xlr mic out of that would work to the PlayStation elgato cable.. that's the next test
@@rjphllps7 i think you'd be on the right path. most of this stuff is trial and error...that's why you see so many videos on it, audio is the hardest to get right. i just switched to a dual PC stream setup which was task in itself. do the trial and error and see what works. wish i could be more help in that aspect
@@revnlive3877 all to be honest . Its not picking up the mic in the goxlr or the game sound for some reason . I connected everything expect the splitters
@@dev_TC whats not picking up the mic or the sound? the game...OBS?... Make sure you go to your sound settings and make your default output device to the XLR fader you have for your PC. Make your default input device your Chat Mic (whatever you named it on your fader)
Hey, nice video! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’ve just started streaming Warzone. I solely play on PC but my friends play on Xbox and PS5...when I play with them I can hear them fine through my headset and they can hear me but my stream can’t hear them, they can only hear me! Can anyone help! I have looked everywhere!
the setup is the exact same as above. since you are cross platform, you would be considered the "in game random chat" Your setup would be the exact same in the video except no xbox console companion and no controller stuff. If you don't have a goXLR....get one. You're in game chat and game audio would be coming through the same output...there may be a setting in the game audio settings that affects that?? i'm not sure...
I thought about doing that. my thought was most people would already have some familiarity with the goXLR, but I can see where a graphic with the chat splitter would come in handy. If i get anymore suggestions like this, I may make another vid
@@revnlive3877 i agree with skip. i listened to your video 10 times, and im more a visual guy. the a50, goxlr with a avermedia is giving a big headache to get the audio right. its either in game chat with no audio on stream or discord ( which works perfectly ). waiting for the splitter but im trying to make my mic work in in-game chat for now and its not working !
Sadly yes. I haven’t messed around too much with finding another adapter than won’t cap at 60fps. But until Xbox gives you a POV slider for warzone….it’s not that big of a deal
@@jdeadeye4666 not sure. I haven’t fiddled with it too much because I know this works, and I don’t want to have to unfuck something lol. Unless you stream with a dual PC…getting 120 FPS with correct audio on Xbox is not possible that I know of…unless there is an audio extractor out there that can handle it
@@jdeadeye4666 sadly you will see 60 FPS. The Xbox will output 120…but that extractor throttles it to 60. Unless there is an adapter that won’t do that…I don’t know of another way
The real problem nobody can answer is how can us Xbox streamers that stream on a PC through a capture card (Elgato HD60s) talk to “in-game” (proximity/area chat) people on Xbox with our XLR mics. I currently have a XLR mic with a DAC, but I have to join a Windows Xbox party to talk to Xbox people. I can hear people in proximity chat, but can’t talk back. Think it’s a problem that can’t be answered! Currently use Voicemeter, but I'm about to make the swap to my GoXLR! Also, is the only input on the HDMI extractor you use happen to be the optical? Or would the "HMDI-IN" be the xbox and "out" be the PC? Thanks in advance!
The proxy chat should work as long as the game chat is working. Would be no different just having a headset talking to your buds in the game chat as opposed to party. Since you capture card is external and not internal, I’m not sure what your work around would be. I had the HDs and could never get the audio right. Spend the money for the internal, so much easier The audio extractor has 1 hdmi input that comes from your Xbox and 2 outputs…the optical cable from the extractor to XLR and hdmi to your monitor
@@plmason12 yes you do (kind of). watch the last couple of minutes of the video. you'll need that splitter, 3.5mm cables which go from the splitter (plugged in the controller) to the line out and line in of the goXLR

I am about to begin streaming and have a question. Is it better to chat with the party on PS5 via the same mic you are streaming to UA-cam or Twitch with and pull the game and stream audio from the GOXLR like you did? Some I watch separate the chat and game audio and the stream mic.
I don’t think there is a real “better” way to do it. The hardest part is getting it working correctly. If you have a way to do it, and it’s not cumbersome to manage the audio with muting or unmuting and such…roll with it
Why not plug the headphones (A40s) in their mix amp?
@@oneharry_og I haven’t tried that setup before. I’d assume you’d have the 3.5mm cable from the stream out port of the mixamp to the headset input on the goXLR
Sure. I’m just trying to make sense of all this. I have a PS5, a40s, GoXLR, external boom mic and elgato 4K Pro.
@@oneharry_og just gotta figure out what works for you. Lots of trial and error. But you should be able to vary it off what I have here
Would u be able u use a elgato chat link
No. Those dont work with the goXLR. May be able to find a workaround. My suggestion is spend the little money for splitter in the video
wondering why this didn't work for me.
Nooo it didn't work for me... I got some Steelcase series headphones Got my goxlr mini connected to my pc. Connected my splitter to my Xbox series X controller. I have my audio splitter jack 3.55 going to line out, and the headphones going to line in. I have my Steelcase headphones going to the headphone and audio jack on the mini...unfortunately its not working
i'm not quite following what you are saying...also...you may have to turn off your xbox and turn it back on. if you plug in all the stuff after your xbox is on, sometime it won't configure properly
For some reason my microphone doesn’t work in game chat
I still don’t have any sound to my headphones. I will add I have an Alienware laptop I’m using nit a pc. Any suggestions
I don’t think a laptop should matter. Make sure you default audio output on your PC is the correct fader/channel on your goXLR. Other that, without seeing your setup, hard to say
Tried your setup an big W finally have game chat with the goxlr an console setup, but one issue my audio for me is doubled an robotic, an my friends audio is louder, an robotic as well, have you had this issue an if so how do you fix it? Appreciate any help. 👍
Hmmm I can’t say that I have. You may have to adjust your levels (maybe too high). If you are hearing doubled audio, you may have the audio being sourced twice in your obs or stream labs. I know I had the elgato coming through as well as the goXLR so I had to mute the Elgato source in my stream labs (if that makes sense)
@@revnlive3877 Yeah I gotchya ok so my screen capture of the gameplay has audio coming out with it from the elgato, an my goxlr has its own separate audio of it captured as well then, where do I go to eliminate the audio capture from the elgato then? An if that's the case that could be my double audio issue 🤔
@@Mustach92. I would almost guarantee it. I use stream labs. In the bottom right of stream labs is the mixer boxer that lists all your audio inbound and outbound sources. I just scrolled through them until I saw “Elgato” and just clicked mute. Not saying that will be your case, but I’d bet it’s something similar. Just check your mixer or source list in your stream software. Load up a game with audio and see what sources move when you hear music. It should only be one source moving
@@revnlive3877 Ok sounds good ill give a try, appreciate all the help. 👍
@@Mustach92. Ever get it fixed? I run my xbox to my elgato HD60s as well. Then that into my PC I stream on. Did you have to still buy the audio extractor and other cable?
I’ve got everything set up. It captures ps5 audio, their voice, my sure sm7b mic and pc audio all picks up. But my mic for my ps5 doesn’t pick up. It’s a headset mic that plugs directly into controller. Any help? I guess I should say that my mic only works through the controller. And it sounds terrible for other people
Would you also say that the audio extractor is necessary? Cuz for my issue, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case at all. All audio pics up for me except my Logitech mic that plugs into controller usually.
For other people that is
What are you using the headset mic for? The shure XLR mic can be used for both party and in-game. The audio extractor is 100% necessary or else the ps5 audio won’t be captured. Only thing I can think of would be plug the headset mic into the “mic” input of the goXLR if it’s 3.5mm.
Hey, very good info. I got 3 questions though just wondering would this be 4k 120fps? If not could I get a different audio extractor one that could do 4k 120. Second question is do you know how I would do this a PS5, because I don’t think there is something like Xbox consol companion, I may be wrong. 3rd question so I could technically join a party chat call on my Xbox/PlayStation and it should work, because it’s basically the same as if I was in a game chat right? Anyways amazing video good job.
This setup will not be 120...but it can be 4k. Not sure if there is a newer extractor that won't throttle the FPS down to 60. I'm not sure either about the Playstation version of a party chat...you may have to use discord or something. Set up just like the xbox console companion. If you join a party chat that is actually going through the console...you would have to go to your console audio settings and set party output to speakers/TV. Doing this would negate any game chat that is not coming from the party
@@revnlive3877 thank you
Thanks man 💪🏾
How does this work for PS4/5 users. 3.5mmaux Basestation to green goxlr, now for ps4 do I run the optical cable from ps4 to goxlr or to Basestation.
I believe the optical cable goes to the goXLR since that’s the only way the console sound can be captured by the software. If it went to the base station allllll that sound would be pushed through your PC sound output I think. Any optical cable should go from console to XLR or extracted out with that adapter like in the video if your console doesn’t have the optical port
@@revnlive3877 do u know if u ran opt cable from console to Basestation then run a second optical cable from Basestation to xlr would this work too? Cause Basestation does have a opt in and out port, well the gen 4 Basestation does
@@Varillah Hmmmm....if the basestation is wireless...then you won't need the optical cable from console to the basestation. I believe those optical in/out on a basestation would be for a TV, surround sound, watching TV experience. I don't believe any basestation receives a sound signal via optical port. It's either wireless or USB for the most part
@@revnlive3877 thanks for the replies, ive been trying to set up a PS5 with dual PC streaming and the audio routing with A50s is bit of struggle. Cause I want to hear PS5 and PC system sounds at the same time, as well as send PS5 audio chat to stream, as well as use one XLR mic for PS5 and Game PC. A bit technical but should be possible
How does this work exactly with a40s and a mix amp? Would run headphone jack from the aux on the mix amp to the goxlr and plug the a40s into the headphone out jack on the mix amp?
I believe the only thing that would change is you would run a 3.5mm jack from the "stream out" port on the back of the mixamp to the headphone jack of the goXLR. The rest would stay the same...
So does the stream hear you chatting in game with randoms or maybe crossgen people who you can’t invite to Xbox party chat? I have the elgato hd60s but my line out from my focusrite Scarlett xlr preamp has terrible ground loop audio hissing. So when I use the chat link cable to the elgato it picks it up because I want to use my xlr mic so I’m thinking I might get the goxlr mini and a hdmi audio splitter to fix all this? Or would you suggest a different way....
bottom line is I want to be able to use my xlr mic and have in game chat captured me and my team mates that aren’t in Xbox party chat :) thanks
Yea man, I'll try and help as best as I can. I'm not a hugeee audio guy in the aspect of being able to trouble shoot on the fly. I REALLY know how I do it, and can extrapolate some nuance from that.
So with my setup, the stream will hear me chatting with in game randoms. For Xbox, you HAVE to have a 3.5 mm cable from your controller to SOMETHING...whether it be a headset, splitter, etc....but the controller has to have something plugged in to capture "in game randoms" that AREN'T in your xbox console companion.
With the HD60s....you probably have a few more workarounds needed because it's external and not internal. I'm going to be honest with you...I had the HD60s for about a year and NEVER could get my audio right (ability to capture me, console companion, or in game randoms). There was always something that didn't work. Spent $$ on all kinds of splitters, countless hours on youtube, and even more hours just frustrated. I highly, highly recommend getting the elgato internal cap card. It make everything so much easier. I don't believe with the HD60s you'll be able to capture what you want because the elgato chat splitter is not a "true chat splitter" like I show in the video. Just trust me with this...please go with internal cap card if you want to make it high quality.
If you insist on the external and have cracked the code to do it.....the hissing you are getting is because (i assume) you have your xbox plugged in to a wall or power strip...and the preamp plugged in to a wall or powerstrip. So you have two different power sources going to one place which creates ground loop interference. Easy fix...go on amazon and look up any "GLI isolator" The one by MPOW is used a lot. Plug that into the preamp, and then whatever 3.5mm cable into the female end of it. Should help with the interference.
Like i said above, not sure if you can capture all you are wanting to at the same time because you'd have the elgato chat splitter, then the true chat splitter,....so you can see the impending headaches you may have lol. I'd get the internal cap card before anything. Then try some work arounds if you have the patience...if not....internal cap card, start with the goXLR mini, and the audio cable i mentioned in the video.
One last point....the in game randoms will hear you somewhat distorted. The Xbox default boosts the mic/line out from the controller because it doesn't run to an amp. Because you are going to an amp/audio mixer...your in game randoms will hear the sound traveling over the "line out." It's boosted so much that it will cap out and sound distorted. goXLR is working on a software fader to reduce this back to normal.....in the meantime....if this happens to you, you will have to adjust you mic output down. May make you sound a little low on stream, but you may be able to boost the broadcast signal in your OBS or whatever software you use to stream. Another option is get an "in line volume adjuster" for that "line out" going from the MIC side of the chat splitter to the amp.
Hope this helps...and hope this wasn't too long....let me know if you need me to dive a little deeper. Overview.....get internal cap card....try the variations you have to make it work...if not...copy me haha.

@@revnlive3877 appreciate the thought out response 🙏🏻 I also just tonight ran a 3.5mm cable put of my tv directly to the hd60s changed the chat audio in cod to speakers and have the splitter from my Xbox controller with my headset and my line out from my focusrite Scarlett solo and I’m able to capture all game chat on OBS
So yeah it may be a cheaper way but I was surprised it was that simple 😂 might have to make a video on it. Could have better audio with optical out from the tv to a mixamp pro with the controller plugged into that and the mic and cable going to the hd60s but I would have to get a mixamp to try it lol 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@jefft9506 awesome man, glad you figured it out. audio is by far the biggest pain the ass to get all things working right. almost seems like no 2 people do it the same. good job on making the external cap card work. a video on how you did would a lot of people

How do you go about muting game chat tho? You muted party chat. But not in game chat… how would I accomplish that ?
Great question…it’s kind of clunky but unplug the cord from the controller. There may be a cord that has a built in “cut off” switch…but I just unplug the cord from the controller
@@revnlive3877 Hi, you're vid is great, it helped me out so much. Thank you! I also have a question about the game chat and how to mute it. You said to unplug the cord that goes into the controller. Do you mean the male end of the splitter that literally goes into the controller, or do you mean unplugging one of the 3.5mm jacks that are plugged into either of the female ends (the one with either the microphone or headset icon)? Either way, does unplugging any cord from the splitter in order to "mute" game chat (not have them hear you) effect the ability for the party chat to still hear you?
@@miahwhiteside6104 thanks for the kind words. Yes, the male end that plugs into the controller. It won’t affect your party chat because that is being handled with your boom mic through your PC
Hey sir, great first vid! What about playing on pc with crossplay? I play Warzone on pc and my friends also play Warzone but on their consoles. It’s annoying for my friends when i talk to the chat.
Ive got a Sm7b with the go xlr mini.
Thanks
Thanks for the kind words! If they have access to a computer of any kind…they could download discord for free. You would use it just like the console companion. Or all of you would have to be in game chat. Then you would have to mess around the “push to talk” setting that works best for you. You can find that in the menu on warzone. Or lastly….bite the bullet and get Xbox live (although you don’t have Xbox) and utilize it only for talking to your buddies. I don’t know though…you may be able to get that party feature for Xbox live and not pay anything. I think it may be Xbox Live Silver or something….if not, gotta buy the gold subscription
So do I need a xlr mic or boom for it to work in game?
you need an XLR mic for party chat and your stream. The in game chat (randoms) are through your headset mic. not necessary for stream and party chat unless you are playing randoms and/or you want to capture the in game chat audio (death comms) for your stream
@@revnlive3877 alright thank you so much i guess ill buy one lol
Recently they updated Warzone for the series X to run at 120fps. I’m using a 144hz monitor and by turning on free sync I’m typically getting anywhere between 100fps to 120fps in game. I know what my frames are because my asus monitor has an FPS overlay that you can turn on. Using this particular HDMI audio extractor, are you able to get more more than 60fps at 1080p and use freesync? I don’t want to sacrifice frames by using this setup.
I'll look when I have the chance tomorrow and let you know. I honestly dont pay that much attention. Unfortunately though, you are going to be stuck using an audio extractor for streaming with goXLR simply because of the lack of optical out port on the console. There may be different manufacturers that have different FPS, but that's a guess at best. I'll let you know soon...
Steve, after some amateur detective work...
I game on the 32" ASUS TUF curved monitor. 144hz. I can confirm that with this setup, HDR on your monitor gets turned off. Drops to 60hz. Also will be at 60fps. I haven't heard that Warzone is 120fps. I'm not a huge monitor guy, so I'm not that tuned into the specs. I'll look and see if there is an extractor that doesn't cap FPS. I'm assuming this is the Xbox cap and not the extractor.
get HDMI 2.0 with 18GBPS audio extractor and you should be good
I did that but people in game chat still dont hear you nor u cant hear them im using turtle beach wired headset
In game chat as in non party chat? make sure of a few things. In your audio settings in you xbox. Volume and audio output....set party chat output to speakers, and both speaker audio and headset audio to Stereo uncompressed. Also, hit the xbox home button that brings up the menu. At the bottom right of that menu is "audio and music". Make sure headset mic is turned on.
Does the wire go from the controller to the headset? explain that please, and what model?
@@revnlive3877 so the head set is a wired turtle beach Elite Pro 2 and I have a Elite Pro Tac, playin on a series X
@@revnlive3877 im using a wired turtle beach Elite pro 2 headset and i wanna be able to use my Elite pro tac with the series X as well and can i know what is the settings in order to put my goxlr in sleep mode?
@@smilezhotboy Gotcha, I have a pair like those. Dont know if they are the Pro 2s or not, but it does use the TAC. My thoughts:
1) When i got the Elite Pros, it had 2 different cables you could use....the one "like a chat splitter" that plugged into the headset and forked into a Mic and Headphone jack into the TAC. And there was also a standard 3.5mm jack you could plug into the headset and route to the "controller" icon input on the TAC. Which one is the case for you?
2) If you have the "Mic and Headphone split" things from Turtle Beach....I'm not too sure how to go about doing it, would take lots of trial and error
3) If you use the standard 3.5 mm jack from the headset to the TAC.....I'd have to get my stuff out and play around with it. But....if i'm not mistaken...the TAC acts like your "controller" i.e. you don't have to plug a cord into your physical controller. Using that baseline, pretend the TAC is your controller. Maybe try plugging in the chat splitter into the "controller" input on the TAC, then run the appropriate 3.5 cables from the splitter to the goXLR. After that...you still have to have a cord from your headset in order to hear sound....my thoughts would be run another 3.5mm cord from the headset to the "headphone" input on the TAC
4) If this doesn't work...just do some trial and error. Wired headsets with a TAC or MixAMP can get finicky.
5) One last thing to try....Chat Splitter with correct cables from controller to goXLR. Then 3.5 mm cable from headset to "controller" input on TAC.
6) If all else fails...buy the A50s and copy my setup lol
@@revnlive3877 thanks ima try a couple different things out and let you know what was the outcome appropriate it we gonna have to get a game in
i see how you muted it for xbox but how do you mute in game chat for playstation and talk to twitch? been looking at that for a while now, and i bought a mute switch that work but kinda lame lol
that's a good question...something I hadn't considered before. I haven't purchased a playstation since PS1. My thinking is though unless playstation has an app on the computer you can utilize for party chat (i dont know if playstation has party chat...but i assume it would)...it would be very hard to work around that. if it does have party chat, it would work just like the video shows with some slight nuance. Sorry i can't be anymore help.
@@revnlive3877 I do not know of an app like Xbox has, I know right now I use a stream link from elgato, a $8 3.5 mute switch I do manually but . I have been toying with the idea of making the HDMI audio through capture card, through goxlr mini and into headphones. Mic, I have a little $12 lapel boom mic right next to my xlr mic but I have wondered if I take that out and plug the cord into the line out and send xlr mic out of that would work to the PlayStation elgato cable.. that's the next test
@@rjphllps7 i think you'd be on the right path. most of this stuff is trial and error...that's why you see so many videos on it, audio is the hardest to get right. i just switched to a dual PC stream setup which was task in itself. do the trial and error and see what works. wish i could be more help in that aspect

Hey, nice video! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’ve just started streaming Warzone. I solely play on PC but my friends play on Xbox and PS5...when I play with them I can hear them fine through my headset and they can hear me but my stream can’t hear them, they can only hear me! Can anyone help! I have looked everywhere!
the setup is the exact same as above. since you are cross platform, you would be considered the "in game random chat" Your setup would be the exact same in the video except no xbox console companion and no controller stuff. If you don't have a goXLR....get one. You're in game chat and game audio would be coming through the same output...there may be a setting in the game audio settings that affects that?? i'm not sure...
Sadly, didn't work for me.
What’s the setup
would be better to show it with a graphic tbh what cable goes where to
I thought about doing that. my thought was most people would already have some familiarity with the goXLR, but I can see where a graphic with the chat splitter would come in handy. If i get anymore suggestions like this, I may make another vid
@@revnlive3877 i agree with skip. i listened to your video 10 times, and im more a visual guy. the a50, goxlr with a avermedia is giving a big headache to get the audio right. its either in game chat with no audio on stream or discord ( which works perfectly ). waiting for the splitter but im trying to make my mic work in in-game chat for now and its not working !
Does this cause your game play to be 60fps?
Sadly yes. I haven’t messed around too much with finding another adapter than won’t cap at 60fps. But until Xbox gives you a POV slider for warzone….it’s not that big of a deal

The real problem nobody can answer is how can us Xbox streamers that stream on a PC through a capture card (Elgato HD60s) talk to “in-game” (proximity/area chat) people on Xbox with our XLR mics. I currently have a XLR mic with a DAC, but I have to join a Windows Xbox party to talk to Xbox people. I can hear people in proximity chat, but can’t talk back. Think it’s a problem that can’t be answered! Currently use Voicemeter, but I'm about to make the swap to my GoXLR!
Also, is the only input on the HDMI extractor you use happen to be the optical? Or would the "HMDI-IN" be the xbox and "out" be the PC? Thanks in advance!
The proxy chat should work as long as the game chat is working. Would be no different just having a headset talking to your buds in the game chat as opposed to party. Since you capture card is external and not internal, I’m not sure what your work around would be. I had the HDs and could never get the audio right. Spend the money for the internal, so much easier
The audio extractor has 1 hdmi input that comes from your Xbox and 2 outputs…the optical cable from the extractor to XLR and hdmi to your monitor
