      I've been watching videos for weeks. I bought an extra USB-C cord. I'm gonna use the power cord and hook that to my ps5. Any idea how to turn off the echo/hear myself talking in my headset?

      I had that exact same sound card you had. I also connected my PS5. The audio issue were the mic settings... Once you play around with it, you will also notice if you have on stream mix or not. It will take some tinkering but I'm sure you'll get your right mix, but it's not a hardware issue like I thought it was initially

    It was difficult trying to figure out how to set it all up with an external capture card to the PS5, but Roland does have very good customer support and a lot of different setup variation guides on their website. That help a lot. I wish the internal capture card output at least 1080 120, but maybe in future generations. Overall a fantastic product to me personally

I’ve also went into the BRIDGE CAST app, ensure that the game sound is fed to the [HDMI] channel and the voice chat sound is fed to the [CONS/MOBI] channel, and adjusted their volumes accordingly. However, when I go to speak my mic isn’t picking up on the PlayStation 5 but it does in OBS. I can hear but, when I go into Warzone my squad can’t hear me and a mic is crucial. I’m trying to figure this out. I use an xlr mic that requires 48 phantom power. Xbox was easy to setup it’s on HDMI 2 ps5 is the only thing giving complications lol and it’s on HDMI 1.

    • @Hxrshmello

      Probably because it’s meant for streaming over recordings so it doesn’t need to be pushing out 120. Plus the pass through is still can do up to 240hz at 1080 so u can see it but it’s not like a stream would regardless. Doesn’t make sense to add more and increase cost just for recordings.

    Great video! I am struggling with the fact that I can't separate out the tracks in OBS and still control the volumes with BridgeCast X. I had to set the BridgeCast X stream sound (mic) to not record, but heard in stream, and then separate the rest of the tracks to set those to record, not heard in stream.
    Also, I am now having an issue with the music audio sounding shaky or dropping through the BridgeCast X to stream in OBS 😢
    There is very little on the internet about troubleshooting for this thing yet, so thank you for doing a video!

    • @Badboygamingfordads
      @Badboygamingfordads  9 місяців тому

      I asked questions through customer support and they were quick to respond. For me I didn't separate everything in OBS I just use different knobs. There is a video on UA-cam where a guy explains how to have separate sources in OBS, but its the Bridge cast. That should still work the same. Good luck 👍

It’s one of those frequencies that not everybody can hear but, I heard it and my wife heard it when I watch the video.
