Hey man, this tutorial has been fantastic but I'm having trouble getting my gaming PC audio into OBS on my streaming PC. I can hear everything perfectly fine in my headphones on both PC's, but I'm stumped. I followed the tutorial completely and even watched part 2 for OBS. I have every setting you've shown in routing, any ideas? Thanks again.
In OBS make sure the source for game audio is Audio INPUT Capture, Microphone (RCP2 Main Stereo). I’m guessing you used Audio OUTPUT Capture instead, maybe? Let me know.
Hey there is no one that explains it in so much detail, but in very simplistic terms! You are a goat! God bless you sir, you def deserve million plus views!!!
I have to say Thank you for this easy Routing tutorial. I used the Caster now for 2 Years and I got it to work in the past by try and error and now I know what I'm doing Thank you thousend times. :)
Amazing tutorial, thank you! If you've followed the steps and still cant get OBS to catch gaming PC audio like me, go into the settings and disable multitrack. Work instantly! Thanks again!
I have watched at least a dozen vids about this device, yours is hands down the best and the only one that explains in language that someone who is technically smart but audiologically dumb like me how to set this shit up. Been melting my brain for 2 days trying to figure out the audio on my new 2 box stream setup. Your vid convinced me this device does what I want and exactly how to make it work. Rhode owes you a sale commission my friend. Not just for this but for the midi tutorial which eliminates the tablet running touch portal from my desk since I can easily set up macros to switch scenes and mute audio channels with 1 button. You sir are a national treasure and a god among men. Thank you.
Just a quick follow up as I got everything set up and was able to do a test stream. It works flawlessly. I had to do some tweaking with noise reduction, compressor and noise gate filters (probably due to my cheap condenser mic) but other than that I am thrilled. Not only is my audio spot on, but the new second box I built for the stream is rock stable. And with streaming duties taken off my game box I can stream while playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k raytracing overdrive settings at 80fps. Been needing this since I built my new gaming rig in January. Thank you again.
thank you for this tutorial! this really helped me set up my OBS the way it should be. super easy to follow, i had to factory reset a few times, and i always come across this vid to fix the setup again. :D
this is a great video!!! im planning on grabbing the duo this month and now i feel more confident setting up a new mixer. im moving from the GOXLR and i feel like this was way easier to understand than when i was routing the GOXLR. Thank you for the work you did with this video.
Seriously one of the best tutorials!! You cover all the bases with out any fluff! I went to Audio Engineering school and I was still having trouble figuring this out. Albeit I have a Apollo interface where all my sound goes to then out to my monitors and IEMS/Headphones. But yeah man AMAZING job!
Definitely a great vid. I'm using the streamer x, with rode unify, and I think you just solved my voice echo in some people's mics on call of duty. Also the simple explanation of routing just gave me a better understanding of what the heck is going on. Thank you for your time an effort on this video. I just started streaming and this was a great video.
I've got a slightly different use case but I think what you have shown here will be very useful. I just wanted to say thanks for a very clear description - Much appreciated.
Hey I had to take the time to thank you for doing this. This made my entire setup a breeze. You went through everything step by step and I literally have a perfect audio setup now because of you. I liked, subbed, and I will always stay subbed no matter what because of how easy you made this for me. Thank you again!
Hey! Watching this tutorial here. It's great until we get to the OBS settings. You show the mixer and the actual lines, but not what the Audio Settings are inside OBS. What Setting do I need to get my Gaming PC on my Streaming PC OBS? Is it a Microphone or Desktop Audio?

Thanks for the video. Read through the comments and saw you mentioned to have the main mix as an input. Threw Main Stereo on Mic/Aux 2 and boom! Gaming PC Audio is coming through to OBS. Props brutha.
Just got mine last night and coming from an Elgato Wave XLR. Thank you for helping me to get things setup well on my Dual PC setup. Nice not running two audio cables from each computer to the other.
No problem. But don’t throw those cables away. Stay tuned for my next video coming this week where I show you how with those extra cables you can get complete control over your audio inputs and outputs while simplifying your OBS/Streamlabs audio config.
Have a weird issue@@ashy941 . For some reason with my DUO setup with my avermedia cap card, in OBS, it plays my cap card audio through the chat mic and I cannot figure out why. Have you seen this at all?
@@ashy941 The issue ended up being USB1 on the Rode DUO after 1 day stopped sending out Mic to either my stream PC or gaming one. So, sending back and have a new one coming tomorrow. Going to chalk it up as a faulty unit. I see my original post didn't take. I was getting cap card audio through chat mic and nothing for the mic.
Great tutorial man. And that also answers some questions i had. Tho i really hope they beef up their software a little, because if there were one thing i would wish for, then its an additional audio channel-separation. So i could send in Game Audio and Browser Audio on two separate lines and could then work with them individually in OBS or SSSonar. I honestly thought they would go that far, considering that this is clearly an option for a dual USB connection, but that way USB2 kinda just works like a glorified Audio Jack with Mic input. :/
Thanks man! I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on the rodecaster duo. Have not seen any tutorial on youtube doing what you just did. Good work!!
Didn't expect to se NADESHOT here🤣but yes, I had the same problem as well. Your 1st troubleshoot you gave Nadeshot worked for me👍🏼 audio input etc. THANKS‼️
Hi thx for the video idk if you showed how to add all the Chanel’s to OBS. That’s the problem I’m having I can’t add the RCP2 channel to obs I use the ASIO plugin for OBS but it doesn’t work. If you can tell me how you add you channel to obs. THX 🙏
Hmmm…not sure why it would be a problem but check out out Part 2 which shows how all of the audio sources are created in OBS from scratch: ua-cam.com/video/5opSzVOdxkI/v-deo.html&feature=sharec
Awesome setup video. I know a lot of people are wanting more virtual channels for better control, like those coming from GoXLR as myself. A workaround I did for separating my game chat from main mix was using my line out on gaming PC and plugging that into my 2nd RodeCaster input as a line in so I can control it separately in my mix. Hope they just update firmware and add more USB audio channel sources.
Nice! Thanks for commenting, I’m sure someone will find this helpful. At a minimum, Rode could just add a USB2 Chat and they solve the problem you had to do with hardware. I hate having to run extra wires cuz it’s messy and noisy, even with ground loop isolators although viewers will never notice. I’m just weird that way LOL. I think the challenge they’ll have is adding scrolling to the display for the additional virtual inputs but once they solve for that, the sky’s the limit.
Great video! Thank you. This is going to be so helpful for lots of folks trying to setup dual pc steaming. The audio set up is the most challenging aspect of setting up a dual pc stream setup. Unfortunately for me, I'm using two separate audio interfaces, and just finally figured out how to set it up. That was a headache. Great job!
@ashy941 dude I had my first dual pc stream last night & your tutorial was spot on. Had 0 issues. You're a life saver dude. I held back for so long but I'm glad I found your video. GG!
hey man! if I'm recording in obs on the gaming pc, I get the clean mic signal from your tutorial, right? one channel is just mic and the other one is game audio, so I can record them separately
Thank you so much for all the help! but I am having a problem in obs When the audio comes from my game pc it comes from my mic in obs do you know how to fix that?
I haven't figured out a way to play sound through the studio monitors not headphones while being able to talk. When I talk I can hear myself through my studio monitors. I can't find any setting to mute my voice on my end. The speaker icon does nothing for me on or off I can turn down the slider so I don't wanna hear myself as much but then it makes me more quiet on the stream. Any ideas? If I mess with the linking options, then it disabled my microphone output on stream, so I'm not sure when I'm missing, but I don't like to hear myself talk at least all my desktop speakers in my headphones. It's OK because I have a separate control to turn it down if I don't want to hear my voice, but I can't get it to stop on my desktop speakers.
Great guide! thank you! I only have one problem. I can't control the audio level that is coming from the streaming pc with the physical fader assigned to USB 1. It only affects what I can hear in the monitor, but doesn't lower or increases the volume like the other faders (usb2 on the gaming pc or chat) What am I doing wrong?
You have choices/flexibility in how to handle audio in OBS. This video is the simplest possible setup in Rodecaster but you have to configure more things in OBS. Alternatively, you can make the Rodecaster config more complex and simplify OBS. Check out my “Ultimate”. Video.
Amazing video and breakdown but i have a question for you , a long one so im sorry in advanced Im using a 2 pc setup also but my gaming pc is windows and my streaming pc is a mac. I also record music on my MacBook using an Apogee Symphony audio interface into protools. what is the best way to use the Apogee Symphony interface as my main audio source on the MacBook pro and at the same time feed that audio into the Rodecaster so that the stream can hear the music session as I hear it. Or maybe there's a way to use both interfaces at the same time, idk Id appreciate your help 🙏🏾
I don’t have experience with the Apogee or with Mac streaming so all I can do is speak in theory. What I THINK may be possible would be to use both interfaces tag the same time - I don’t see a reason why MacOS would have a problem with this. Then, if you were ok with not using the RodeCaster chat channel for actual chat, you could feed The Apogee output into the RCP2 chat channel and then Send that back out the main mix Alternatively, and easier would be if you have physical, analog outputs on the Apogee you could feed those into two of the mic/line inputs configured in stereo on the RCP2.
I'm sure it has it in there. But i was confused about the following: How is he getting his discord separate from his microphone(chat). he's using APPLICATION AUDIO CAPTUIRE(BETA) in obs/streamlabs to add discord audio. It's not routed separately in obs USING the rodecaster. the rest you can use audio input capture.
did all of this it worked for a while but now no audio from my gaming is making it to my streaming and my streaming audio isnt coming out the fader its suppose too
Awesome explanation. I do have one question, how would I have discord and music (spotify) separate in SLOBS? Mine comes through as the stream PC desktop audio. TY for this video
@@ashy941 So I followed everything and all works, but SLOBS is not showing input from the gaming PC... I can hear it through my headphones connected to the RODEcaster but it is not registering. Any ideas? everything else shows music, discord, mic, stream PC - TY for any help in advance
So... you can't split music onto a physical fader? All the "stream PC audio" is bundled as a single channel with no way to separate say music from OBS alerts? Only option is to add those individually in OBS and manage their volume that way? I'm used to the GoXLR where you can separate apps onto faders
No, that’s not the only option. This video is the easy setup. You want the “not so easy” setup video 😉 ua-cam.com/video/rn1g6wxG1WM/v-deo.htmlsi=xFyA7llqnMCUU-23
THANKS fot the video bus i have a question. I put every thing like you but the main volume on obs i can not control with de rodcaster fader usb 1 group. the pc gamer for exemple i move the fader, on the obs the soind move like the fader but in stream pc no. i dont know.
@ hey Thanks for reply, my question was if discord is in streaming rig and you need to use PTT from gaming rig, similarly if how to PTT the main mic from gaming rig
@ I don’t know how a PTT key on one computer can be sent to a completely different computer. What I’ve seen is streamers using a separate foot pedal for each computer that controls push to mute (Discord) and push to talk (Game). I suppose if you wanted to mute the actual mic on the Rodecaster, just as if you pressed the mute button on the console, you MIGHT be able to do it with a MIDI command, which you MIGHT be able to implement with something like midikey2key, but I have not tried this.
Hello i don’t have loudness equalizer in my sound windows settings on my second pc (game - rodecaster pro 2 secondary) on Windows 11 but i have on Windows 10 thanks
Hey man, i followed all of your routing settings and for whatever reason im getting this unwanted echo, i’ve resettled my RCP2 and tried re-configuring the routing however when i get rid of the echo, i can no longer pick up any audio to OBS on my streaming PC
Is there a way to direct all the audio coming from either Gaming PC or Streaming PC into the Audio Output (Headphones secondary) instead of the Audio Input (Desktop Mic Secondary)? I have the settings set so that the Gaming PC is USB1 and Streaming PC is USB2 and I got the settings all down and all the audio seem to be working fine, it's just the matter of quality since it is coming through the mic as the input rather than headphones as output in Streamlabs OBS.
@@OfficialFluchax I’m having trouble understanding your issue. In one message you say it’s fine except for quality and then you say it’s not fine because you’re getting echo. Plus you have it plugged in exactly the opposite of the video so there’s a lot for me to try and unpack here and try and help you. Best to join my Discord chat where you can show me screenshots and have a more interactive discussion. But I’m also traveling now through Saturday so I can’t be as responsive as I normally could be.
Thought about getting one of these because I have a GoXLR that will eventually stop being supported. Just based off the video, wouldn't it be easier to flip your diagram? Meaning by using gaming PC as 1 instead of 2, only one audio track would be going into obs? At least that is what I currently do on my goxlr...I do a bit different though. I use discord on gaming PC and music on streaming PC.
Hey! This video was fantastic, thanks for putting this together. I’m moving from my goXLR mini to the RCP2 and I had a question- I have discord on my gaming PC instead of my streaming pc. Could I still keep it that way with the RCP2?
coming from a goxlr this seems like a step back. There's no way to separate game audio and game chat into separate outputs into the procaster pro 2 / assigning each it's own slider?
@@joshuaprice1535 You can 100% separate them. You’re watching one of several videos I’ve made and it’s the oldest and easiest possible configuration. Check out the others and if you still need help separating game chat and audio, join my Discord.
awesome guide! ive had the procaster 2 pro for almost a year and havnt used it due to my inability to figure out the routing until this video, so thank you a ton! lol quick question though, if using this on a single pc setup, on the usb1 routing, would we only leave usb1 on and turn off usb2? if we only want game audio sent through the usb audio, and all voice audio through the chat routing?
hi for some reason my mic on my gaming pc sounds dank and I am unsure how to fix it. I have the shuresm7b and when I use it on my streaming pc it sounds amazing but when i hear or talk in my gaming pc it sounds super dank and loud. Can anyone please help?
Great thank you so much for the video everything works flawlessly now my question is if I decide no to turn on my streaming PC will I still be able to talk to discord without them hearing my game
I have discord installed on both PC's but I wanted to know if it was possible to be able to talk on discord while playing a game without the discord party hearing my game thru their headset or is there just no way
@@rayted3553 You have options. You can use a foot pedal and assign it to Push to Mute button in Discord (simple) or you can put Discord on a fader on the Rodecaster and hit the mute button (less simple). Those are two options at least.
Hm i am a bit confused. to see discord on my Rode i need to use Discord Output Device to Microphone too... so i can separate my discord completly from the PC Sound and can change the volume with the fader of discord.. or is my thinking wrong?
This video is the simplest possible setup. I thinking you’ll be interested in something more advanced here: ua-cam.com/video/rn1g6wxG1WM/v-deo.htmlsi=075jANBPOZf89ZzQ
Hi, question: How about using rodecaster pro2 to sent to process the mic with adobe audition then send back to rodecaster pro2 and final stream live to OBS or Sam broadcaster is possible to that? of course all that is live not recording, if it is possible can you make a video? I will appreciate really. Thank you
Single PC?…definitely. Dual PC?…probably but a bit more involved with at least one analog connection. Both possibilities assume that Audition can output to a specific computer sound device OR you use something like Voicemeter to do that. Video?…not any time soon, sorry 😞
I have been waiting for this. I had to order an extra long usb c to c for my main to my stream pc. No longer do I have to set listen to elgato 4k60 pro. One other thing, can I use the usb 2 without my stream pc on, for when I don't want to stream?
I have a Duo that I plan to use with a single PC for podcasting and a USB condenser mic. If the PC connects to USB1, I should then be able to use my condenser mic in USB2 without issue, correct?
@@1970JonHENRY If it’s a RODE USB Mic then I’d say yes. If not, then I don’t know for sure but I don’t think it will work. I’ve never tried any USB microphones so I’m just going off what is on RODE’s website.
NDI is starting to become popular .. wish the rode caster comes with an update to add it like the Mackie Creator DLZ interface that has NDI two pc music streaming pc to pc .. Any thoughts?
Can you dedicate discord for example to slider 2, and so on similar to how you can on the goxlr ? (example': streaming pc: slider 2 discord, sldier 3, system audio, gaming pc : game audio slider 4)
Fantastic video! Thank you! I am considering picking up a RoadCaster to replace my GoXLR. One question I had is you have music on a dedicated input on OBS, how are you achieving that since I thought it was being routed on the PCAudio / RodeCaster Main Stereo? Are you using a virtual audio cable solution? I currently have music separated from my stream PC audio with my GoXLR in OBS so that I can check out other UA-cam links or something without sending it to the stream before deciding if I'll play it on stream to make sure it's not inappropriate. Thank you again!
How are you getting Discord and your Music to show as different levels/inputs on the RC Duo? Does it expose multiple devices to windows that you've set those softwares to send to?
This is awesome. Thanks mate. I have the GoXLR mini and will be changing to the RodeCaster Duo soon. My question is can you have a setting/preset where I can utilize all my usual audio I/O's (mic, game, Discord, Spotify etc.) without having to be running both my pc's when I'm not streaming and without having to physically change connections? My room can get quite hot with 2 pcs and 2 monitors, so if I don't need to have both on to game off stream I would prefer that. If I just want to game with friends off stream, I don't need to have 2 pc's running to use Discord etc.? I can have Discord and Spotify on my gaming pc for off stream stuff and also on the Streaming PC when I'm running Dual setup and maybe have some sort of preset that I can change depending on how many PCs are active. Hope that makes sense haha!
Yes, the configuration is stored on the device and power comes from an outlet, not either of the PCs. And yes, you can save different “shows” with different configuration settings, but you need a little memory card and it doesn’t come with one.
@ashy941 need help, the gaming pc audio is not routing at all to usb-1, i have the same settings as you showed us, having the exact same issue as @Nadeshot, even after powering off/on, downloading the ASIO drivers and doing the factory reset, its still not routing back to usb-1??

Hope they just update firmware and add more USB audio channel sources.
Nice! Thanks for commenting, I’m sure someone will find this helpful.
At a minimum, Rode could just add a USB2 Chat and they solve the problem you had to do with hardware. I hate having to run extra wires cuz it’s messy and noisy, even with ground loop isolators although viewers will never notice. I’m just weird that way LOL.
I think the challenge they’ll have is adding scrolling to the display for the additional virtual inputs but once they solve for that, the sky’s the limit.
really great stuff, do you have a video going through how you have your OBS audio channels routed?
@@BLITZEDKY Yes, you’re watching an OLD video. Checkout my newest ones and if you still have questions or issues join my Discord!
Since the goxlr is dead I wanted to change audio mixers. You sir have convinced me.
Good luck, have fun!
Great video! Thank you. This is going to be so helpful for lots of folks trying to setup dual pc steaming. The audio set up is the most challenging aspect of setting up a dual pc stream setup. Unfortunately for me, I'm using two separate audio interfaces, and just finally figured out how to set it up. That was a headache. Great job!
The audio isn’t really complicated if you buy the right equipment it’s only complicated when you trying to use software to do it for free
great tutorial, thanks buds! sending love and peace to everyone...
Keeping thie video right next to me as im doing my first ever 2 pc set up this week. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it 😂😂
Great video! 🎉❤
Piece of cake…you got this! 😂
@ashy941 dude I had my first dual pc stream last night & your tutorial was spot on. Had 0 issues. You're a life saver dude. I held back for so long but I'm glad I found your video. GG!
this is the video ive been waiting for.. Thank you so much
hey man! if I'm recording in obs on the gaming pc, I get the clean mic signal from your tutorial, right? one channel is just mic and the other one is game audio, so I can record them separately
@@thetremba Certainly!
@@ashy941 thank you very much! I thought I will have to use both rodecaster and my goxlr at the same time for that, but you saved me!
Thank you so much for all the help! but I am having a problem in obs When the audio comes from my game pc it comes from my mic in obs do you know how to fix that?
I haven't figured out a way to play sound through the studio monitors not headphones while being able to talk. When I talk I can hear myself through my studio monitors. I can't find any setting to mute my voice on my end. The speaker icon does nothing for me on or off I can turn down the slider so I don't wanna hear myself as much but then it makes me more quiet on the stream. Any ideas? If I mess with the linking options, then it disabled my microphone output on stream, so I'm not sure when I'm missing, but I don't like to hear myself talk at least all my desktop speakers in my headphones. It's OK because I have a separate control to turn it down if I don't want to hear my voice, but I can't get it to stop on my desktop speakers.
@@OverlandishAdventures In output, routing, select the monitors, deselect your microphone.
Bro thank u men I really like the way you doing 🔥🔥🚀
this is literally exactly what i needed holy crap youre amazing
Great guide! thank you! I only have one problem. I can't control the audio level that is coming from the streaming pc with the physical fader assigned to USB 1. It only affects what I can hear in the monitor, but doesn't lower or increases the volume like the other faders (usb2 on the gaming pc or chat) What am I doing wrong?
Thank you !! do you leave the Audio section in settings disabled and bring everything in separately to control full audio for OBS ?
You have choices/flexibility in how to handle audio in OBS. This video is the simplest possible setup in Rodecaster but you have to configure more things in OBS. Alternatively, you can make the Rodecaster config more complex and simplify OBS. Check out my “Ultimate”. Video.
@@ashy941 I’m trying the single PC set up video now since that’s what I have .. I have the duo but I’m trying to follow as close as I can
Amazing video and breakdown but i have a question for you , a long one so im sorry in advanced
Im using a 2 pc setup also but my gaming pc is windows and my streaming pc is a mac.
I also record music on my MacBook using an Apogee Symphony audio interface into protools.
what is the best way to use the Apogee Symphony interface as my main audio source on the MacBook pro and at the same time feed that audio into the Rodecaster so that the stream can hear the music session as I hear it.
Or maybe there's a way to use both interfaces at the same time, idk
Id appreciate your help 🙏🏾
I don’t have experience with the Apogee or with Mac streaming so all I can do is speak in theory. What I THINK may be possible would be to use both interfaces tag the same time - I don’t see a reason why MacOS would have a problem with this.
Then, if you were ok with not using the RodeCaster chat channel for actual chat, you could feed The Apogee output into the RCP2 chat channel and then Send that back out the main mix
Alternatively, and easier would be if you have physical, analog outputs on the Apogee you could feed those into two of the mic/line inputs configured in stereo on the RCP2.
Cool video, buddy. Make an in-depth MIDI video, that would be great!
Already did!
This helped a bunch, subscribed!
I'm sure it has it in there. But i was confused about the following: How is he getting his discord separate from his microphone(chat). he's using APPLICATION AUDIO CAPTUIRE(BETA) in obs/streamlabs to add discord audio. It's not routed separately in obs USING the rodecaster. the rest you can use audio input capture.
Brilliant video 👍
omg, thank you SO much for this!
did all of this it worked for a while but now no audio from my gaming is making it to my streaming and my streaming audio isnt coming out the fader its suppose too
Awesome explanation. I do have one question, how would I have discord and music (spotify) separate in SLOBS? Mine comes through as the stream PC desktop audio. TY for this video
Check out my other Dual PC video!
@@ashy941 So I followed everything and all works, but SLOBS is not showing input from the gaming PC... I can hear it through my headphones connected to the RODEcaster but it is not registering. Any ideas? everything else shows music, discord, mic, stream PC - TY for any help in advance
@@oneharry_og Join my discord and upload screenshots of your Rodecaster routing and OBS audio settings/configuration.
So... you can't split music onto a physical fader? All the "stream PC audio" is bundled as a single channel with no way to separate say music from OBS alerts? Only option is to add those individually in OBS and manage their volume that way? I'm used to the GoXLR where you can separate apps onto faders
No, that’s not the only option. This video is the easy setup. You want the “not so easy” setup video 😉

THANKS fot the video bus i have a question. I put every thing like you but the main volume on obs i can not control with de rodcaster fader usb 1 group. the pc gamer for exemple i move the fader, on the obs the soind move like the fader but in stream pc no. i dont know.

@ashy941 yes. After ask you ,i found this video and its done. Now its ok. Thank you for everything.
Hi is there a way to use main mic as push to talk in this option.. same for discord..
@@KaiStreamz Of course. PTT in Discord or any other app don’t care what mic you use.
@ hey Thanks for reply, my question was if discord is in streaming rig and you need to use PTT from gaming rig, similarly if how to PTT the main mic from gaming rig
@ I don’t know how a PTT key on one computer can be sent to a completely different computer. What I’ve seen is streamers using a separate foot pedal for each computer that controls push to mute (Discord) and push to talk (Game).
I suppose if you wanted to mute the actual mic on the Rodecaster, just as if you pressed the mute button on the console, you MIGHT be able to do it with a MIDI command, which you MIGHT be able to implement with something like midikey2key, but I have not tried this.
Hello i don’t have loudness equalizer in my sound windows settings on my second pc (game - rodecaster pro 2 secondary) on Windows 11 but i have on Windows 10 thanks
Best video I have seen so far. I just bought mine, no disrespect all video seen so far is rubbish

Hey man, i followed all of your routing settings and for whatever reason im getting this unwanted echo, i’ve resettled my RCP2 and tried re-configuring the routing however when i get rid of the echo, i can no longer pick up any audio to OBS on my streaming PC
Is there a way to direct all the audio coming from either Gaming PC or Streaming PC into the Audio Output (Headphones secondary) instead of the Audio Input (Desktop Mic Secondary)? I have the settings set so that the Gaming PC is USB1 and Streaming PC is USB2 and I got the settings all down and all the audio seem to be working fine, it's just the matter of quality since it is coming through the mic as the input rather than headphones as output in Streamlabs OBS.
I believe the short answer is No. One is an input and the other is an output and you can’t change that.
@ashy941 because game audio is coming out through mic which is causing distortion or echo
@@OfficialFluchax I’m having trouble understanding your issue. In one message you say it’s fine except for quality and then you say it’s not fine because you’re getting echo. Plus you have it plugged in exactly the opposite of the video so there’s a lot for me to try and unpack here and try and help you. Best to join my Discord chat where you can show me screenshots and have a more interactive discussion. But I’m also traveling now through Saturday so I can’t be as responsive as I normally could be.
@@ashy941 okay I'll join your Discord, link?
I'll talk to you in vc once you're back and free
This is so helpful ❤️
Thought about getting one of these because I have a GoXLR that will eventually stop being supported. Just based off the video, wouldn't it be easier to flip your diagram? Meaning by using gaming PC as 1 instead of 2, only one audio track would be going into obs? At least that is what I currently do on my goxlr...I do a bit different though. I use discord on gaming PC and music on streaming PC.
It’s not any easier or harder, just different. Configure it however works best for you!
Hey! This video was fantastic, thanks for putting this together. I’m moving from my goXLR mini to the RCP2 and I had a question- I have discord on my gaming PC instead of my streaming pc. Could I still keep it that way with the RCP2?
@@aes210 Hey! Yes!
Your Discord chat will ride the same audio channels as your game audio/game chat
coming from a goxlr this seems like a step back. There's no way to separate game audio and game chat into separate outputs into the procaster pro 2 / assigning each it's own slider?
@@joshuaprice1535 You can 100% separate them. You’re watching one of several videos I’ve made and it’s the oldest and easiest possible configuration.
Check out the others and if you still need help separating game chat and audio, join my Discord.
It's a nice explanation, thank you.
awesome guide! ive had the procaster 2 pro for almost a year and havnt used it due to my inability to figure out the routing until this video, so thank you a ton! lol
quick question though, if using this on a single pc setup, on the usb1 routing, would we only leave usb1 on and turn off usb2? if we only want game audio sent through the usb audio, and all voice audio through the chat routing?
hi for some reason my mic on my gaming pc sounds dank and I am unsure how to fix it. I have the shuresm7b and when I use it on my streaming pc it sounds amazing but when i hear or talk in my gaming pc it sounds super dank and loud. Can anyone please help?
Great thank you so much for the video everything works flawlessly now my question is if I decide no to turn on my streaming PC will I still be able to talk to discord without them hearing my game
How you gonna talk on Discord if Discord is on your streaming PC as in the video and you don’t turn it on?
I have discord installed on both PC's but I wanted to know if it was possible to be able to talk on discord while playing a game without the discord party hearing my game thru their headset or is there just no way
@@rayted3553 Yes, absolutely. No reason anyone on Discord should ever hear your game.
Ok great thank also 1 last question if Ido live streaming is there way for me to talk to my viewers without party chat hearing me
@@rayted3553 You have options. You can use a foot pedal and assign it to Push to Mute button in Discord (simple) or you can put Discord on a fader on the Rodecaster and hit the mute button (less simple). Those are two options at least.
does anyone else have the issue that the gaming pc doesent regognize rodecaster as usb 2?
Hm i am a bit confused. to see discord on my Rode i need to use Discord Output Device to Microphone too... so i can separate my discord completly from the PC Sound and can change the volume with the fader of discord.. or is my thinking wrong?
This video is the simplest possible setup. I thinking you’ll be interested in something more advanced here:
ua-cam.com/video/rn1g6wxG1WM/v-deo.htmlsi=075jANBPOZf89ZzQ
There’s an app need to be on both PCs or just a streaming PC?
Just streaming pc
Epic man! THX!
This video is amazing thank you
Thank you so much for this very good video
@@madresults_952 I have other more detailed and newer videos as well!
Hi, question: How about using rodecaster pro2 to sent to process the mic with adobe audition then send back to rodecaster pro2 and final stream live to OBS or Sam broadcaster is possible to that? of course all that is live not recording, if it is possible can you make a video? I will appreciate really.
Thank you
Single PC?…definitely. Dual PC?…probably but a bit more involved with at least one analog connection.
Both possibilities assume that Audition can output to a specific computer sound device OR you use something like Voicemeter to do that.
Video?…not any time soon, sorry 😞
Finally set up
did i miss in here where you showed how to split music for the vod track?
No you didn’t miss it, it’s not in there. 😛
Check out my other videos for more complex configurations…this video is the simplest possible setup.
Very helpful!!
Thank you so much for the help
I have been waiting for this. I had to order an extra long usb c to c for my main to my stream pc. No longer do I have to set listen to elgato 4k60 pro. One other thing, can I use the usb 2 without my stream pc on, for when I don't want to stream?
Yes, stream PC doesn’t need to be on and you can still do everything else on the mixer and gaming PC.
I have a Duo that I plan to use with a single PC for podcasting and a USB condenser mic.
If the PC connects to USB1, I should then be able to use my condenser mic in USB2 without issue, correct?
@@1970JonHENRY If it’s a RODE USB Mic then I’d say yes.
If not, then I don’t know for sure but I don’t think it will work.
I’ve never tried any USB microphones so I’m just going off what is on RODE’s website.
Great guide. Thanks so much.
You are a life saver
What about the capture card set up ?
great video... for some reason i cant get my gaming pc sound to show in obs! i have usb2 turned on for usb1. i gotta be dumb

NDI is starting to become popular .. wish the rode caster comes with an update to add it like the Mackie Creator DLZ interface that has NDI two pc music streaming pc to pc .. Any thoughts?
Im using ndi aswell only issue i have is i don’t hear discourd audio if i put the source on chat
Can you dedicate discord for example to slider 2, and so on similar to how you can on the goxlr ? (example': streaming pc: slider 2 discord, sldier 3, system audio, gaming pc : game audio slider 4)
As a matter of fact, yes you can! ua-cam.com/video/rn1g6wxG1WM/v-deo.htmlsi=_Ig6DmXxJs7QwF6G
Fantastic video! Thank you! I am considering picking up a RoadCaster to replace my GoXLR. One question I had is you have music on a dedicated input on OBS, how are you achieving that since I thought it was being routed on the PCAudio / RodeCaster Main Stereo? Are you using a virtual audio cable solution? I currently have music separated from my stream PC audio with my GoXLR in OBS so that I can check out other UA-cam links or something without sending it to the stream before deciding if I'll play it on stream to make sure it's not inappropriate. Thank you again!
Check out my other videos for how to make the RCP2 work like the GoXLR
@@ashy941 Thanks! That answered my question perfectly! Sorry I missed you had another video.
How are you getting Discord and your Music to show as different levels/inputs on the RC Duo? Does it expose multiple devices to windows that you've set those softwares to send to?
They are different sources in OBS, not on the Rodecaster.
This is awesome. Thanks mate. I have the GoXLR mini and will be changing to the RodeCaster Duo soon. My question is can you have a setting/preset where I can utilize all my usual audio I/O's (mic, game, Discord, Spotify etc.) without having to be running both my pc's when I'm not streaming and without having to physically change connections? My room can get quite hot with 2 pcs and 2 monitors, so if I don't need to have both on to game off stream I would prefer that. If I just want to game with friends off stream, I don't need to have 2 pc's running to use Discord etc.? I can have Discord and Spotify on my gaming pc for off stream stuff and also on the Streaming PC when I'm running Dual setup and maybe have some sort of preset that I can change depending on how many PCs are active. Hope that makes sense haha!
Yes, the configuration is stored on the device and power comes from an outlet, not either of the PCs. And yes, you can save different “shows” with different configuration settings, but you need a little memory card and it doesn’t come with one.
Awesome, thank you@@ashy941
@ashy941 need help, the gaming pc audio is not routing at all to usb-1, i have the same settings as you showed us, having the exact same issue as @Nadeshot, even after powering off/on, downloading the ASIO drivers and doing the factory reset, its still not routing back to usb-1??
