EASY Dual PC Streaming Set Up With Go XLR / Mini!

[@0xDeadEye]

This is by far the best video explanation I’ve seen thus far. Bravo!! I’ve had my GoXLR plugged into my gaming PC for a couple years now and could not figure out now to reverse it. Thank you for making this!!

[@zenbyo]

Thank god. Most videos i saw had people plugging the Go XLR plugged into the gaming system itself and then routing back to the streaming pc. to me you lose more control this way so i'm glad to see this. I thought i was taking crazy pills with my setup :)

[@P1xelPerfect]

Most people want to put emphasis on the gaming pc first and not the machine thats literally generating the content haha

@@P1xelPerfect One question: I'm using an Elgato capture card as well. Is any audio supposed to be going through the capture card channel in my streaming software (SLOBS)? The video goes through fine, and all of the audio is routing perfectly via the GOXLR (thank you again), so I realize this is probably an obvious answer, but I just want to quadruple-check that the capture card channel is NOT supposed to be registering any audio. (I tried to search "GOXLR and Elgato Capture Card" on your channel but didn't find anything that specific. Which is probably a "me" issue because my brain is fried after 3 days of working on this.)

[@P1xelPerfect]

@@MoreThanAMia correct! If you are using the digital optical method i showed in this video then no audio will pass through the capture card as its getting routed directly into the go xlr.

[@iDrkTV]

I am replacing a dual PC stream setup that I was using with Voicemeeter doing all the mixer work.. However, here, I see that you still have voicemeeter on your PC, even actively using it (12:10).. So, I'm wondering what you're using Voicemeeter for, and what it is needed for after having such a setup at this one? I guess I should keep it around for when I run into whatever I run into that requires you to keep it on your setup? 🤔

[@P1xelPerfect]

No im just lazy and didnt uninstall it lmao i had it set to auto start on windows boot and so it was just running in the background. I tend to not uninstall programs unless they are causing issues

[@iDrkTV]

@@P1xelPerfect Ooh, gotcha, haha. Okay, then! Thanks for the reply! I'm going to attempt this next Sunday, as I forgot to buy an optical cable... x_x wish me luck. I always have audio trouble, and for 2 years struggled until I finally got everything running smooth. But wanting a new mic, this was my path.. I'm going to follow your tutorial!

[@iDrkTV]

@@P1xelPerfect just realized with this setup, I would need the streaming PC on at all times.. which is not the best option, because I’m not recording or streaming every time I’m on my PC.. is there a couple changes anywhere I can make that would allow things to run off the game PC, instead? So when not streaming, but I still am on my gaming PC, I can still hear and use my headphones and mic and stuff without my streaming PC needing to be on?

[@lordfixit]

Hello, Excellent and very clear explanation for beginners with 2pc setup and goxlr. I have the same setup and it works very well. Now, how should I do to enable ducking with goxlr, I couldn't find a way. Any suggestions?

[@xthesiccnessx6593]

How do you setup the audio for obs?

[@the_mind_killer]

This video is old, but I'm giving this a shot. I recently ran into some audio issues with my dual streaming setup and decided to restart and reconfigure and used this video as a template for the new routing. It got rid of the problems I was having, but my problem is now I can't stream to TikTok Live because its broadcasting software, which is independent of OBS, doesn't have Broadcast Stream Mix as an available audio source. Just wondering if there's an easy fix for this I haven't considered or if I'm going to need to re-route again.

[@P1xelPerfect]

So it’s been a minute since I used TT Studio, but from what I recall its main audio source pulls from the pc system desktop audio. Feel free to hop into discord and we can chat it up! This is something I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while

[@threepointertv]

Bro you say plug into line in which should be blue then you plug into both blue and pink and show both blue and pick pictures so which did you mean? Line in Blue or Mic in Pink?

[@InputZB]

i just got another pc for dual streaming and use a wiresless headset, do i need a new headset?

[@Slider-Man]

or to make it more simple to ask, how would i throw in using speakers also if i wanted into this setup and still be able to have obs record the sound?

Great Video dude! How would you add a PS5 (or any console) to this setup?? and fluidly switch out between 'gaming' sources, ie pc, switch, ps5 etc! Cheers!

Are there any other mixer alternatives that would work with this set up?

[@michael1891ful]

I have a mixer tuner astro a40 I do not know what to plug in where!! Wish you went over that haha.

[@DEVILSHOUNDx]

Hello, I use the a40's and mixamp with the mini goxlr with 2 pc's. I use the aux port on monitor into line in on goxlr, then a 2nd aux cable and go from back of mixamp into front headphone jack of goxlr. Assign the correct input to mixing table and you can now use the mixamp and faders for volume.

where does the ground loop isolater go?

[@mizzlecarabizzle142]

Question where would you have your mic hooked up to the streaming pc or gaming?

[@TrickmasteH]

Love this guide. Setup my system very fast. Now I do have a question, I want to separate my game audio from the go xlr mini system audio. I have a 4k elfato capture card was hoping I could send the audio directly through that so the game sounds are only on that line, how would I set this up? For some reason I can't get the audio to go through on the capture card with the goxlr.

[@BLiNKBTW]

Curious why not connect the goxlr to the gaming pc using the aux cable with a ground loop dohicky and same way to the streaming pc? Thanks for the video

[@P1xelPerfect]

Because the go xlr software has a dedicated audio output specific for streaming softwares like obs. So when you put it on the gaming pc you are essentially losing an entire output (the usb)

[@BLiNKBTW]

@@P1xelPerfect So ,If I'm not planning on streaming , just want to game on 1 monitor but use spotify and discord running on a separate pc (streampc) and connect 2 monitors to the (streampc) and just use the goxlr mini to be able to hear discord, and spotify while im gaming on my (gamingpc) would work fine? In other words I don't need to use a capture card if im not planning on streaming or using OBS? (gamingpc) 1 monitor for gaming running only the game. (streampc) 2 monitors running spotify, chrome, discord. So basically I can just run the goxlr mini to combine the sound right, and skip the whole capture card setup?

[@YTD33]

So weird I can not get my gaming audio to go into OBS. It’s going into the hockey though cause I hear it through the speaker connected to the goxlr but I’ve been working on this for 4 hours I can’t figure it out

Only if voice mod is going out from the go xlr software. Its kind of an order of operations thing, if your mic is going GoXLR>VoiceMod>stream/game pc then no, bc voicemod with be after the output of the xlrs routing. But if its VoiceMod>GoXLR>Stream/Game pc then yes, bc all the voice effects will happen before the go xlr routes the output of the mic.

[@YTD33]

If you have a video on that just take me

[@P1xelPerfect]

PS5 (or any hdmi console) will either need to be audio captured via the capture card and then played back via OBS audio monitoring (video capture device properties at the bottom, wave out or direct out whichever sounds better to you), OR you can do the optical port from the ps5 to the go xlr. But if you have more than one device that supports the optical port, you will need something like an optical matrix that takes in multiple sources and outputs one, like a switch.
