[@TheDisposedHero]

Yes sir! Thank you so much! I've been trying to find a "how to" video on this that actually works for me, and this is the only step-by-step video that actually solved my problem. Much love

[@francis3405]

Will this setup include audio from PC? I'm currently trynig to wrap my head around it right now. I don't think it can?

[@KingSheezy98]

Out of all the videos I watched about setting up all the equipment you had the BEST explanation and actually showed how it was supposed to be linked up appreciate you bro

[@MidnightMan]

Glad I could help!

[@MidnightMan]

Hoping this guide is able to help those of you looking to record/stream using Astros and Elgato. Hit me up if you have any question!

[@henrywong180]

So without this adapter,you can’t just use the hdmi wire for audio?

[@blueboy199218]

I can’t still listen to my audio 😩😩

[@AmbxguosXXV]

@@blueboy199218 I'm having the same problem. I have audio but not chat audio

[@iTzRiddLe]

@@AmbxguosXXV did u manage to fix this issue?

[@AmbxguosXXV]

@@iTzRiddLe I was never able to get chat audio because the A50 do not come with a stream port. When you go to the ASTRO Command Center you don't have access to a stream port which is what you would use to adjust the chat audio for the stream to hear the party chat. I didn't know the A50 didn't come with a stream port was trying to go wireless. Luckily I still have the A40s with the mixamp. That's the best way to go for streaming at least with OBS. I think you should be good if you are just streaming off playstation as well though. Hopes this helps a bit.

[@Svg_Hooligan]

Both your videos on A50 setting up were super helpful and easy. Thanks!

[@NA-ls7hy]

This is the video I’ve been looking for, for so long! Bought my A50’s months ago but time and time again failed to find a video to help. Spent money on extras which didn’t work so I gave up, but you man, you’ve helped out so much!

[@MidnightMan]

Glad I could help get you going! 😄

[@GamersHeroes]

Gave up trying to do this months ago, friend showed me this today, you're a star. Cheers fella :D

[@USBash2]

I dont have the os5 but watching your videos helped get my setup going on my ps4 and im just here for support lol awesome videos

[@MidnightMan]

Much appreciated! Your support helps others who are trying to get their setup working too! Thanks

[@gameh3ad456]

when i go to my audio format my Dolby does not say bitstream it only says Dolby is that fine ?? or the same as ?

[@MagnusInitiative]

Thanks. Vid is awesome. Just bought astros, and the adapter. Going to try this setup out!

[@V3ntion]

This helped me out so much! God bless, man 🙏

[@GunToYoMouth]

I'm trying to set it up and on the 4k capture app I have audio input set up through HDMI audio and on the bottom right corner it shows the bars raised high like audio is loud. And when I stream the gameplay sound is a static sound. Any fix? I followed your instructions

[@TheRealDuanebs]

I'm looking to use 1 mic for both game chat and stream commentary. Seems like the chat link cable would be the way to go over doing all of this and still having to have 2 mics..

[@mrtoofresh4695]

You figure out how to do this?

[@jangel0428]

Hey midnight man thanks for your help man just got these babies awesome headsets couldnt do the whole wires cables chat link etc. Glad im wireless now sucks is a struggle with the ps 5. Great video I had issues with getting the sound out of the capture card but totally forgot I still had it on the old setup analog audio lol thanks dude love your videos

[@carlosrobertocarneiro]

Muito Bom! Uso também elgato hd60s! Obrigado por compartilhar! Faz um Vídeo da configuração do OBS também com elgato!

[@CJHoward3]

can you make one for xbox? trying to get this done asap so gamechat/discord etc can play through stream.

[@examples6712]

Literally, this was perfect. About to pick up that adapter asap.

[@iNefarious]

Are you able to hear game audio going to your headset as well if you have game chat audio selected?

[@VondaleF]

crazy this really is like the only video about this especially with the party not hearing the player

[@AsylumProductionTV]

I just followed your instructions and it works perfectly. Thank you so much! I did notice that 3D audio is not selectable and grayed out. Is that normal? When I had the headset connected to the system by itself, I was able to turn on and off 3D audio. Now that the headset is connected to my capture card, it’s not selectable.

[@Just_Biscuit_Gaming]

Midnight Man, I feel like you or SOMEONE in the comments are the only ones that can answer this question: How do i use this mixamp to hear BOTH PS5 game audio and music from my PC while streaming at the same time?

[@JuandissimoTV]

And this will allow me to capture gameplay and chat audio? Also will the commentary mic not interfere with the chat audio?

[@2-KRAZI]

This video is a life saver...🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks bro. Explanation was on point

[@OfficialNugzzCrew]

this is almost perfect, i just need to add PC sound to the astro A50 with this at the same time.. is there a way we can have both game/party sound & pc sounds come to the A50's then have all that go to capture card somehow?

[@AlejandroDonado504]

I am pretty stuck because I cant get my party chat audio to come out in my OBS software. so on my PS5 I can hear my friends clearly and they can hear me but our voices dont sound on obs on twitch when im streaming. can you please help!

[@fifty7cal]

Thank you so much for this, really helps out!

[@alanrichardson6561]

*How to save $200 Live streaming gameplay on the PS5 to KZbin or Twitch:* *All you need is a PS5, PS5 camera, any gaming headphones with a mic and the Dualsense's share button.* Now that's what I call consumer friendly, value and quality! *The PS5 camera is Full HD that's allows you to personalize your gameplay sharing. It has a adjustable stand, 1080p capture, picture-in-picture boardcasting, background removal tools and it also let's you polish you productions.* The PS5 is really it's own capture card.

[@xhotice]

Yes this does work, the problem is you won't be able to hear alerts from stream and I couldn't figure it out. I'm thinking I need a chat link cable.

[@MidnightMan]

Chat link cable won’t fix not hearing alerts either, and that’s for wired headsets only. To hear alerts you need to listen to your audio from the computer, not from the PS5

[@xhotice]

@@MidnightMan yeah so two different headsets or maybe I try earbuds on the PC input. Ty

[@TdVisuals19]

Hi can you please help me I have a ps5, capture card, astro headset, Mac desktop plssss

[@skylarkent.d5247]

Yo you made the video awesome thanks homie!! Most helpful videos out of any I watch for sure keep up the great content man!

[@Oshelaka]

I'm still having issues. I have everything setup correct but does it matter if i'm still trying to have PC audio with the same Astro headset? I'm using Voicemeeter Banana to split my discord/desktop/spotify audio and don't know if that's what is causing the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm even willing to hop in a voice call in discord if you have any advice or suggestions. I have game audio coming through the headset but for some reason, on the elgato game capture software, the audio isn't being picked up.

[@ZaeGoated]

same

[@darkside-zd7iz]

Big help my guy saved me a ton of trouble and money

[@smokethatgameb9937]

I use Turtle beach elite pro headset which has a hub mix amp. Which I just bought a Monoprice Blackbird 4K HDMI Audio Extractor hdmi adaptor and it works prefect with my elgato and stream :)

[@garnettslick1458]

Thank you for the tips brother 🙏🏼

[@RaccoonClan]

So my setup works but the audio cuts in and out from time to time. I set it up the exact same way you did and even got a replacement headset from Astro. Any tips?

[@Benz-rz7bo]

You sir are sent from Kratos! Thanks for the video as it saved my ass 24 hours too getting my ps5 and not thinking about some audio input/outputs and OBS fuckery. Thanks main.

[@PrimalExecute]

When switching from USB Headset (Astro A50) to HDMI Device (TV) it makes the party chat sound more echo-ey on my headset. Sounds fine within the stream but doesn't sound as crisp and clean as the normal USB Headset selection. Is there a way to fix this?

[@ctrl_alt_del100]

You using the Astro hdmi splitter or third party one I didn’t listen and got a cheap third party one and I had same prob but switched to the Astro one and it stoped so maybe it’s that

[@Darth_Mamba]

do you have a video on how to connect game audio with the A50x to xbox

[@KingProdigy]

Thanks for the help

[@slfm_ty2858]

i plugged everything in but my audio isn’t showing on my gamw

[@MMA0713]

Don’t know if you will respond to this or not, but I used this video to help me set up my elgato with my astros and ps5. Changed all the right settings as well. My issue is that my stream has no audio aside from me talking. They can’t hear the game or any one in my party chat. Do you know how to fix this?

[@tiki_tock]

Great video… you should test this on your Xbox. I can’t find any answers or videos.

[@Jimenez405]

Thank you so much I was about to buy a different kind of headsets

[@byronsanchez1113]

I had an issue where everything is set up correctly. The elgato software on pc was detecting my hd60s but it said no signal and nothing was popping up on my TV and pc. To fix this I had to go into the ps5 resolution and change it to 1080p and that worked for me. It was frustrating

[@zmansavage4877]

Thanks for the amazing video i did everything step by step but my monitor is not picking up my Playstation 5 gameplay on the screen what do i do

[@JerryJeezYT]

turn of "enable hdcp" in the playstation settings

[@AlienTJA]

Damn, I ordered my Astro PS5 adapter assuming it would come with a optical cable :(.. Great video, very in depth description

[@joshtheevilgenius6116]

Can you make the game audio come out of the headset louder?

[@arturosenpai]

When mentioned needing 2 mics for this method to work-Can one of those mics be the ones built in the A50s or two separate mics like a 2x Blue Yeti’s for example.

[@MidnightMan]

One mic is the astro, the other is something like the yeti plugged into computer for commentary

[@zombieyoshi82]

I have the HDMI for the PS5 but I'm still not getting any audio from any of my party chats in my streams

[@donnygomez4547]

quick question does it mater if i get the adapter for xbox?

[@ninjabutlergaming1005]

Hey legend ! Your videos have been my saviour ! Just a query, is there any sound/visual delay using all these adapters ? Cheers !

[@oReallyBenny]

Set up the mixamp just like you said….I hear the audio on my ps5 but not on my pc….Then I tried plugging the usb for the mixamp dock directly into my pc and heard both audios but the party chat audio came through my controller…. I’m super confused

[@miguelmercado6218]

Can I still use an xlr microphone from my pc so my microphone on stream sounds better?

[@Dtwmoe]

So am here my in game volume through my Astro a50? Like for fps game (hearing footsteps)

[@siil3ntyt]

Nice & easy set up ! Do you know if this works with the new Elgato ? HD x ?

[@Kouki144k]

followed your steps perfectly but obs isn’t showing any elgato options to show my ps5 screen, what could i be doing wrong ?

[@DarkMagician94]

But how do you hear game audio through your headset

[@tornadotron674]

How can we do this for the new Astro A50X, please?!

[@1chupamirto]

It was exactly what I was looking for Thank you so much bro! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 But I have a questions It works only with the PS5 I want to use it on mi PS4 Slim

[@mudvirusx]

Do you have a vid/method on connecting a turtle beach headset [stealth 700: USB or elite pro 2: wire with mix Amp] with to the PS5, and El Gatp HD60S+?

[@TattedTy]

I did everything exactly and everything works but now my party says they can hear everything I hear like my game audio and they can hear themselves.

[@puresnowrunner]

Hello sir .. when I switch it to HDMI device for the output ... I don't get any sound through the astro a 40's ... any suggestions ?

[@yojaysal661]

great vid my guy really detailed and easy, just one question I got my boy, can I use an Avermedia Live ultra cap card with the Astro hdmi adapter and still get party and game audio? Or I still have to use the elgato?

[@MidnightMan]

You can use the avermedia card too, just set it up like you would the elgato.

[@KielShot-]

Chaining the elgato with the Astro adapter has given noticeable input lag and makes it almost impossible to play competitive fps games unfortunately

[@kay_sins]

Do you know how to stay in a discord channel and be able to still hear people in game chat too? The command center app for Astro can only be used in PC mode so idk how they expect us to adjust sounds while play?? Are the A40s with mixamp a better option?

[@emiliormz3996]

My man do you know how to connect the astro a50 and the blue yeti at the same time?!! I need help pleaseeeee

[@MidnightMan]

Blue yeti you connect to computer, astros you setup like I showed in this video.

[@bonesmk4301]

1. Thx for the video it helped a lot, but my question is, do i really need a extra microphone to stream? isn´t the mic from the astro a50 enought, to stream and talk ingame?

[@theoneandonlybreadwhatson2512]

I am having trouble with this I need assistance for some odd reason I can change the output from all audio to chat only it’s werid

[@tonimincey7789]

Do you have a way to do this with the steelseries artic nova pro?

[@beastbadboy25]

Would you be able to make an updated video with the new Astro a50 x coming out this week?

[@MidnightMan]

If i'm not mistaken, I believe the setup process is the same. If there are significant differences I'll make a new video

[@iHeartMJ14]

is there a way to hear pc sounds at the same time?

[@hakonhaugen7009]

Could you then use a «third» usb microphone plugged into the ps5 if you think the astros mich is bad for the in game chat mic, or does that destroy the setup?

[@guzohamisi]

Using the A50X and the moment I switch it on,the audio stops going to the laptop. Any fix?

[@Bennythecameraman]

I did this but I can’t hear the sound out of my headphones as well

[@al3xaromendoza758]

Can you do a video but with the A40 with mix amp i just bought mine

[@ayyeblue]

I did everything like in the video, once I change the output device to HDMI (TV) I can hear anything in my headphones but all the audio is picked up on my OBS (Need help!!!)

[@tdothussle]

can you show us how to use this with our streamlabs? my sound on elgato wont work

[@MozNugz]

how are you connecting this setup to a mac for OBS use?

[@ovchiiee]

can you connect the wavelink xlr with this set up?

[@Zinqzz]

Hopefully someone can answer this. But is their a way to listen to stream and hear pc and also ps5?? Does the is method work?

[@BmoreRavens130]

my sound audio is not working after switching to tv cant hear the sound Im using the elgato 4k capture card

[@ryanramirez5305]

Im having problems with my monitor splitting when i start up call of duty but on my stream its perfect what could be causing that problem?

[@franciscourquijo9160]

would this work with the rybozen 4k capture card in your other videos??

[@ibetweakn]

I have connected everything correctly. I have changed the audio settings to what you suggested and I STILL DONT HAVE SOUND! I have visuals(video) in OBS but Elgato source is not capturing the sound! PLEASE HELP! Haven't been able to stream bc I can't figure it out.

[@jonathanskarie8536]

Now I'm trying to use camo studio on the iPad to stream twitch, with the new Astro A50 X it uses purely HDMI, Will the capture card pick up Game audio, chat audio and my mic audio? It would be amazing if you can make a video with the new Astro A50 X!!!

[@ItsMoney22]

Question? If you use two mics dont you get feedback because your voice is on party chat and commentary mic>?

[@dekinho25]

Thanks bro you are the best you helped me very much! Greetings from Germany !

[@gamespecx614]

Can Astro 20 works

[@Khalil_Pheonix]

Saving for later. Do you think these steps will work for xbox one X as well

[@chaoskrysp]

Perhaps I'll get a response this go around... 1. On PS5 in audio output, the headphones output is greyed out. Therefore, I am unable to change from all audio to chat audio. Does this affect next steps? The issue I am having is that my AVerMedia capture card is picking up as a a video output, but it is not populating as an audio source, even when I go into OBS > settings > audio and attempt to change one of the audio devices. It does not pop up as an option to choose when it comes to audio. Can somebody tell me what I am missing?

[@jhonatansosa]

mine won't work. im using the new hd60x but I can't get the sound on the twitch stream? the game play you can hear but not the chat. I even have extra mic Elgato wave 3 on the computer for chat still won't work?

[@MashPlays]

I’m still getting a back screen on the elgato, any tips ?

[@DerApotheker1]

I can not adjust the audio balance like in your video, is there a fix?

[@V4LOROUS_Official]

Are there any feature limitations to using the HDMI adapter? Such as compromised refresh rate or anything?

[@Kbthahustla]

How do i get my a50s to stop echoing with this set up? I need some help..

[@ianstocking4890]

just wondering if this works similarly on ps4?

[@brynebruce]

How do I set this up wireless headphones that just uses a USB receiver?

[@antoniodewalt5721]

After setting up the A50’s, how will I set up the second mic for commentary you mentioned at the end of the video?

[@lucasweigang]

Great Video! I've got one question. Will the party chat be recorded by the capture card?

[@Hendrix259]

So will this let you record your PlayStation party audio to or just the game audio???

[@htx.v3]

Got this all set up and now my capture card not able to get any of the ps5 footage please whelp

[@RedRidder]

hello I want to know how I can continue to hear and talk with my friends on play so in the audio part without hearing my friends on the stream thank you in advance any help and welcome (I use the astro a40 with mixer)

[@mrwho7066]

Thanks man great tip helped a lot

[@MidnightMan]

Glad it helped
