How to Setup Any ASTRO Headset with Elgato and PS5 (EASY)

[@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.

[@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! 😄

[@Svg_Hooligan]

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

[@VondaleF]

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

[@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

[@MagnusInitiative]

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

[@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?

[@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!

[@ImVention]

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

*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.

[@2-KRAZI]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@darkside-zd7iz]

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

[@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?

[@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?

[@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?

[@garnettslick1458]

Thank you for the tips brother 🙏🏼

[@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 ?

[@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?

[@TyriqAnderson]

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

[@fifty7cal]

Thank you so much for this, really helps out!

[@Khalil_Pheonix]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@slfm_ty2858]

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

[@siil3ntyt]

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

[@tiki_tock]

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

[@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

[@CJHoward3]

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

[@Darth_Mamba]

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

[@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

[@carlosrobertocarneiro]

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

[@JuandissimoTV]

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

[@TheNewGalaxyGaming]

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.

[@dekinho25]

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

[@gamespecx614]

Can Astro 20 works

[@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

[@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 :)

[@ninjabutlergaming1005]

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

[@Andpah]

very good video !! Which capture card can I record fortnite at 120Hz using PS5?

[@MidnightMan]

The internal 4K 60 pro capture card by elgsto.

[@Jimenez405]

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

[@ItsMoney22]

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

[@Javikawz]

Can you do a video on this with the new Astros that came out

[@KingProdigy]

Thanks for the help

[@WolfTheImmortal]

Can you show how to connect the a50 x with elgato and Xbox?

[@xHell_Spawnx]

This setup still good with the new 4K capture card? Looking at getting the new Astro 50 headset

[@lucasweigang]

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

[@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.

[@Kouki144k]

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

[@ahopgames]

Hi, I am starting my channel and looking for a good setup. I am probably going to buy the Elgato HD60S+. With the setup you presented to us, am I able to record the game sound but your voice is only going to be recorded if you have an usb micro right?

[@BattleStorm78]

Nice video. Will this work with any base station? Nova pro for example?

[@MidnightMan]

Nova pros work a little differently, see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3mZqpWLqryMmZIsi=VWasfx2TUMGPjHkt

[@eduvivan2562]

Sorry for the lateness! Great video by the way But i do own a chat link, can i capture the audio just by plugging it to the astro mix amp?

[@2-KRAZI]

Sound kool, will i still hear all my audio through my headphone as well. Been trying to figure this out for days. I stream on tiktok live studio, will there be any difference?

[@oiTrin]

Have you got the tiktok live studio figured out?

[@2-KRAZI]

@@oiTrin do you have any idea?

[@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

[@glocc9ninedummy297]

been wathcing all of your videos today researching this, can i use this method with the elgato x?

[@og_bl6ckgaming602]

Do you have any good presets for the A50’s and games like Warzone. I feel like the game is to loud and can’t hear any footsteps. Last thing I wanna do is get rid of these expensive headphones

[@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

[@TheMattMan98]

I did everything you said but the ps5 is not recognizing the Astro headphones as microphone device it only says controller. Is there a splitter I have to use or what? Also I’m using an Avermedia 2 Live Gamercap card . Is there a video like this for the Astro A40 TR with mixamp?

[@fenderguy]

Same setup here. Just not having any luck. A50 into the Astro HDMI adapter, then out to the Elgato HD60S+, then to my monitor. Everything hooked up as instructed, but through OBS the game audio is just a loud feedback crap sound. Then through Elgato's Game Capture Hardware, I get no game sound whatsoever. Frustrating. Could it be the M1 Macbook Pro I'm using? Help???

[@MidnightMan]

According to elgato and from my tests, the elgato software has issues running on M1 Mac, but you should be able to record normal in OBS at least.

[@fenderguy]

@@MidnightMan Yeah, so the Game Capture software is a no go. But after trying everything, i changed the audio format to Linear PCM and now am able to use OBS. Weird, but all is good for now. Thanks

[@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!!!

[@TdVisuals19]

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

[@htx.v3]

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

[@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

[@adr1224]

I just bought the hdmi adapter and I am now wondering will I be able to use my a50s to listen to my computer at the same time or no?

[@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?

[@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.

[@jilly_kk]

didnt work for me 😥 no HDMI device (TV) setting for me for some reason and my game audio does not come through my elgato. i dont know what to do now because nothing has worked and i haven't been able to stream with game audio since October.

[@ItsOmare_]

Returning my nova pro wireless rn

[@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?

[@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.

[@iNefarious]

So when you have chat audio going to your headset I’m assuming you can’t hear game audio? That’s something that I really didn’t like with other headphones.

[@colbstercolbs]

Does the Astro adapter work for Xbox also? Does this set up work with Xbox? I have series X and Elgsto hd60 X and can’t get anything working

[@mrMontoyaev]

Great video can you make a video like this for Xbox series x please

[@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?

[@Zinqzz]

How about when it comes to streaming and listening to the game and any notifications when streaming, does it still work or how do I connect them both

[@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

[@joshtheevilgenius6116]

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

Hey so I have got everything working & hooked up. But I am trying to stream through TikTok live studio. Do you know if this will work ??

[@littlebro6053]

Midnightman do you plan to make another setup video? Because your setup looks cool

[@MidnightMan]

Yes, coming up this spring as it will be 1 year since my last setup tour.

[@og_bl6ckgaming602]

Hey man if you have the Astro a40’s can you do the same video. For some reason I’m still not getting any game play audio, just audio from my Mac book microphone. I followed each step and hooked up everything just as you said. I’m getting nothing but a silent stream.

[@IAMCJ1k]

Can you do the a50x ?

[@feell1kep4blo40]

Just found this video and the only issue I am running into is how to get my microphone/ voice chat being recorded. Everyone who I am playing with will have their audio recorded but mine will not. This specifically happens when I am in voice or party chat.

[@iNefarious]

have you checked to have your voice being recorded in party chats?

[@feell1kep4blo40]

@@iNefarious Yeah I had that on. I'm thinking that it might just be the el gato

[@darkcoyote8230]

I had my set up without plugging HDMIs into the adapter, and I got my PS5 to stream, just that it wouldnt capture my voice, so I had to use PC software for capture. I tried your setup, and it seems plugging in the HDMI in to the adapter has now had me lose video altogether. what went wrong?

[@MozNugz]

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

[@joaopedrocaldini2528]

Hi, I was able to get the A50 working on my stream but the audio on my A50 is extremely low, I have already checked the volume and turned everything to high... Do you know how im able to fix that?

[@verronti]

hey did you find a fix for this yet?

[@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

[@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

[@IrvinTimeBW]

So, I found a solution for the headphones not charging while the ps5 is in rest mode. It uses a usb splitter. Will that cause any issues with the setup though?

[@jazibathar]

Hey mate I've got absolutely no sound coming from my headphones i followed everything to the tee. I used the second method as well but as soon as i click chat audio sound disappears from my headset

[@ChrisRise]

any fix for this yet ?

[@NathanStephenson1]

Great Video man! I love the way you explain things, Just one question though can i use this setup in the video but have the elgato 4k hd60 pro??

[@iceemttv5231]

did you ever find out

[@BlakeMcCracken3]

HELP! I just got my Astro hdmi converter for Christmas. I cannot seem to figure out how to set it up for my stream. I have a PS5, El Gato HD60 Pro installed in my one PC. I am running dual monitors! (Only one PC as mentioned) I have Astro A20s. My pc is an HP Omen 870-224.

[@kingdommindz]

Good stuff 👍 But the issue Im still running into is that this doesn't allow for 4k 160hz passthrough.

[@MidnightMan]

No capture cards support that yet

[@kingdommindz]

@@MidnightMan sorry I meant 4k 120hz. The new elgato does but Astro doesn’t sell an audio extractor that does. Found some third part tho so probably going to go that route

[@jordn787]

Can i use elgato chat link with astros A50 and rode streamer x? Cause i just saw that the hdmi adapter doesnt support 120hz

You can get voice chat and game audio from ps5 with the elgato 4k60 pro mk2 in my pc using that adapter? No chat link pro?!
