Question / Help 2 PC stream - Audio help in OBS

[RendhammerTV]

Hey there,

I've recently upgraded to a 2 PC stream setup and I'm having a hell of a time trying to get audio to work correctly in OBS from my mixer. I'm using a Behringer Xenyx Q502 USB. The mixer is connected to my stream PC with USB, and the mixer is selected as my sound source within Windows. In OBS, the mic and desktop audio device are selected as the Behringer Mixer.

I got my AT 2035 XLR mic, connected to my mixer, to work just fine in OBS. However, I'm having a huge issue getting my desktop audio from the GAMING PC to carry over to OBS from the mixer. I have my game PC connected directly to the mixer from the sound card with a mini to stereo 1/4. In OBS, the game audio from my game PC is outputting in the microphone audio channel, and nothing is being transmitted to the desktop audio levels.

I thought it may just be a visual bug so I ran a test with my mic and music playing from my game PC. Playing the file back was a horrible sound of mixed music and interference. Something is happening that is combining both the mic and the desktop audio into one channel to OBS, but I cannot find out how to stop it.

I've been troubleshooting this issue all day, I need a lot of help.

Post a logfile from a streaming session, and if possible a link to a VOD demonstrating the current issue.

Be aware that in its default configuration, OBS can only use INPUT audio sources on the Mic channel, and OUTPUT (eg: speaker) audio devices for the Desktop channel. All audio coming from your mixer will come in over one channel only; OBS only sees one device, and cannot 'split' your mic audio and game audio from what the mixer provides.
