Hello Guys!
backstory:
i'm a relatively satisifed 5820k @ 4.5ghz Asus X99-S / 16gb / GTX780 user that has my old FX-8370E / ga-970a-ud3p / 8gb (handles 4.7ghz on air) cpu still laying around... (only a Geforce gt520 1gb gpu)
but ... a single pc is still troublesome - i just cant get my 60fps streams smooth enough on tough games because i prefer using cpu preset "medium" and game capture just isnt smooth enough for 60fps streaming on many titles, or the game fps dips too far below 60 in places ... time to put these two pc's together! - im a bit keen on streaming 864p60medium if i like the image but the AMD is really stretching its legs on that (i can use the intel for encode too, cause this setting on it is a total breeze - just would feel a bit awkward this way)
- i am an hour or two away from putting in the order for the capture card,
but the more i read about OBS video source still not being smooth, people using things liek amarec etc.
audio complications are a bit of a drag... i'm having some last minute doubts wether im really investing smart now,
is there someone that can give me a real idea wether it will be a stress free experience or i will still end up with a burning head in the end to get a smooth 60fps stream?
also how's the audio quality when put via DVI/hdmi? (my hdmi input monitor has a headphone socket / confirmed that it works with a DVI-to-HDMI cable from graphics card) however theres massive distortion on louder volumes (monitos vol adjustment side / i can input max windows volume and reduce it in monitor settings to remove the distortion), i presume that's the monitor's poor audio solution, i could live with this temporarily until i come up with a better solution.
or i can just use my soundcard and then use "what u hear" to listen to it and output to DVI/hdmi - but there is a delay - is the delay always constant so i can just sync it up in the encode pc's OBS?
i have a soundblaster omni 5.1 USB soundcard but sadly it doesnt allow to output to two outputs at the same time (headphone + optical for instance / and the earlier X-Fi surround 5.1 pro card i once had ACTUALLY DID! go figure...
and they don't have a digital line-in either ... so both my motherboards and this card all have a single optical out but no in's,
no coax either ...
but i guess optical/coax "-IN" can be added with a small add-in card that plugs to the spdif-I connector on motherboard?
havent tried wether the Asus X99-S crystal sound does allow simultaneous digital/headphone output ... im sure i could use that for some time if it does and i could find a digital input audio option in the 2nd pc...
at some point i am thinking about a mixer and better mic cause im using at2020usb+ and its not the greatest solution, so at that point the whole audio setup might get overhauled again so im not sure what to do here...
are there some relatively inexpensive devices that can add optical audio to hdmi? do these splitters/mixers cause any hdmi delay?
