Question / Help Audio and 2 PC Setup!

[fergie1815]

Can anyone please help me with this issue. I have a 2 PC set up but for the life of me I can't get the game audio to carry over to the 2nd PC in OBS Studio.

Gaming PC -
Capture Card - Elgato HD60S (connected via HDMI to IN via NVIDIA GTX 1080TI GPU)
Windows 10

Streaming PC -
Capture Card - Elgato HD60S (connected to USB connections)
Focusrite Scarlett Solo (connected via usb) with AT2035 mic
Headset is picking up audio through monitor output in Focusrite
OBS Studio 22.0.2 (64 bit Windows_
Windows 10

At present I have my gaming PC video output showing on the streaming PC and have the mic input with no issues.

The issue I have is that I cannot get my desktop sound from the gaming PC to carry across to the Streaming PC. I have tried Voicemeeter Banana etc but can't seem to get anything to work as per the set-up below.

In OBS on the streaming PC the only devices available for 'Audio Input Capture' are:

- Default
- Focusrite USB
- Internal Microphone
- Line (Elgato Sound Capture)
- Microphone (C922 Webcam)

I have tried the Elgato Sound Capture setting but nothing comes through

I am really lost and frustrated and would really appreciate any help.

Its your Line (Elgato Sound Capture) for sure because thats the only hardware connected to your game pc.
Is the Elgato Sound Capture popping up in the Mixer of OBS? ( on your streaming pc )
If so click on the wheel and select properties and choose the one your using to hear your ingame sounds.

If not then you should re-install your Elgato Sound Capture drivers.

Thank you. I managed to get the sound coming across to my streaming PC. The only odd issue I now have is that after 5 mins or so the input from the Elgato HD60 S seems to freeze so the video stops updating and the sound stops. If I close and re-open OBS it works fine.

Anyone any ideas as to the cause and potential solution?

I don't know what the couse of this problem is.
OBS crashes are also out of my league.
