Audio Issues: Dual PC setup with Elgato HD60X

[lobster]

I am setting up a dual PC setup by using the Elgato HD60X. As per the minimal instructions Elgato provides within the package, I have the capture card usb plugged into my streaming laptop, the HDMI input to my gaming PC, and some others said to have the HDMI output to my main monitor. My camera is plugged into my streaming PC (works). My headset + mic is the Arctis Pro + Game Dac (wired) and that is plugged into my gaming PC (didn't switch). Now, my issue is that OBS only recognizes audio coming from my gaming PC if the sound is set to the HD60X. Thus, I don't hear anything in my headset (gaming PC) nor does OBS pick up any voice from my headset.

I have been fixated on this problem for a few days now. Looking at youtube videos, reddit threads, and even sent tech support questions to Elgato and steel series. So, I am trying to hear my gaming PC audio through my headset, use my microphone to talk in-game, discord, xbox PC chat, all while capturing this audio through my Elgato HD60x to my streaming laptop.

Gaming PC is Windows 10 and Streaming Laptop is Windows 11. Streaming laptop is a gaming laptop that I use for travel and I decided to upgrade my single stream to a dual setup. Please let me know of anything useful.... My head hurts

Hello, Im sorry Im no real help but by the time stamp on this post, I seriously hope you had found a solution some time ago! Im writing to see if you did and if you dont mind, maybe provide a brief explanation. My situation isnt the same but there are similarities as my issue also resides in audio routing. Im using Voicemeeter and am having trouble with audio routing with the HD60X, so maybe your experience can shed some light light on my issue?

Thanks either way

I do hope that you found assistance elsewhere as no one here helped much huh!

Well i bought this captured card and run into same issues, i will tell you the fix, you need to mix your audio with elgato audio and send it to the main streaming pc, you have a few options.

1. Use a audio mixer depending on what mic you use to get the audio mix direct to your streaming pc
2. If you dont want to pay for a mixer, you can do what i did dowload voicemeter and mix the audio output of elgato with your headphones and mic

This is how i got it working after searching like 100 videos, i hope you can fix it .
