Question / Help Help with 2 PC setup (audio)

[Kenneth Christensen]

Hey guys.

I have tried for some time now to solve this my self, but here goes:

I have 2 PCs and a Avermedia U3 capture card. All the video works fine, and i can (via stereo mix) get game sound ect just fine to OBS.

What i need help with is; I want to setup some notifications when ppl follow or donate, but since the streaming PC takes the audio from my capture card (from stereo mix), i need to figure out how to get the audio on the notifications on both my gaming PC (so i can hear them my self), and get them to play on stream.

I have also looked into getting a mixer, but my AT2020+ is a USB studio mic, is there any cheapish mixers that can handle that, and is the audio/mixer thing easy enough to setup?

Hope some of you guys know what to do.

Bump. I only need to get notification sounds on my streaming PC, everything else is transfered via the capture card. Any ideas?

Hmm, the mixer will probably be a possible solution. You could then get sound from both PC's to your headset for example. But you will not be able to connect a USB mic to it, as far as I know.
In general you might just wanna setup the notification on both PC's, but mute the sound on your streaming PC. That way it should pickup the sound when you hear it on the gaming PC and show the notification on stream on the streaming PC.

Ah yeah that could be the solution.

I got the AT2020+ USB, and should ofc have gotten a normal one with a mixer. That would have allowed me to collect all the sound in the mixer, and then output it to my headset and capture card (gaming pc)?
