Question / Help How do I hear my game?

[Raydonman]

Right now I am streaming some NHL, and am using the "output to desktop" method, then using my desktop audio out to the stream. This enables me to hear the NHL, however, due to the elgato delay, everything I do in the game, I hear 2-4 seconds later. I'll break down exactly how my connections are going:

Xbox One to Elgato -> Elgato USB to Desktop -> Elgato HDMI Out to my second monitor
In settings, I have "output to desktop" selected instead of stream. From there, I choose my Optical Out in my system sounds as my default device (which is my Astro A50s), and I broadcast the sound from my desktop. This seems to allow them to see and hear in sync (although my webcam is ahead of it), but I can hear a few seconds after what I see on my monitor. How do I hear my own audio, preferably through my A50's, and they hear it too. I'd like mine to be in sync with my HDMI out.

You'll have to figure out a way to get the audio from the HDMI out rather than use 'Output to desktop'. The audio from the elgato itself will always be delayed because that's how USB 2.0 devices have to function (their signal is encoded and decoded which takes time)

Is there any advice for that? How do most streamers do that?

Most streamers usually play it through a TV or something that can output audio from the HDMI.
