Do both things come from the same source, already mixed? Once they're mixed, you can't unmix. Not even the pros can do that. For an almost-literal explanation of why, imagine that you have a string of numbers - say, 5 for one of them - and you want to figure out for each one which two numbers were added to produce it. Was it 2 and 3? Or 4 and 1? How about 1 and 4, because that's different still? Good luck!

The key is to keep them separate until you *want* them mixed. Is there a setting in Xbox to do that?

Maybe the chat can use a different system on your end, that still connects to what your friends are using?

Hi Aaron,
They do sort of come from the same source the hdmi is recording the gameplay audio and then the optical is recording the party so I would have thought there is a way to seperate them?

Okay, so:
  • What does the HDMI have, by itself?
  • What does the optical have, by itself?
Not what you want them to have, but what do they actually have?

What options do you have to feed each of those hoses? Are they always identical? Can you put something different in each one?

The hdmi by itself will only give me game audio when I have that connected from the xsx to the elgato and then to my monitor and computer.

Once I put the audio extractor in so I can use the optical for the Astro a50s cause the Xbox doesn’t have a optical it merges the gameplay audio and the party audio the party audio comes from the optical cord.

So do I connect my head set to the computer and use discord through that?
How would I get the game audio through to my headset?

What I do is I use a second computer with a microphone and a basic single speaker. My gaming PC is separate from discord completely. Sometimes I use headphones and sometimes speakers. That way the speech isn't on my game recordings and I can adjust volume separately
