Question / Help Recording double audio from xbox

[Jester was Good]

I currently have my audio from the xbox going through my computer's Line-In jack so that I can get audio through my PC speakers (I use the same monitor). I also take split the HDMI into two where one goes to the monitor and one goes to my capture card. When I use OBS to record games, it takes the audio of both "what I hear" from the speakers as well as the HDMI from the xbox, and it leads to the sounds being very hollow sounding and oversaturated.

What I'd like to do is disable the HDMI audio source and simply record "what I hear" so that I can capture both in-game sounds as well as the skype call for the communication. Does anyone know how this can be done? I feel like it's probably a really easy fix and I'm just missing something. Thanks for any help! :)

The HDMI audio is probably better quality/cleaner, so the better solution would probably be to open your video capture source properties, select "Output audio to desktop" instead of "Output audio to stream only" and then ditch the Line In audio source. If you really want to use Line In exclusively then you can change the Audio Input Device option in that same window to "None" instead.

Hmm, the line in isn't for capture though, it's so that the speakers output the game sounds and then I use headphones to hear. The problem is OBS seems to capture "everything I can hear" like if I'm playing music or doing a skype call or something.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

If you have any "extra" unused playback devices you could set OBS to record those instead under Settings > Audio to keep it from picking up desktop audio.

k, thanks so much! I'll tinker around with the settings and hopefully figure it out.

Go to your capture device properties and set the Audio Input device to disable, this will get rid of the HMDI audio. Set your audio in the audio-tab to your default desktop device, this way your viewers will hear everything your hear.
