Question / Help Trying to hear both mics clear without echo/delay through OBS without audio mixer. possible?

[mctrademark]

I have 2 rode mics and am trying to get them to both heard through each mics' headphones. When I change the "monitor and output" I can hear them both but they have a sick echo and delay to the point where I could never do a podcast with them as such. I fucked up and bought rode USB mics so I have to return them if I'm going to use a mixer and get XLR rode mics. I would love to avoid this and the extra cost of course if there's nay way I can get them to be heard clearly without echo delay. please help!

Can you explain your setup and use case a bit more? Are you saying you've got two headsets in the same room, connected to the same computer, and both added as sources in OBS, and when you monitor them both, there is a delay between them?

ya that sounds right. Is there a way to monitor them both cleanly without a mixer?

Not really, no. If there's no way of eliminating the lag, perhaps you could delay one a bit to get them in sync?

No monitoring through the computer is going to give you horrid delay. I use a interface with monitoring and XLR microphones so you get zero latency and you can route the computer audio back to the interface. I’ve used a Zedi10 interface/mixer and my Zoom H6. A Scarlett 2i2 would work as well. You’ll need a headphone splitter with adjustments to let you both hear, well unless you get something with mutilple headphone monitor ports.
