I have been using a mixer to connect my PC to my headphones and speakers, but I am now looking to replace it because the headphone output recently started to only output on the left channel.
My current setup looks something like this:
Inputs:
Mic --> Mixer (Ch 1)
PC (VoIP) --> Mixer (Ch 3/4), connected through HDMI audio. Sounds ok, but not great.
PC (Desktop) --> Mixer (Ch 5/6)
Outputs:
Mixer (FX send) --> PC (Mic input)
Mixer (Main) --> Speakers
Mixer (Phones) --> Headphones
I would like to connect my Nintendo Switch to the new setup, which I cannot do at the moment because I am out of stereo inputs.
I would also like to keep being able to mix my desktop audio into the microphone output if possible.
Currently, I am using an AT2020 XLR microphone and DT880 pro 250 ohm headphones.
I maybe want to change the microphone for something more directional in the future though.
What would you recommend as a replacement for the mixer?
It would be even better if I could get a DAC in there somewhere to replace the PC audio because the audio source is a bit noisy if I turn up the volume. Especially the VoIP audio routed through the HDMI audio source.
