Help setting up a mixing desk to use for streaming and party chat xbox one

Mike115

Hey all, I'm so sorry that my first post here is begging for help, ut I'm about to go stirr crazy and desperly need help.

I have a soundproofed studio for podcasting and thought it would be perfect to use for a bit of game streaming in between.

I have the following sound equipment.

Rode NT1A Mic.

behringer xenyx X1222USB-Mixing desk.

Streaming PC with a capture card (avermedia) that only has a hdmi input.

The mixer is connected to the pc via USB and the line in channel on the sound card.

The xbox doesn't allow the mixer to be connected directly via use, instead you need to connect it to the controller and use a splitter, as below

The "headphone" side goes to a channel in the mixer and that should be the game audio and my party chat friends.

But the mic side? Where do I plug that?
I need it to to go to the pc and also to the controller so that my "party" can hear me speak and of course I want to be able to hear them speak too and I want to be able to record them also

How can I do this please?

How do I need to set the mixer up in the pc and rhw cables into it etc, basically I need help like I'm a total n00b, because I am from setting stuff up.

Thanks so much everyone.

I'm sorry but I'm finding it very hard to understand what it is you're trying to do and those image links are broken,

If your question is what you think it is, just take the video out and audio out of the Xbox and into the streaming PC,
Use your normal Xbox mic to talk to your party and record the NT1A for streaming.

The issue wirhbrhe xbox is that it doesn't have any audio out options apart from a optical cable option and the mixer doesn't use those.

Xbox has an audio setting to send chat audio out with game audio over the HDMI connection. If you use this, you only have to worry about sending your mic to both the controller and PC for recording.

I'm pretty sure you can use HDMI for audio out and if you can't there's a headphone jack on the controller you can use a Y cable to split and send to your streaming PC.
Just use the normal headset mic you would for Xbox and then have your NT1-A near your mouth so stream can pick that up with better quality.
