Really needing help with dual pc streaming audio

[BadWifiGuy]

I have multiple options I’ve seen from videos on how to do this by using voice meter or ndi but I don’t want to use those I would rather go an easier way so would an aux cable be able send my gaming pc audio to my streaming pc and if not is there any mixers of some sort that are reasonable cheaper than the go xlr mini that would work the same way

[Ahoy Hoy]

Simple answer is no.

There is basically no other standalone products which do what the go xlr does by controlling windows volumes. Not that the go xlr mini would work in a dual streaming set up.

If all you want to do is send your gaming audio to another computer just use a aux cable plug the two computers together. But if you dont want to use any software to change the sound settings you cant listen to it your self  through headphone or speakers and no microphone audio will go to the other computer.

That should be fine then I’ll get an aux cable and save for the go xlr but where could I plug the ends into and also would the normal go xlr be able to route all my audio from each pc and the mic into the streaming pc

No the go XLR doesnt work well with two computers.

headphone or speaker out into line in or mic on the second computer doenst desperately matter.
What is your aim and what equipment do you have. In detail. Where you want audio to go and what audio you dont want to go.

Voicemeeter definitely works I just ran into latency issues with it. I could have had it set up incorrectly, or it's because my processor is starting to show it's age. I was able to pick up a mixer and separate audio tracks this way. The only downside is depending on how much "separation" you need getting fed into software (obs/discord/etc...) you need an additional line out on the PC. AKA you need another sound card with a line out.

 

As @Ahoy Hoy requested... what is your end goal here?

 

1) what will you have running on "PC1"

2) what will you have running on "PC2"

3) out of those, what is the combined audio sources you'd like being sent to the stream?

I’m gaming on pc1 streaming on pc2 and I just need gaming audio to streaming and mic to streaming

[NinJake]

What microphone are you using?

 

If it's a standard usb/3.5mm mic, plug it in the streaming computer at the usb or mic input of pc2. Done.

Please seriously consider whether or not you really need to be streaming on dual rigs, with the popularity of multicore CPUs and their maturity there is very little reason to even consider dual PC streaming.

 

As for the Go XLR, It's an overpriced audio interface with some additional software, controlling windows audio with hardware isn't new or even necessary since Windows now has the Win+G hotkey to bring up volume and other controls without leaving the program you're in. As for hardware, any MIDI compliant control surface can do the exact same.

 

Strongly consider whether you really need the added complexity of dual PC streaming and the Go XLR

If you'll be using an XLR mic here are the options as I see them from most ideal to least ideal.

1, Just use a UMC202HD interface, use the game bar for volume controls and a single PC for streaming

2, UMC202HD, Korg nanoKontrol (if you really hate the game bar that much) and Single PC streaming

3, GoXLR and SIngle PC Streaminf

4, Dual PC Streaming wit UMC202HD

5, Dual PC Streaming with GoXLR

If you already have the UMC22 why would you even be considering buying another interface? plug it into your mic and your PC then you're good to go.......

Theres your problem. You said that the GoXLR is too expensive and after something cheaper (not that that solves your problem) but not willing to use the cheap solution.

I have utterly no idea to help you because when asked for details you gave bugger all and then five posts later you have a XLR mic and a interface.


So try this again give details on everything.
