My dual pc

MegaPoofTTV · March 15, 2021

Hi I have 2 pcs one gaming one streaming, the streaming pc has my elgato 4k pro in it.

My mic is in Streaming pc so streaming can hear me and my friends on discord.

Is there a way to share 1 mic with both pcs without buying anything. Please note I have to use sound capture on both pcs.

I'd suggest running your calls and stream on the gaming PC, and having the streaming PC solely for streaming. Seems to be the only opion if you're not willing to buy anything for it, just make sure to have the mic output go through the elgato as well

Easiest solution is to just not use a dual PC streaming setup. With the popularity of good multithreaded CPUs like Ryzen there's very little reason to stream from a different PC.

If you plug the speaker output to the mic input of the other computer. Then either listen to option in the sound options or mess around with voice meeter to send mic audio out of the speaker output.

When you say not buy anything, do you mean not anything expensive or nothing at all?

I'm sure there are cheap cable or switching solutions if you have somewhat of a budget

*also I'm certain that you can capture the sound of your PC with your streaming PC, but I don't stream and at that don't do it with two PC's when I have dabbled.
