Hey guys! I hope this video helps those of you looking to use a wireless headset with your Xbox Series S/X Elgato setup. This can be a little tricky as Xbox cannot use USB mic connected to the console, and game chat (not Xbox party chat) audio get's re-routed any time headsets are connected to the console. (Check METHOD #1) If you own an Xbox compatible wireless headset and a USB mic + only care about recording game audio with Xbox party chat (Check METHOD #2) If you're looking to use ANY wireless headset for chat and commentary + record game audio, game chat, and Xbox party chat + the ability to hear alerts, Spotify, etc. - Windows OS only, Mac users I recommend running Bootcamp or Parallels Comment if you have any questions, or DM my socials linked in the description!
So using this method, How do i add commentary via a second mic while dead in game? SLOBS Doesn't want to recognize my second mic now that have that headset plugged in
Hey Midnight! I was able to stay wireless (Astro A20) simply by adding an audio source to SLOBS selecting my Elgato HD60 S+ capture card. Game sound AND party chat goes throught that source. I stream with an iMac. You might want to investigate my solution. Cheers and keep up those awesome videos!
Basically try the first method I show in this video. You have your headphones wireless connected to Xbox while everything you need (except game chat) is recorded in OBS.
This is perfect. Still a bit peeved that PlayStation hasn’t figured this out yet since I use both Xbox and PlayStation depending on what I’m playing, but luckily I still use a wired headset on the PlayStation and can just use a chat link.
Okay Midnight, u did great for this… but an additional challenge here, can we still play music on the PC and not let it upload to the VOD? Without losing all the sounds of game chat
Not necessarily, this video shows you can use a wireless headset and still get everything recorded. Follow method 2 if you need game chat audio, otherwise you’ll need to use chat link cable wired from controller
Im running an astro a50 on xbox with the hd60x...i found in the game settings on COD in the cod settings for audio find party chat output and change from headset to speakers....worked for me without the chatlink cable at all
Please can you tell how you got input and output up on the xbox app as mine just says game bar needed for voice chat and 1 is installed with app already just doesn't seem to be working
I really appreciate you breaking all of this down. I'm looking to get into video game streaming and you have great details on how to get started, with multiple ways to get it done. thanks brother!
I stream off my pc using a capture card to my xbox. i bought the chat link so my streams can hear my game chat but when i plug the chat link into my arctis 9x wireless my teammates can’t hear me and the stream still can’t hear game chat audio. can anyone help me please
This video is great, I’m saving this to come back for when my elgato comes in. Hopefully it can work the same with my Old Xbox One. Subscribing for more
Method 1, isn't really explained well. It's not as simple as you make it. I downloaded elagto 4K utility and my wireless headset is connecting to my xbox, I can't hear myself in the party. All i hear is game audio.
This worked for me and I don’t use an elgato game capture the only thing Is I can’t talk to my stream or recording while also talking to my friends. I have a steel series so maybe I have to mess with the setting or I might just get any mic to plug into my pc
Hey! I hope someone can help! I used method two and everything works great! But my only problem now is that whenever I play fortnite now certain buttons don’t work? Anyone else gave this problem?
Hi Midnight Man, Do you know how to seperate the audio in OBS? As the party chat record with the gameplay and I cannot edit it? I have my Xbox series x with a elgato hd60x and a hdmi audio extractor with my Astro a50 connected via optical to my laptop any help would be greatly appreciated
Okay okay now PlayStations turn. Also you should do video on how to properly wire your streamdeck as a sound board to record your sound and people to hear you play them. It can be done!
Does this mean that if I choose not to use a capture card at all and capturing game play in OBS by remote play only (window/screen capture) I can connect my wired headphone to my mac and be able to capture all audio: game play, game and party chat and stream commentary?
All I did was hook mine up regular. I ran a line to the Xbox a line to the TV and a line to the computer. On OBS studio it automatically picked it up and everything comes through loud and clear. I'm running on the series x and after I hooked up the capture card literally zero changes to any settings and it picked everything up running once again the series x with the Astro a50 headset.
@@MidnightMan yeah they are well worth the money! They make a lot of things so simple and I game on my PC using the same headset all I do is transfer it to a USB port on my PC.
Getting into streaming and picked up a USB mic and realized you can’t plug and play.Does anyone know if you can use a wireless headset along with a usb condenser mic?
My only issue is, is that having the second method done, I can hear the audio from 3 sources. The Xbox party, the remote party, and the obs. Anyway to fix that???
Something that I found is that even though it doesn’t pick up your audio it will pick up the others people audio in your party. Not sure why that is or how to fix it
Is this possible to PlayStation? I need to improve my headset and looking at the HS80 wireless but I want to stream party chat audio and hear my game audio.
Stupid question but is the Xbox adapter and extra flashdrive?? Like you have astros and the Astro flashdrive connects to your Xbox directly and then you need another for the PC?
does this work for hd60s. Ya know the one that is installed into the computer. This was easy with arctis pro wireless because of the optical audio cable, but with the nova pros eliminating that I do not know the workaround. Please help.
No, you don’t if you want Chat to work with your headset, go to settings under chat audio change it from headset to speakers(you’ll be able to hear the chat through your headset and your streaming software), and you’ll be able to record your Chat party, and your other mic that skin next to the computer will be the same thing as your headset mic audio. You just have to have an extra mic connected to your PC.
I’m so confused I done as said but I now have no game audio recorded and no mic audio and I don’t hear the game from my headset now how have I managed to do the complete opposite of what I intended??
I use method 2 right now with my turtle beach stealth 420x. no adapter needed just plug-in the transmitter that it comes with. The only problem is, at least I’ve only experienced it on modern warfare 2 is sometimes when you are using remote play for game chat, for some reason controls will disable and the only way to fix that is by closing out MW2 and the Xbox app and re-launch with out the Xbox app running. To make this make sense, sometimes when I go into the recent players list to message or add somebody, my controls will no longer work, and then I have to dashboard. The other problem is, if you want to take a screenshot or a quick video clip, those functions will not work when remote play is active. If anyone has fixes for the two of these, please reply to this comment, and you will be forever my hero.
I appreciate the tips, before i make the plunge id like your opinion on using my current laptop to do this method for streaming. I have a series x and laptop ( Dell Latitude E7470 Core i5-6300U 2.4GHz, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64bit) Both are wired cat 6 within 4 feet of router. I'm ready to buy whatever capture hardware i need but if i need to spend 1k on a pc ill wait.
pls answer! since you can take phone calls while gaming through Bluetooth, am I able to join a PlayStation party through the app on my phone and talk in the party while gaming on my Xbox. i got ps friends.
What kind of headset would I need if I didn’t want to do the remote play? And get the game chat from my console? I know I need a wired analog but don’t know which ones would be best.
I don’t have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capability on my pc. Will the Xbox adapter help my pc connect to the console or Vice versa help my console connect to the pc?
If I used method #2 won’t there be a delay in audio for me listening while playing the game on my main monitor? Is kind of important for competitive games like r6
My issue is that I can hear the game chat setup on the elgato since my output is on "speaker and headset" but when I turn on my wireless Xbox series x headset to talk the elgato no longer hears the game chat. All other audio is fine. Any input?😬
Hello i love the video and got me thinking i have the A50 and don’t know what the stream port is for? Can i connect a cable to the port to the line in on my capture card and pull in game chat? HELP
I have a Xbox Series S, I'm Using The El Gato Capture Card but it won't pick up game chat audio for me the only way it has worked is switching to analog audio but then it only picks up game chat and not game volume. What do you think I should do ?
ok so if im in party chat and im playing a game, if set up correctly, the elgato should input game audio AND chat audio into my stream. The only thing that it does not transmit is the audio coming from MY microphone which is why I need a second mic to record my voice?
Hello bro, I have a quick question. Can I use the elgato HD60+ capture with any PC? I want to record my gameplays from the Xbox series S, but I do not have an amazing computer
Do I need to use OBS or any other software or can I just capture/record thru remote play and still have game chat audio in my clips? All i care about is being able to record funny search and destroy clips with audio. I hate how PlayStation 4/5 have this luxury and Xbox doesn’t 🙃
So if I take my base stand for my Astro A50’s and plug them into the computer toggled to Pc mode and link it in an audio overlay is their a way to pick up “in game chat”- or do I still need to have a wired headset and chat splitter cord?

Is this is the same if you have a PS5 ? I’m using Astros A50 also I have the wave link 3
Same for ps5?
How do you connect the Astro a50 with the Elgato HD60st on Xbox bc I can’t find a video on RUclips that can explain it to me?
@@test_depth_gaming6767 use a separate source on OBS then add your mic.
Man, after two years of putting down and picking up because i couldn’t figure this out has finally come to an end. Thank you my good man 👍🏿. 5 stars.

Thanks for sharing! I created a setup like this and had the party chat come through no problem, but still had issues with game chat.
Hmm can you give a bit more of a specific explanation? Im trying to figure this out as well!
Basically try the first method I show in this video. You have your headphones wireless connected to Xbox while everything you need (except game chat) is recorded in OBS.
@@MidnightMan Just by adding an audio source?
This is the exact same setup as me. Can you explain this more of adding this audio source?
I gotta say, you are THE MAN. Thank you, for all these videos. You’ve made my journey to start streaming SO easy.
Glad to help!

Get a chatlink cable to plug into your controlller headset and the elgato

Great video bro keep up the good work. Very helpful tips glad you was able to figure that stuff out and help out the Xbox ppl. God bless
Xbox needs love too! Thanks bro!
@@MidnightMan yes they do I still need to grab a Xbox lol prolly will soon after I grab stuff for my PS5 like my SSD lol 😂
Glad your back!
good vid bro...only thing for me is that the quality is better when it comes to having wired set-ups

hey I got it to work but for some reason when I upload the video the pepole voices are so loud and mine is not
Amazing video, can’t wait to get started!
Glad your back with uploads
I’m getting double audio, is there any fix for that? I did mute my tv speakers so it can’t be that
Same here, did you ever find a fix?
@deformsreforms1027
@@_NorthernVibes No :(
The audio sometimes lags when coming from the remote play, so I’d rather stick with using the capture audio since it’s more stable.
Can I do this with a ps4?

Yo MidnightMan long time no see nice tutorial I might need this if I get a XBOX again
Iv'e currently got a PS5 may have to get the XBOX one day
Hi Midnight Man,
Do you know how to seperate the audio in OBS? As the party chat record with the gameplay and I cannot edit it?

Astros on Xbox are pretty easy, just plug and play
@@MidnightMan yeah they are well worth the money! They make a lot of things so simple and I game on my PC using the same headset all I do is transfer it to a USB port on my PC.
Is this still working for you? I also have the A50 gen 4's, and I just ordered and elgato HD60 X. I'm hoping to he able to use my headset mic.
@@ofreeser78 Yes it is in my opinion the easiest set-up.
@Carrot1978 I may have some questions, when I'm setting up. If you don't mind. Lol
Would Method 2 work in Streamlabs instead of OBS? Great video I’m ordering the Adapter for Windows soon thanks for the video Guide 👍🏼
Very helpful thank you
What if u just have a TV and a x box?
Is there a way to use astro a50 with elgato hd 60x? My audio during stream keeps cutting out…

Do I need the elgato for method 2
A REMINDER to MUTE your TV/speakers playing any audio out loud to avoid microphone echoes/feedback
How do I do that and where do I go to do that
You can simply press the mute button on your TV or turn the volume down
How do I get it to play through my headphones
Bro i have a wireless headset and an elgato hd60 s+...with a chatlink pro, i cant hear my friend audio on the headset
How can i setup ???
I’m so confused I done as said but I now have no game audio recorded and no mic audio and I don’t hear the game from my headset now how have I managed to do the complete opposite of what I intended??
Curious, you were using your phone with a different account ? To test the party chat?
It was working fine, I changed non of the settings and now it’s not recording the party chat I don’t get it
So I use a RIG 800 wireless. It has a adapter that I plug into the Xbox. Would I plug that into my computer?
Is it similar steps with the ps3 I’m having this issue right now
If I go with method one how would I be able to play Spotify for my stream and so I can hear it too?
