- Look I love my #PS5 but there are some major flaws...mainly this stupid no optical port. It require more devices and more wires and its annoying. Chances are setting up the Elgato and the Astro A50 is going to end in something not working because of all the wires and hookups. Hopefully this helps clear it up to get ALL your AUDIO working to you headset to the #Elgato and it all work seamlessly for your stream!

![How to Record Game & Party Chat Audio on PS5 [ Astro A50 Headset + Capture Card Elgato HD60 S ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KB5iRzrrURg/mqdefault.jpg)
I just wanted to drop you a line to express my sincere gratitude for that brilliant video on how to stream your PS5 games while juggling the chat voice and audio simultaneously on OBS.
I really appreciate this video! I don’t recall changing my optical ports because I recently streamed without a problem but this really helped me out. It was such a hassle trying to figure it out, thank you!
Hey thank you. Glad it could be of some help. Happy streaming
I tried all of this and even changed the optical and still got no sound to the headset. I understand sound has to be set to the hdmi and not the headset to be clear. So what am I doing wrong???
k but on obs it picks up headset mic audio from my ps5 and it overlaps with my yeti i want it to just take my yeti audio from me and audio from my friends without picking up my headset mic when i talk to friends anyway to fix this?
is there a way to set more filters on your yeti to cut back on the microphone bleed? Ill be honest I never had that problem and I used the yeti for years.
are your friends on the playstation as well...cuz playstaion did do an integration with the discord app. that you all can use discord instead of party chat.. I do that now. We all join discord now and i never use my headset mic
Can you adjust the game audio? I heard reviews saying you can’t adjust the sounds of the game or chat turning it up or down
So I know two years late but like my audio is blasting the streams ears out how do I fix it I have everything set up not sure if this is broken or if it’s something that I messed up
Are you using obs or stream labs because if so can you slide the slider down on the elgato or your mic in the mixer section.
I’m having a problem my audio is going to the elgato but not my Astro a40 pro mix amp I need help!
Same
I'm a lot of years later, I did all these steps, I have my audio output device set to HDMI because if I don't then the stream has no game audio. But when I have it set to HDMI (even before streaming I would notice this) the mic is not as loud and good as it was when it's set to the normal "usb headset". I can't hear any footsteps or anything but as soon as I switch the audio output back over to USB headset it's perfect, but again then the stream has no game audio. What do I do? @ThoseGamerGirls
@@julianmejia8075 you sure you have the right cord in the back of the base stattuon. Try switching it.
Will this work with Elgato 4k60 Pro mk capture card?
I set it up the way you said but when I plug my usb in to my ps5 I get a loud echo in the adjust microphone level and my teammates say I’m echoing any suggestions?
Hey are you using a tv?
I’m still unable to hear my game audio through my a50s and I’m not sure why. I tried switching the optical cable between in and out and I got nothing
Double check the settings on the actual ps5
Did you find a fix
i followed your steps to a T and CANNOT see my elgato in obs, what can i do ??
Did you add the elgato to your sources?
Just want to confirm… You HAVE to have a SECOND mic plugged in STRAIGHT to PC if using Stream labs in order to have viewers here any commentary?
Awesome video by the way… the optical cord was the issue for me 😂
So sorry my notifications never tell me I have any but yes. You need to have a mic plugged into your pc or laptop and added to the mixer section in the software you use to broadcast so your stream can hear you.
you just helped me so much thank you
Okay do this wrk with avermedia capture card live Extreme 3 capture card ??
Im stuck at the part on the mixer, I havent got one that says elgato and I cant figure out how to add it there. Apologies if this is an stupid question!
Not a stupid question at all you have to add it to your sources first for it to show up in your mixer. So go sources hit the plus button and the Capture device that says for things like webcam or capture card. Click that name it elgato or whatever you want so know what it is. Then it should bring up a window where you can actually add the elgato and once you do that it should show up on the screen and mixer section. Hope this is what you meant
hi I know this video is old but I hope you can help me. my ? is do a need to have at external mic to record my voice connected to the pc or this set up I can record all the sounds only using the astro a50. thanks
I really need help. I have astros a50s,Elgato HD60 s, And Xbox One. Can anyone please help me?
Mine give me audio through my headset but it's not showing that audio is being heard in obs
Been giving me a headache for so long I cannot figure it out
did you add the source of the elgato in OBS?
I'm trying to get the sound from the hd60s to work in streamlabs obs but its not showing up. I'm using a ps4 slim though. Should I change the audio settings in properties to a custom device.
You sure you added the right source for the elgato in Streamlabs? Also check the USB port it’s plugged into on your pc. I know for me personally I can’t have it plugged into the back. It won’t work especially if it’s next to another usb. So mine is plugged in to the front of my pc. Also make sure you have the hdcp thing ticked in the setting of the ps4
Really hope you can answer this simple question even though you made this video 2 yrs ago lol im trying to get rid of all the cables with elgato chat link and wired headset for ps5/pc audio.... so just to clear this up before i purchase the a50s, this setup will send GAME/PARTY chat & GAME audio to the headset & stream while i can talk to ps5 friends right? Lastly, i'll be able to hear pc audio as well on the a50s? This would change my streaming experience like no idea if u can help out. Please and thank you!
Okay so yes and no. Yes it will do all those things EXCEPT for you won’t be able to communicate with your stream unless you get a external mic you plug into your pc (where you have to plug the elgato into anyway) your headset will only be able for you to hear game audio and party chat as well as chat to them in party chat. The external mic will be what you talk into for stream to hear you. Also as I have my a50’s set up now I can hear ps5 and pc audio as well as chat to stream, BUTTTTT that’s because I’m using discord to chat with my friends with. If you wanna use discord you will be able to hear pc and ps5. But it’s a little different set up. Remember discord is now supported on ps5 for a chatting option.
@@ThoseGamerGirls Thank you so much for answering with details. Just the answer I wanted, I will be purchasing soon. 🙏🏻
Last question, how would I hear the pc audio while hearing ps5 audio on the same headset?
@@OmaarFlex so I have mine all plugged in but the optical cord still in the ps5 but the usb portion of the headset is plugged into my pc. Then make sure you change where you hear your audio from the settings on the pc so Astro a50 voice I believe it is. Like I said you won’t be able to talk to friends on psn chat but you can with discord.
😪I still can’t hear my voice or party chat on elgato while playing game
Any solution?
What’s your headset plugged into? Are you streaming? Can stream hear you or your party chat?
i see that you dont have a buzzing sound so how do you get rid of that?
What’s buzzing? It could be placement of usbs. I know I have to place my elgato usb at the top of my case because it won’t work in the back properly. It could be a bad hdmi cable? Im not too sure. I don’t believe mine ever buzzed. I would try moving the usb of your elgato from the back to a top usb on the top or front of your pc.
yeah so I have everything connected and everything good all the settings how they were in the video but I still can't hear anything coming out from the headset nothing at all plz help
Depending on what generation headset of the a50’s you have the base station optional ports could be switched. Make sure the optical cable on the base station is in the right one and make sure the headset basestation is plugged directly into the ps5 itself. Also I would just double check the headphone output on the ps5 is to hdmi/tv and NOT Astro a50 headset
Here's my problem. I have everything plugged in. In Streamlabs I have my video showing and my game audio. But no audio for my mic in the stream. Pls help.
Are you using the mic from your headset? If you are you need an external mic so your stream hears you. The only thing the headset mic does is communicate with other ppl that are also on ps5/4 party chat. If you want your stream to head you you need an external mic. I personally use the blue yeti it’s a usb mic. Very easy to use it’s basically just plug and use. But they have so many different usb mics you can get now that are at many different price points for any budget. All you do on your pc is plug the mic in and on Streamlabs in the mixer section just add the mic. Hope this answered your question.
Any suggestions to help out why my external Mic can not be heard in voice chat parties? My voice is heard on my Streamlabs streams but no one can hear me in the PlayStation 5 chat party. My Astro's A50 can hear chat and game but chat can not hear me, only on my Stream. Need some good suggestions please 🙏
Your a50’s mic doesn’t work for party chat? Your external mic should be plugged into your pc or whatever you have your elgato running to. And that is ONLY so stream can hear you. The external mic should be showing up under the mixer section of your Streamlabs or broadcasting service.
My Astro a50 mic is what my party chat hears. So what you’re saying is your Astro a50 headset mic isn’t coming through to your party chat? Is the basestation plugged in directly to the ps5? And this happens to me a lot so this is why I’m going to say this. The ps5 controller has the neat feature that you can mute your mic from it. So for example usuallu if you wanna mute yourself you pick your mic up to the straight up and down spot. Well with the dual shock controller the ps5 has now has a mute option built directly in. So you can keep your mic arm down in the on position and hit the mute button on the controller and it will still mute your mic. So sometimes I forget my controller mic button is muted so my a50 mic isn’t broadcasting to my party even tho my arm is down. The color orange/amber light in the bottom part of your controller will be lit if your controller mute mic option is on. Idk if that make sense but I hope this helps some.
@@ThoseGamerGirls ok so your saying I can have my Astro's A50 Mic down while streaming and talking in the external Mic for streaming while I am in the PS5 chat party? If that is the case I did not know that lol lol.
It makes sense now lol lol....
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. You just got a sub and big 👍!
@@acewonderwaffles hey man that’s the great thing about the internet. We can all help each other out! But yes you can use your Astro mic to communicate with party chat/game chat on ps5 and the external mic to your stream. And there shouldn’t be any double Audio. Happy streaming
@@ThoseGamerGirls you are so right and thank for your help!
I am gonna share your video to my discord for the Astro's headset gamers who just got the PS5 so this will definitely help them. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for your next video 👍
@@acewonderwaffles hey thank you so much!! Have a great day!
I have everything put together the correct way the correct settings and I’m not getting game volume or anything coming to my elgato . I have watched video after video with no luck
You made sure to to do the dhcp thing on the PlayStation? Maybe try switching up a cord just to see? You have the Astro HDMI splitter?
WOW!! I feel dumb as hell now lol...it was def my optical cord....thanks! Great video! Subscribing to your youtube and following the twitch channel ASAP!
Hey so glad it helped! Don’t feel dumb it took me forever too! Happy gaming! Thank you!!
I need another mic in the pc ? Because i try ti use my headset to pass all audio to the stream i have ps4
Yeah the headset is so you can hear and you can communicate to party chat. You need an external mic plugged into your pc and added into you mixer section of your broadcast software (obs, Streamlabs obs etc) that external mic is so your stream can hear you when you talk.
I had an issue where the output device was not sending sound to the headset but it was going through the elgato.
I fixed it by turning off the ps5 and then switching the micro output cord on the back and forth from behind the bay station a few times.
Hey glad your fixed it. Thanks for sharing so others can see this too!
I have the same problem
It’s not working when I switch it back-and-forth
so can u use it for the pc and ps5 and hear audio on both
Yes! Thats how I have mine set up. You just have to make sure you have a separate microphone that goes directly in your PC and added to streamlabs or OBS whatever your streaming software of choice in the mixer section. That microphone alone will let your chat (Viewers) hear you. If you try and just use your headset mic that wont work. Your headset mic is only for your party members or players in the actual game/console. There are plenty of good and cheep USB mics you can use if you dont already have one. If you aren't streaming but still want to hear your PC just make sure the USB for the ASTRO A50's is plugged into your PC and not the ps5. MAKE SURE the optical is plugged into your ps5 and you should be good.
hello I want to know how I can continue to hear and talk with my friends on play so in the audio part without hearing my friends on the stream thank you in advance any help and welcome (I use the astro a40 with mixer)
If I’m understanding you correctly you want to hear and talk to your friends while on the PlayStation, but you don’t want their voices to be on your stream? If so I believe there is a setting you’re friends have to do on their end. I believe they need to not allow their voice to be sharable. It might be in the voice settings.
i need help with my xbox one. Want my viewers to hear game chat... Could you give me assistance?
Do you have the right setting for the input. I know on ps5 it needs to be hdmi output. Also in obs or steams so obs do have the elgato added as a source?
I don‘t get any sound on my Astro. That‘s maybe because i don‘t have a direct connection from the base Station and the PS5. But how should i do the direct connection? Thanks for help.
I have my basestation plugged I to the back of my ps5. I have the actual HDMI adapter plugged into an external usb that’s PLugged into my pc.
I should clarify. The usb portion of the hdmi adapter that gives the adapter power, that cord I have plugged into an external usb hub that’s plugged into my pc
I have every Sound, except my own and i dont unterstand why. I have the Same settings but my voice is mute
Are you trying to use your headphone mic as your mic for stream? Because if you are that won’t work you have to have another mic for your voice to be heard on stream. I use the blu yeti and it’s plugged into my pc and then added into obs. There are plenty of usb mics at many budget friendly prices. I hope this helps
How do i keep from echoing with this set up?
Do you have your controller mic on as well?
Someone help ? My a50 disconect dont know why . I reset and disconect 15 min after , if i buy the astro adapter it finish this disconection problems?
Honestly I can’t answer that I never had mine plugged in without it. It kinda sounds like an issue with the headset. Did you do a hard reset on the headset
Yes sir, I had the same issue with my PS5 disconnecting on me constantly. You need to purchase the Astro's adapter and follow her video to take care of the issue you are having. Also go on Astro's web site and sync your headset for additional upgrades might help.
I haven’t got no game audio on this elgato software
Hmmm you sure you have the cords the right way like the base station to the ps5 the cords in the correct spots? The optical in the right one on your base station. I don’t use the elgato software but I feel If it works for my Streamlabs it should work with elgato
I quit streaming just because I couldn't use my headset thanks alot
Are you able to Hear sound from a Pc & Ps5 with the A50's?
Any sound I hear from my pc like alerts comes from my pc speakers. So I’m
Not sure you can have the Audio of both the ps5 and pc in the astros UNLESS you have your headset plugged into the pc and you leave your elgato game capture software open so you can hear the ps5 audio.
Wondering if you can help ive set this up as you have shown but when i switch the output to my monitor so elgato picks up sound i then have 0 sound on the headset
I also dont have two optical ports on my gen 4's base station
Hmmm what’s the input that you have selected that gives you audio to your headset?
Hey, I’m using an Amazon capture card and I can hear everything in my stream fine but my headset volume is lower when I use the Hdmi TV sound output. Can u advise?
Can you turn the headset up manually like in settings on the ps5 or on the headset itself? I’ve personally not come across this issue with mine.
@@ThoseGamerGirls thanks for responding! And yes it’s all the way up :(
@@YsabellaGrace hmm that’s interesting I’m sorry I have not encountered that issue with mine I wish I could be of more help. If I find something out I’ll shoot you a message.
Hello, got it all set up, but It can’t be heard on my stream labs?
Are you using an external mic or just your headset. The headset will only let you hear the ps5 and for you to talk to ps5 party chat. You need an external mic like a usb mic plugged into you pc and added to your mixer in Streamlabs. I use a blu yeti. But there are so many usb mics out there for any budget.
@@ThoseGamerGirls yeah I have a HyperX quad cast, got it fixed though!
I got Astro a40 and My mix amp pro only has one optical port so what do I do ?
The a50 also has one optical port you should be okay trying this method. But i don’t have an a40 so I can’t say for sure
I have monitor gamer its only for tv ?
I doit everything and i dont have sound in the astros 😭😭😭😭
The tv option should still work for your monitor. Because I use a monitor. Are you sure your Astro base station is plugged into the ps5 directly?
@@ThoseGamerGirls yes its directly to the ps5
if I do not connect the astro everything is heard well in my stream but when I connect them the audio is lost
@@Kabesontv do you have the optical cord in the right spot on the Astro base station?
Thanks for the vidéo.Is it the same with xbox series X ? What about the graphic , this is only the graphic of the hdmi splitter not for the elgado/capture card, does it require to plug an additional 3.5mm cable or fiber cable in elgato or only the hdmi cable from the hdmi splitter ?
I can’t fully answer if this is the same setup for the Xbox. But I didn’t have to plug in any extra cables other than the ones I mentioned. I know the Astro hdmi adapter on their website says for ps5 I don’t believe it mentions Xbox.
@@ThoseGamerGirls thanks for your quick answer I saw à Guy on youtube who use the same hdmi splitter so I guess it works the same.thank you
@@STARSHIPJVTEK you’re welcome :)
Has this setup changed for the a50x?
I just got the a50x and still need to set it up. I do know you don’t need the little adapter box anymore
Will this also work with the Xbox.. because I don’t have the Astro adapter
I can’t say for sure I don’t have an Xbox anymore. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Unless the Xbox series x has an optical port then you wouldn’t need it
I can’t find anyone to answer this question. Maybe you can: Is it possible to hear game audio, chat audio AND the music that I’m playing on my stream all at the same time with this setup? And if so, is it ONLY possible with the Astro USB headphones?
I realllllly need this answered 😢Thank you🙏🏻
It’ could be possible if you have the a50’s and have the optical plugged into your ps5 and your usb playing through your pc. It would also help to have some software like wavelink by elgato so you can see everything easier that’s going to your stream and what you can hear on your stream. I use to have mine set up this way so I could hear my pc and ps5. The only thing is you couldn’t be in a private chat on ps5 I believe. I used discord to be in party chat. So the answer is it could be possible. But not entirely.
Oh I also know if you have a capture card for your ps5 the function to make the capture card work like the enable hdcp or whatever that thing on the ps5 is called stops the ability to use Spotify on your ps5.
@@ThoseGamerGirls A50’s!? Ohh noooo. I ordered the A40TR’s!! 😩😩😩😩NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
@@Just_Biscuit_Gaming hey don’t write it off the a40s are basically the same just one is wireless and has an extenal amp. It should work similarly
@@ThoseGamerGirls Thank goodness! I just received the final piece. Now to hook it all up!
Can you listen to pc audio as well ? At the same time while hearing your ps5 audio ???
anybody ???
YES you can! I actually have mine working that way right now as I'm typing, listening Spotify, and hearing my PS5 in my astro A50's. All you need to do is make sure your USB portion of you Astros is plugged into your PC and the optical portion of the astro headset is plugged into your ps5. @@ItsOmare_
I've been on the fence about getting the official Astro one as many of the reviews say that it delays your picture going to you tv. Have you had any issues with it?
I’ve been using it since this I posted this and have not had any issues with it. No delays on my end
@@ThoseGamerGirls Perfect, I shall order one now so I can get back to streaming :)
I got it all to work my only issue is the switch that says PC/PS4 on the side of the a50s When I put it on the PC side I get endgame audio but there’s a bad echo and they cannot hear me when I switch it to the PS4 side they can hear me only and no party or endgame audio can someone help me resolve this
Is the echo cuz your tv has sound coming from it too? I had that issue and had to turn the tv down. Also you sure you have the optical port on the basestation in the right hole? And do you have your basestation usb that powers it actually plugged into you ps5?
@@ThoseGamerGirls I actually think we figured it out I forgot to change the audio output to HDMI TV amplifier in the PS five but I did not have any sound coming out of my gaming monitor
@@reeltalkgaming5068 hey I’m glad you figured it out!!
I have a Razer wireless headset, would that work also just like the Astro headset?
Does it use a usb that you plug in to the ps5 to make it wireless? If so then no it will not work. USB headsets don’t work with this because of some firmware on PlayStations end. You’ll need either the Astro’s or a headset you plug into your controller
Any idea what would cause distortion in the audio while I stream?
Distortion how? Double audio? Robot sound what
@@ThoseGamerGirls I play a lot of warzone and during gun fights or explosions, I get a lot of “popping” noises
@@peetertv9283 that’s super bizarre I’ve not come across that. Is the game sound on warzone high causing the pops? Or your headset volume being really high? I would double check all the cables that they are plugged in the whole ways on the ps5 the adapter and basestation
How u fixed
I have sound but when i change my audio output to “TV” the sound coming through my headset sounds different.. its sound like a hollow cave.. is this normal?
No that is not normal. Do you have the sound option on the bottom that said hear chat audio or her all sound set to hear chat audio?

Thanks for the video!! Is there any way to also hear the PC audio at the same time.
For example when im streaming i often miss alerts of new followers etc...
Ive got everything setup so stream can hear my party aswell... But i cant hear the pc. :(
I just have my pc speakers up. Idk if there is a way unless you play everything through your elgato software on your pc.
Just plug a 3.5mm aux cord into your pc and bass station and of you go!
do you use another mic for your stream becasue my astros are working fine with sound and everything and the stream can here my friends in party chat but my own. I have no mic levels and the audio coming in from the elgato is basically taking my mic levels out so the stream cant here me. Any ideas how to fix this?
Correct. You need another mic plugged into your pc and added into obs or what er broadcasting software you are using. I use a yeti usb mic. But there are plenty of options out there for usb mics at all price ranges to suit your budget.
@@ThoseGamerGirls Do you know if I use discord and just plug in my mixamp to my pc I should be able to use my headset mic as a microphone input while having my friends voice in the stream too? I should still be able to get game sound since its dual input from optical cable

are you able to hear pc audio and ps5 audio while using the astro a50s with this setup? because I am confused
You can’t hear pc audio just the ps5 audio with this set up
@@ThoseGamerGirls is there a way for both. Cause or just pick and choose one?
@@llSlimBoeheimll I mean if you don’t want to talk to your party chat like the ppl playing the game on the console with you, you can have your headset to your pc and open up the elgato capture software to hear everything on the PlayStation plus the pc.

Thank you so much!It did worked for me,but I have another problem :-( all audio are in the elgato except my own voice :( any solution?
You have to have an external mic so stream can hear you. If you use your headset mic only people in your party chat on your ps5 will be able to hear you. You need to have an external mic plugged into your pc and added as an item on your mixer in obs or your broadcast software. I use the blue yeti but they options to fit almost every budget. A lot of people enjoy the blue snowball mic it’s cheaper more low profile and gets the job done. Razer has the I believe it’s called siren mini and lower budget and is supposed to sound really good plus it comes in three colors. Pink white and black. Hope this helped some
@@ThoseGamerGirls Thank you so so much for replying!God bless you!
Thanks it works great
Only thing is I cannot control my Volume on A50 headset. Any ideas?
@@HEATHSAVILLE hmmm that’s odd because I can still control the volume with mine. Can you control it with the system
@ThoseGamerGirls I can control it when I change back to astros in settings or when I don't have the optical in. But yeah soon as I had that optical in and select hdmi the sound is lowered and I cannot turn it up or down.
Good video! But i dont get the sound from ps5. How can i fix it on obs? Or game capture?
You sure you have the right output set in your ps5 settings? You sure you have the cords set up properly? And you sure you have the basestation plugged into your ps5 with the correct optical port being used on the back of the basestation.
So my setup works but the audio cuts in and out from time to time. I set it up the exact same way you did and even got a replacement headset from Astro. Any tips?
My Audio in my headset only cuts in and out if I’m keeping my head super still and it puts itself to sleep
@@ThoseGamerGirlsI see I had to end up getting A40s because it was happening way to much. The A50s aren’t actually supported by Elgato anyway.
@@RaccoonClan I’m glad you got it figured out!
@@ThoseGamerGirlsA little update. The new gen A40s were trash too. The mic was extremely sensitive and talking a little to loud would cause a popping and crackle noise. At one point I selected the headset for the output device instead of hdmi device but the only issue is that it wouldn’t record game chat or party chat just game sound. I eventually got steel series Arctis pro with the game dac. I only face one issue from time to time with these and that’s distorted audio when opening or closing a game that runs on 120hz. I feel like the PS4 supported headsets and capture cards better and had better technology.
I agree with you 100 percent! I also hate that they took the optical port out of the ps5. It sets up more problems and steps for ps5 users. it sucks because elgato never really worked super well with ps5. They work almost flawlessly with xbox. But its of no fault of elgato its playstations issue. @@RaccoonClan
When I put on hdmi output , the audio is really bad , could you tell me why ?
Possibly play around in the sound settings on the ps5? I’m not entirely sure. I don’t seem to have any issues with it.
@@ThoseGamerGirls when I put on hdmi output sounds different. Instead of ASTRO A50 head set, i settled all like Astro and you

Can i plug my astros base station to a pc for power because I am using one of the back ports for an external hard drive
You can try but idk if it will work
@@ThoseGamerGirls I just plugged the station power to the front of the ps5 USB port instead. This is very confusing because your base station is different from mine and I’m not getting any sounds from my mic on the obs sounds section.
@@NocSlays you can’t use your headset mic to talk to stream. You have to have an external mic. I use a yeti usb mic. They have so many usb mics at all price levels so you can choose one that fits your needs and budget. But your headset mic is only going to be used so your friends in party chat or game chat can hear you. Your stream audience will not hear anything from that mic. Hence the external mic I have plugged into my pc and used in the mix amp portion of obs. Hope this helps some
@@ThoseGamerGirls Yes I know I realized that after I got my Elgato, if I know that you can’t play on all audio and just use 1 mic just to stream and play and talk on stream I wouldn’t have purchased it. It’s just more simple from streaming the ps5. I don’t mic using a 3rd party mic for the stream but the chat audio is the only thing I do not like at all.
i dont have sound in streamlabs from ps5 can you help me ?
Did you add your elgato as a source?
@@ThoseGamerGirls yes I do but I cant listend the game in live ,in setting to pc need to change something? I have windows 11
@@xheniy it’s how you have it hooked up then. Did you turn off the setting on the ps5 like enable hdcp or whatever it’s called? Recheck the cables are plugged into the right spots? Do you have the aux cable for your Astro a50 plugged into the correct hole on the back of your Astro a50 basestation?
@@ThoseGamerGirls i have astro 50 i turn off hdcp ,maybe my problem is pc ?
@@xheniy I feel it’s not a pc thing but rather you don’t have the wires hooked up properly from the elgato to the ps5 to the little Astro adapter box. If it is a pc thing idk if I can help you. Your Astro is plugged to your ps5 right and not your pc?
So I have a ps5 and I use the ps5 headset, hooked up to elgato , why is my headset volume set with my ps5 volume ? So basically I have to have my headset cranked to have the ps5 volume decent for stream . Will a50 have the same problem
I didn’t think you could use the PlayStation headset with the elgato. Because it’s an usb connection. That could be your issue. Also what broadcast software are you using? You should be able to turn up the elgato on your broadcast software. That way the stream can hear the game party chat but your headset can be at a good level for you and have no bearing on if stream can hear. I use Streamlabs obs. But obs you can control the level your elgato is being broadcasted.
@@ThoseGamerGirls I have slobs
@@ThoseGamerGirls to control my head volume I have to turn up in ps5 and it also comtorls my streak volume in sync
@@ThoseGamerGirls I have a 3.5 jack from headset to chat link that plugs into the 60s
@@boondockergames4907 you might need the chat link cable for a 3.5 mm Jack headset. You should look into a video that elgato did of what headsets work best with the elgato. They explain each on abs any external stuff you would need to use it properly.
When I switch to hdmi , i loss the bass in my headset why?
Is the headphone option on all audio or chat only? The headset works better on chat only. Also sometimes my headset sounds better out of hdmi but I just go into the Astro command center and beef up my headset profile. You can try that.
Does this work for the PS4 Pro or only the PS5 ?
The PS4 pro is a much simpler. This set is for the ps5
Does this work the same way on the PS4? I want to start streaming but I’ve seen soooo many problems with audio and streaming from ps4
Streaming on the PS4 is so much easier with this. You don’t need the hdmi adapter because the PS4 has an optical port on the. Back of the unit. I use to stream from the PS4 all the time. I never had any bad audio issues. Especially if you are using an elgato.
@@ThoseGamerGirls sweet! So I can use the Astro headset and hear all party chat and stuff? I’ll definitely purchase a decent mic for the stream.
@@HammerHealth yeah all I used was my astros my PS4 elgato hd60s and then a yeti mic for my pc to have the chat hear me. I never had an issue. The ps5 is the one that seems to be having issues because they don’t have an optical cord on the ps5
@@ThoseGamerGirls sweet! Thank you so much!
@@ThoseGamerGirls sooooo I’m having trouble getting game audio through to my pc :(
Hey everything works fine but I’m not able to record my voice and party chat through obs
Are you using an external mic? For stream or to hear your voice broadcasted you need to have an external mic plugged into your pc and added as a source under your mixer
@@ThoseGamerGirls no I’m just using the Astro a50 that are connected to my ps5
@@LuGNuTT yeah the only way you can use that is if you stream directly from the ps5. If you are going to use the elgato you will need an external mic any usb mic will work. I use a yeti. But they have so many options at all budgets.
@@ThoseGamerGirls ok thank you
So just to get Everything straight I have to get a yeti so I can talk to my stream and record my voice
Love the video. I made a video like this a while back & still to this day so many ppl ask me how 2 hook the capture card 😂. Anyways! Hope u both r amazing. Can’t wait 2 catch the streams again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes yes yes this lol! Thanks my dude!! Much love to you and keep killing it! ❤️
@@ThoseGamerGirls , ty I appreciate it
Thank you TrippyMELMEL i had the same issue this helped me out and now it works
Will this work for Xbox series X?
Optical in or optical out cuz my base station is different
I believe it’s opt in
Quick question, do I need to have my pc turned on for me to use my ps5 when I’m not recording or streaming?
Yes. I know it’s kinda a pain sometimes but he’s because of the elgato
Naah. I have my PC turned off and I can play my ps5
@@phatsage3905 that’s cool how do you do that! For some reason when my elgato is hooked up I have to turn on my pc to power my elgato so I can see my screen.
@@ThoseGamerGirls gotcha. I just thought that was a ps5 new feature thing or a new update that streamlabs obs added in but I’ll have to look into my settings and show you then cause if you don’t believe me I can send a video lol
@@phatsage3905 I’ll have to check it out. Maybe since I did it with my PS4 so much I just assumed I had to do it with my ps5. Let me know if you find anything out.
I can’t control party chat audio vs game chat audio with these settings. Any recommendations?
Most games that you place have their own sound settings in their settings menu. I usually turn the game I’m playing up or down in the game Audio settings depending on what chat needs.
@@ThoseGamerGirls thanks for the reply. I mean on the astros headset, you can increase or decrease specifically the voice volume or the game volume. And with these settings of output on HDMI instead of to the Headset, I can’t do this as they are mixed together as “game audio”
On a game like call of duty for example
@@Syphus323 hmm idk if I ever noticed that. I feel like I’ve used them and they work. I’m in the middle of moving so I just packed mine up so I can’t check but in the settings what is your headset audio set it. All audio or chat only? It’s right below where the hdmi output stuff is for your headset. Mine is set to Chat only.
I tried streaming last night and my twitch couldn't hear my voice only my teammates and the game. How can I fix that?
If you’re using a capture card and like Streamlabs you have to have an external mic for stream to hear you. Unless you stream straight from your console then they will hear you through party chat or game chat. But you have to have an external mic for stream to hear you when using a capture card. I use a yeti but a blue snowball is a great low budget usb mic you can use. There are also other mics you can use that are prettty low budget.
If you plug your headset into your pc you can use the mic that way but you would have to have the PlayStation app or something on your pc so you can still communicate with your teammates. And you would have to have gamecapturr open so you can actually hear your PlayStation. So easiest is to just get an external mic
@@ThoseGamerGirls I stream from my pc, my A50 base is plugged into my PS5. I’m not trying to capture any content, just trying to stream and allow them to hear myself and my teammates:/
@@realeasymoney8741 yeah that’s how I stream too. The only way I can have my chat hear my voice is through my external mic because my Astro a50’s are plugged into my ps5.
@@ThoseGamerGirls thank you for the reply just got a blue snowball
@@realeasymoney8741 cool man I hope you enjoy it! Happy streaming :)
I done the same but I can’t hear the sound on my headset, the sound going to my elgato but can’t hear it in the headset?

Hey can I use it to transfer the party chat to StreamlabsOBS?
I use slobs and party chat can be heard through the elgato on my stream.
So you do need a hdmi adapter?? With the ps5 Using Astro 50s ?
Yes
Yes because the ps5 doesn’t have a optical
Port like the ps4
thanks so much
I have the a50's with the smaller base station and if I change my opt to the port closest to the power cord I lose all audio in head set. I fixed my game audio problem just cant figure out the mic situation. #stressed lol
You have everything else hooked up right abs the base station is plugged into the ps5
@@ThoseGamerGirls yea it's plugged in via usb. idk if it matters but i use streamlabs obs. the elgato mixer is active but the mic/aux is inactive.
@@env_got_chea6865 do you have an external mic plugged into your pc? You can’t use your headset mic to broadcast to stream. The headset mic will only broadcast to your party chat or players in the game. Not to the stream. I use the blue yeti as my external mic that’s plugged into my pc. That mic is used so stream can hear what I say. Also, I too use stream lab obs
Hey everything seems to work except I can’t hear myself in my stream, do you know how to fix that?
Do you have an external mic plugged into your pc and in your obs or whatever broadcast software you’re using? The headset is for you to hear the game abs communicate with people in party chat or game chat. For your stream to hear you, you need an external mic (I use the blue yeti, but you can use whatever you would like). It’s just a mic plugged into your pc so stream can hear you
So I have a question if I’m in party chat n I wanna talk to my stream what I can’t use my a50 mic to talk to my stream n my party chat at the same time I need an external mic for that
Yes I use an external mic that’s plugged in to my pc. That only for chat to hear me.
@@ThoseGamerGirls okay that’s kinda wack wish there was a way around that
@@hondafanic0203 I mean there could be but there might be a lot of hoops to jump through. You can get super cheap usb mics the just plug and play.
@@ThoseGamerGirls could u link some of those I wass just gonna plug in my regular headphones into my computer n talk to the chat like that I know is bad but I don’t have a lot of money now n I just spent it getting el gato
@@hondafanic0203 if you go to Amazon and type in usb mic you should find tons. I saw them thanking from about 17 to 50. You can also search Walmart too. Sometimes links get weird in the chat on RUclips
This work with ps4?
Awesome gameplay
Is this going to capture Party Chat Audio on stream too or just Game Sound?
Yes party chat and game chat should be heard on this. You will need an external mic plugged into your pc for your voice to be heard to your stream.
@@ThoseGamerGirls thank you
i have everything set up right but when i try to record and hear the game with the head set at the same time, its way to low, i cant hear it over any sound around the house, thats how low it is....
Sorry if this sounds dumb. I’ve done this before so that’s why I’m suggesting it. but did you accidentally hit the buttons on the side of the headset?
@@ThoseGamerGirls yea, when i change the input back from the tv to the A50 they sound like they should, at full sound and great which rules out the cables being the problem i would think....and everything is new, all came in yesterday from best buy....from the opt out and in on the base i get audio to the headset while the setting on the ps5 is set to A50, but only get sound with out put (TV) with opt IN which is what with is used to record with OBS and sounds very low....lol so yea i am lost
@@SilentGonzalez yo I’m not going to lie that’s weird. I never actually change mine out of hdmi tv I keep it that way always abs I never have an issue with the sound you sure the opt is correct on the basestation
@@ThoseGamerGirls yep, i might just go buy new cables and new ps5 HDMI cable just to see, i can always return them if that isn't the problem lol...thanks for the quick reply
@@SilentGonzalez yeah sure thing if you get the answer please let me know! Thanks I hope you find a solution soon.
my elgato sound isnt working , everything else is
