thegaurdian1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi ALL, How is everyone? Question for the community. I play on PlayStation 4 and use Elgato HD60S to stream to Twitch.tv/thegaurdian1 *little bit of advertising*. When I started using the Elgato as my capture card for streaming, I would plug in a USB Headset but once you do that it disables PS4's AUDIO out through HDMI!!! I was wondering if anyone on here has the same setup with same issue or maybe a solution to this. My solution is as follows but I don't like it because I can't use surround sound on my headset with this solution. I solved this by buying Chat Link, Optical Audio cable and a converter because my headset does not have a mix amp. Once the chat link, optical audio and converter were all connected it works fine. Anyone with the new PlayStation Beta 5.0 operating notice if this was fixed? Anyone figure out a fix in general where a USB headset can be used without all the WIRES like MINE?

bagsta69 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have my tb elite 800s giving me surround sound and simply plug an external mic into the elgato. The mic on the egato records voice and I get to hear the game in surround sound through the head set. Not sure if thats any help but thats how I have stuff set up.

I'm not sure i'm following you brother. I have HyperX Cloud headset and it can be USB plugged into PS4 or Aux into ChatLink cable. Only way I can get surround sound with HyperX Cloud is if its plugged in USB into PS4 but when I do that NO other sound goes to the STREAM through HDMI...

How is your TB Elite 800 connected to the PS4? Via USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It has a connection to the back of the PS4 like a magic thing and usb as well. I think the usb supplies the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the usb supplies the power So one way I for surround sound enabled was plugging in my headset into laptop and then setting sound on PS4 to come through tv. That enabled sound to go to elgato and then in elgato software i set my headset as my mic and hearing so I could to talk stream and hear the PS4 game. It's hard to keep it like that though...I wish Sony would just provide a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
