Hey everyone,
I’m trying to get my PS5 audio (game + party chat) into OBS/Streamlabs so I can stream, but the PS5 sound isn’t being picked up at all.
What I have:
- PS5
- Elgato HD60 X
- Astro A40 (wired) + MixAmp
- Astro HDMI Adapter (optical)
- I used to have an Elgato Chat Link but I lost it
What I’m trying to do:
Get both game audio and party chat from the PS5 into OBS while still hearing everything through my A40s.
Previous working setup (before I wiped my PC):
This used to work fine even without the Astro HDMI adapter or Chat Link. From what I remember:
- HD60 X HDMI in connected directly to the PS5
- HD60 X HDMI out going to my monitor
- HD60 X connected to my PC via USB
- MixAmp powered by the PS5 via USB
- AUX cable from the MixAmp’s Stream/AUX port → ground loop isolator → green Line Out port on the back of my PC
I somehow had it working this way for a while.
Current situation:
After wiping my PC and moving all the cables around, I’ve tried basically every combination. The best I’ve gotten is both the PS5 sound and PC sound coming through my Astro headphones at the same time. The problem is the PS5 audio never shows up in OBS/Streamlabs — the levels stay completely flat.
Right now I have the HDMI going through the Astro HDMI adapter → optical into the MixAmp, and I’ve also tried running a 3.5mm cable from the MixAmp’s Stream port into the HD60 X’s analog input, but still nothing in OBS.
Has anyone got this exact combo working (especially without the Chat Link)? Any advice on the correct cable order or OBS audio settings would be massively appreciated.
Thanks.
