It passes the feed through to my MacBook Pro. Both the video and audio +pass through cleanly to OBS and I've been streaming successfully to Twitch with +that setup. + +I then wanted to add my headphones and Blue Yeti microphone into the setup so +that I could hear the game audio and talk during the stream. + +Despite OBS picking up the audio through the Audio Input Device, I couldn't +hear it in my headphones. That's because by default _Audio Monitoring_ is +turned off for audio devices. + +If I want to be able to hear the sound and pass it through as output to OBS, I +have to change the _Audio Monitoring_ setting for that device. In the _Audio +Mixer_ section, there is a gear icon next to the audio device. I click that and +choose _Advanced Audio Properties_. From there, I change that device's Audio +Monitoring setting from _Monitor Off_ to _Monitor and Output_. + +Now I am able to hear the audio that is coming through Mirabox from my Xbox. +And anyone watching my stream can hear it too.
