# Monitor An Audio Input Device In OBS
|
|
|
|
I hooked up a Mirabox HDMI capture card with loop out between my Xbox 360 and
|
|
display. 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.
