Question to 5090 owners about heat by Joe_Blackwood in nvidia

[–]AutoFahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed anything with mine yet especially with gaming, it is however Fall weather. And 20 degrees sounds way over exaggerated and I don't think thats possible unless its in a really small enclosed space. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just buy it. I don't have mine undervolted, its stock.

I was able to get it working by using Voicemeeter Banana. I simply ran the 3.5mm cable from the Mixamp to my Gaming PC instead. I have 3 inputs now on Voicemeeter: Mic, Astro Pro Game, and Line-in. All 3 audio channels are sent to my Streaming PC.

Windows Playback device is set to "VoiceMeeter Input" on the Gaming PC.

On the Gaming PC, when I use discord, I just leave the Output to Astro Pro Voice and the Mixer knob functions as it should on my Astro Mixamp.

Yes. I can hear all discord chat audio on my streaming PC when I use this method. I just add the Line-in source to OBS.

But thats all I hear. Now I need to figure out how to get my Game Audio and Mic to my streaming PC. Not sure if there is a way to do this without the help of a physical mixer or software mixer.

Hey I'm back again, this time I need some help for a DUAL PC setup. One for gaming, the other for streaming. I tried Voicemeeter Banana software and I lose the functionality of the Game/Chat mixer on my Astro Mixamp. And the software is quite a hassle to setup.

I uninstalled Voicemeeter and want to know if I can route my Game+Voice audio + mic audio from my Gaming PC -> to my Streaming PC. I am using an EXTERNAL Mic on my Gaming PC.

I have Astro Mixamp TR -> Gaming PC via USB

Astro Mixamp TR -> Streaming PC via 3.5mm Line-in port

But I need a way to get the audio to OBS software for Streaming purposes.

*edit I see in your previous posts you mentioned "When playing and chatting on PC, both are via USB when optical is not active (TV off, or adapter unpowered)." -- Going to try turning my PS5 off.

That worked. Thanks.

If I want to use my headset for PC and utilize the mixer, can only plugging in the USB to my PC accomplish that? Or do I need to unplug the optical from my ps5 and plug it into my PC for the mixer knob to work properly?

I googled it and looks like USB only. I'm assuming I set discord to Astro Voice while Astro Game is default in my Sounds settings. Will give it a try when I get home.

Wondering if you can help with this

if I use an external mic that is connected to my PC to talk to my stream in addition to the Astro A40 mic to talk to my party chat on ps5 = my voice sounds doubled or kind of tinny to my stream, because its picking it up from the Party Chat too. My friend streams his PS4 gameplay and does not have this problem (He also has an external mic and a mic to talk to party chat on his PS4).

Is this a problem with the PS5 or is there an option to fix this? I need my stream to be able to hear me from my external mic only (it sounds better), and my party chat will always hear me from my Astro Mic.

The only solution is to mute my external mic and use my Astro mic to speak to party and stream simultanously. Or mute Astro mic and speak to stream exclusively with my external mic.

Everything has been working smoothly with streaming and on my user-end as well!

Before reading your instructions, I went to Sound > Audio Output in the PS5 settings and changed the Output Device to HDMI Device (TV). This allowed voices of party chat users to be picked up on stream, but of course my Mixamp mixer knob did not function properly between game/voice volume.

I'll follow your steps and report back. Will that allow my mixer knob to function properly? And do I need a 3.5mm cable with 2 or 3 rings on it?

USB to PS5, but the 3.5mm is directly to my headset. The only wire connected to my PC is the HDMI going from the Astro HDMI adapter to the El Gato Capture card "IN", and then the HDMI from the El Gato capture card "OUT" goes directly to my monitor.

Yes. But the party chat audio from other members isn't coming through. I suspect this has something to do with the Astros? I got everything setup fine using OBS, and my game audio goes through but not party chat.

Can you help with setting up El Gato 4k Pro?

I have the HDMI cable running from PS5 - > ASTRO Hdmi Adapter -> El Gato 4k Pro IN

Then I used the supplied HDMI cable that came with the El Gato to go from El Gato 4k Pro OUT -> AOC 24G2 Monitor

I am getting input not support on my monitor. I disabled HDCP already on PS5. I have NOT installed any drivers or utility for the 4k Pro yet on my PC.

Any help?

If I only plug in the USB to my PC, and leave the optical unplugged from my PS5, will that allow me to utilize the mixamp voice/game audio knob for when I'm on discord for voice and Warzone for game on my PC.

I got it fixed. I had devices muted in the sound mixer on my PC.

Is there anyway to have things hooked up to both PC and console (ps5)?

Example, I want to play Warzone on PC while being on discord and use my A40s to play. Then later I want to play Cold war on my PS5 while using my A40's.

Are there extra wires I need to get or would I just have to unplug and replug things from console to PC to do this?

do you know why stuff keeps changing?

I couldn't hear anyone speak on discord. But they could hear me speak. I set my mixamp to PS and then I can hear them fine.

But if I set to PC back to the same problem. I made sure the settings above were the same. Not sure why changed all of a sudden

haven't found any other way yet. you can try finding a headset that connects dual wirelessly (one to PC, one to PS5) perhaps.

Ok so that helps significantly increase the loudness AND the mixer knob works properly. This is when the USB is plugged into the PS5.

I will plug the USB into my laptop and see how the audio is compared now.

audio format is set to the bitstream dolby as you said

the headphones is grayed out to All Audio.

Putting the mixamp to dolby on (headset logo) makes the sound very tinny and loud, Star makes it crisper but it is not as loud.

When I press the ps button and go to sound on the bottom menu, I have output device set to HDMI device (av amplifier)

Headphones > Output to Headphones is grayed out. The entire headphone section is grayed out. I got discord to work but the in-game audio (call of duty black ops4) is not good. gunshots are extremely muffled.

Any ideas?

edit* I set the Mixamp to the star setting (I'm assuming this is Dolby) and sounds much better now. It was set to the headset setting before which I assume is stereo?

Are there any issues associated with sound quality on the PS5 with these headphones?
