Hi, I want to set-up karaoke using KZitem as the source of my lyrics and music. I bought BEHRINGER XENYX X1204USB and J-Tech Digital Optical SPDIF Toslink / Coaxial Digital to Analog Audio Decoder Converter with PCM , 5.1 Dolby Digital & DTS. I also have an Onkyo receiver HT-R593 and a wireless microphone (GTD Audio G-380H VHF Wireless Microphone System with 4 Hand held mics). My problem now is how to connect the mixer to the receiver. What cables /connectors I need to use. I don’t have any knowledge about audio/video technology. I only watch KZitem. Please help. Thank You--- Heraldo

I'm looking to invest into a mixer for my streams on twitch. I stream PS4 as well as PC games. I use an elgato HD 60 and Astro a40s mixamp as well as a dedicated streaming PC to stream whether it's console or PC gaming. Currently I get white noise and some feedback when I stream. I want to get this mixer but I'm not sure how to set it up. I'm a noob with all of this and really need a suggested layout dumbed down. Any suggestions? Also Is there a way I can set up my mixer with PS4 and PC audio captured? So it makes it easier to switch between them? Also What sound card do you recommend?
@SDGolfGuy

Your setup is a bit more complicated. I have a video on how to setup dual PCs using this same mixer as well. The difference between my video and your setup is I would probably use an HDMI switch to alter back and forth between the video source (PC hdmi and PS4 hdmi) before the cap card. In terms of audio that is where it gets a little trickier. You'll need to get the PS4 to send the audio out via the optical, into the mixamp, into the mixer itself, OR you can have the cable send it out via the controller to the mixer. You could also pickup a small USB audio card that will likely work with PS4 that allows it to come out the primary USB ports on the PS4. The mixer itself can do all the audio no problem, its really just how you want to connect it to the stream PC. You could also just send it direct via the HDMI which may be the easiest (but might have an issue in OBS when you switch back to PC - you'll have to disable the sound on the cap card for PC streaming). In terms of sound card I just recommend any audio that can produce at least 24 bit 192kbps audio quality, anything lower than that can have some noticeable quality loss.

Hey Everyone! i've just got all my cable setup and ready to start.I do not like using OBS Studio i do not find it stable for release but I will try. What I wanted to ask is that I would like to hear more of my game volume. I play counterstrike and I need to hear more bass from it but do not want to pass that to my stream PC. I've purchased all the cable and "noise" filters to match. everything in total including a new Microphone was just under $340 now did purchase the 1204USB Premium vs the standard I don't know why but I did. I will let you all know how it goes. I will do a video and follow up making sure to give credit to Mr. Blofield. With so many people here doing dual PC setups I wanted to ask a follow up question. One of the nice things in my current PC setup is I was able to take audio from my bot deepbot where I play music and direct that to the stream vs me having to hear it. So I could play CSGo and my viewers could hear me, the game and the music. All the while I was only hearing the game. Anyone have recommendations on that? I figured if ANYONE would it would be the 33 smart people that liked this youtube video. Thank you, ippaku

Thanks for this! So you send your mic and instrument to your PC via USB, then your PCs to Alt3-4 and mix them back into your streaming PC via that PC's mic in jack I assume? And then combine mic (USB main mix) and PCs (3.5mm alt mix) into one track via OBS? I've got one of these and have ended up doing the same, although I feel kinda dumb still ultimately mixing in OBS because I mean... it's a mixer lol. But hey, at least I'm not alone. Three questions: (1) Do you know of any way to get FX from the internal processor on aux send 2? No matter what I do if I use aux sends I can't get FX on the mic. Although using a just-mics mix solves that problem for me basically. When I switch my mic from the USB main mix to 3.5mm alt mix, when I record my voice into audacity to test, they sound mostly the same but the waveforms look very different, even though I keep myself the same distance from mic and touch no settings. Any idea why? (3) There's no way then to isolate just game audio, e.g. if I wanted to record alongside stream and re-dub with new audio later, yeah?
@SDGolfGuy

So a couple comments, then I'll attempt to answer your questions. I use this setup to send ONLY my mic to the stream PC (I run dual PCs). The Aux send 1, sends ONLY my mic, to my GAME PC. My ALT3-4 only ever goes to my headphones, no other route. The GAME PC sends directly to the STREAM PC through line out/in connection (3.5mm). This means I have 3 sources in OBS - USB mic, Line in game pc, and "desktop audio." - For the game PC I use the line in as my mic, and default audio (speakers) out as the output. Hope that clarifies the setup because there are no loops you're hinting at. 1. The orange knobs send FX via Aux Send 2 to whatever 3.5mm or 6.3mm source. 2. Main and Alt mixes have different interfaces (USB versus analog) you simply may have some loss or added gain between the two - keep in mind the alt3-4 faders are separate from the main faders (USB will offer a cleaner signal usually because below a certain level there is no gain since its digital) 3. There are many ways to isolate game audio. If you're running dual PCs just do it how I did (game pc to stream pc direct line out/line in), if you're using a single pc you could run the game audio into the mixer, send it alt 3-4 into wherever you want it to go (back to line in?) depends on what you want to isolate in that ALT3-4 mix.

Hey Ernst, I'm having a really tough time with my Behringer Xenyx 502 (non USB version) mixer. I've been trouble shooting for a week now, and was hoping you might know the solution to my problem. My setup is I have 2 PCs : One gaming PC and one Streaming/encoding PC for twitch.tv. I bought this mixer to connect my gaming PC audio to my other Streaming PC. This mixer will allow my streaming PC to hear everything playing on my gaming PC. My problem is that once connected to the mixer, all i hear is loud static. It doesn't even show to be a connected device in the devices and printers section on either PCs. The program that i'm using to run my streaming is called OBS. (studio version). In the audio settings on OBS i have my Line IN as one of my aux audio devices, so that should pick up my gaming PC audio, but all that it is picking up is what sounds like static. I DONT have a static remover connected to the mixer because i thought that it would only be necessary for low amounts of static in the audio. I don't know if NOT having a static remover will make my audio completely distorted, or if the static remover is designed to help treat already comprehensible audio signals. My connections are as follows: Gaming PC Line out to LINE IN on the mixer. (RCA to 1/4" connection) LINE OUT on mixer to my Streaming PC LINE IN. (RCA to 1/4" connection) These are the correct connections for a dual PC setup, but the audio never gets through. I turned down my levels on my mixer, disabled all sound effects on my LINE IN settings under audio devices manager, but all i'm getting is static sound. *Is a Ground loop/Ground eliminator necessary to get any audio in my situation? *Is my behinger 502 faulty? The Power light is orange, but no levels are being shown (Green or yellow light indicators) *Are my devices not selected properly? *Do I need a dedicated sound card for this setup? (currently using motherboard sound interface) *On Amazon (place of my purchase) I have read reviews on the power supply being faulty. Would this contribute to my distorted signal? I'm a complete audio novice and would appreciate a reply. Please, I really want this to work for my streaming setup on Twitch.tv. Thank you!

Hey Ernst , I use a UX2 Interface from Line6 and I have a question for you. Do you think I can send the audio from my gaming pc to my streaming pc? It kinda works.... because I'm splitting the audio that goes to my headphones and I'm sending that audio to my streaming pc but when i connect my headphones and my 1/4 cable (that goes to my streaming pc) into the splitter you can hear a static hiss but only from the stream side. And if you think i cant make it work whats a good mixer for me to start off, Thx!

You theoretically can do it this way, you do just typically need splitters etc. If you have hissing its likely just audio that needs to be grounded. If you pickup either a humbox (Behringer HD400) or Pyle Ground Loop isolator it'll likely fix it.

Ernst Blofield Thanks for the help, I'm looking to get the Behringer HD400 ,So i have a question for you, Should I use a normal 1/4 Inch cable and connect it to the Input 1 and then split the output into my headphones and Streaming pc? Or should I get a Male to Male 1/4 Inch Splitter that will split the audio from my Interface into Input 1 and 2 and then use output 1 for headphones and output 2 for streaming pc?

each buzz box (HD400) only has two mono inputs and outputs, so its 1 stereo (1 left, 1 right). So you would use a stereo to dual mono cable for both inputs then a dual mono to stereo out...so however many inputs you need each need a humbox, and if you wnat to split it you should do it prior to two hum boxes.

Followed this to the T and have an issue with mic quality.. the Stream PC uses the USB cable and sounds amazing. I use the 3.5mm for the Game PC and I'm told that in game and in Discord/ TS I sound very bad. Very low and/ or high but very distorted. I have been told I sound like a demon screaming in a mic through a pillow (?) but I'm confused as to why. I have the Behringer 1204USB and only use the output for the mic line going to the Game PC.

Well if you're using FX send you might have some FX added to the mic which makes it sound that way, if not you may simply just have your aux send 1 lines with too high of volume, this can lead to increased gain and be staticy and over driven.

So, I know I’m late but I need help. I am very new to all the audio stuff and want an Audio Technica at 2035 mic with dt 990 pro headphones. I was looking at the focus right Scarlett 2i2 but was told that it wasn’t good for headphones. Would this mixer be good for gaming, rap music, trap music and hip hop. Mostly gaming though and I need surround sound. Thanks for any recommendations.

Ernest, I have the X2222USB mixer connected to a PC used exclusively for internet radio broadcasting. Recently I connected my Ipod to the first stereo input channel and it plays through the phones perfectly. However, when I am playing live, the only way I can hear the Ipod on the air is when the mic button is pressed. I am using SAM Broadcaster software on the radio PC. What am I doing wrong or do you think it can be the SAM software?

I have the same setup and followed your updated diagram to the key. Also, set it up in the same way in both systems. My mic was beautiful for about 4 hours and then suddenly my mic is literally broadcasting every little thing it picks up. I was told to check it by friends so I listened into the main mix with my headphones (Sennheisser Game Zeros w/ 1/4 adapter) and I can hear everythingggggg Bird chirping, dog walking downstairs, etc.. Before that it was silent until I spoke. Any advice here?

It sounds to me like somehow the gain or volume in on the microphone was adjusted, or perhaps the fader itself was accidentally pushed up. What I would recommend is using the "solo" button to monitor the mic in line and adjust the black gain knob on the line you have your mic in until your "Check" sound is just barely at the top of the Green LED that is labeled "0"

If you have this connected to your Playstation through USB, do the sounds from your computer get sent over the Playstation game chat? For instance, if you are listening to music on your computer, does it get broadcast to the people in game, or is it just you who hears it? Thanks

You can do that, or you can not do that...its all how you route it. There isn't one way to do it. If you're sending just main channel through USB you can set it to just microphone if you wish.

Well, I think people miss the nature of what mixers really do and how they work. Often times people who buy entry level mixers like this don't have a good clue how to run them and so they set them up improperly. On top of that they're usually hooking them up to PC's if they're buying USB versions and generally don't run things like audio technicians do. The X1204 has the better pre-amps than the Q series, so no real need for the hate really, other than this mixer is $179, and it does what I need it to do.

Hi Eric, I've been following your guide on dual pc streaming, to which is an awesome guide by the way, and I've been having an issue. Sound going to the stream pc sounds like it's in an auditorium or cave. I purchased everything you had listed in your updated diagram including the Behringer x1204usb. Do you have any thoughts? I don't have any of the mics set to "listen to" and I did use the software video to make sure everything was set up, the only problem with that is there isn't a line in option for Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device 2 in OBS. Thanks in advance and sorry to bother you.
@baskinbobbins2718

OK, never mind on the line in issue. I had it plugged into the mic in on accident. So now if I just use mic/aux 2 in obs, the sound is fine. The desktop audio in OBS works fine as well. However, Mic/aux is the one with the auditorium sound, which is the microphone usb audio codec.

It sounds like the red knobs aren't turned down properly, or the orange knobs. If you're hearing a cave like sound it seems like there is some sent audio from aux send 2? did you perhaps plug in aux send 2 instead of aux send 1 to the wrong PC? If not, check the "RECORDING" devices on stream PC and make sure in the "LISTEN" tab the "LISTEN TO THIS DEVICE" is unchecked.

It seems I didn't have the red/orange knobs turned down properly. I had them the way they were in the diagram and now I have them positioned as this video does which fixed the problem with gaming PC sound going to stream PC via microphone usb audio codec. So that's great! Now the only problem is the cave sound coming from the mic. I have the gaming PC connected to aux send 1 and there is nothing in aux send 2. "Listen to this device" is not checked on either PC. The microphone works fine when used on the gaming PC.

Very helpful video, after searching on the internet for a mixer that would fit my needs I came to this video, however there are still a couple of questions if you don't mind. My set up consists of a pair of studio monitors, a microphone and headphones which I have all hooked up to my pc. My main concern is that it doesn't look like this mixer has an USB audio input to which I can hook up to an output on my monitors and headphones. So basically a USB connection that transfers audio Computer > Mixer > Headphone/Studio Monitors. Thank you in advance

First of all, THANK YOU for this video. I have a single PC setup, and, no matter what I do, I cannot seem to get sound out of the mixer into the PC. I can get sound FROM the PC to the mixer, but my mic (which is the only thing plugged into the mixer) just doesn't register anywhere via USB. What am I doing wrong?

If you are using a behringer USB mixer, make sure the red "USB to main mix" button above the phones/control room knob is pressed in. This sends all the main mix through the USB cable to the computer.

you could do it if you wanted to, but given the shear number of wires/splitters and routing, I'd probably at that point just have a separate headset for PS4.
