Headset audio splitter for pc11/22/2023 Though I don't recommend the gc7 if you want to input the TV audio into voicemeter for recording since it doesn't output it into the Pc, instead it acts like a mixer itself so you don't need voicemeter, mixing your TV audio with any pc audio. I've personally got the optical out of my TV going into a soundblaster gc7 which accepts dolby digital 5.1 over it. I've been doing this kinda thing for a number of years now, possibly almost a decade and honestly I'd recommend just routing an optical cable into a sound card. Maybe I'll have a breakdown in a month over it and just buy it. Am I really the only one who could possibly care, or am I also really unlucky and both my devices has been the outliers in terms of functioning?Īppreciate any help, and I guess if there's nothing at that price point, just tell me the next cheapest. the people that do just don't care about the noise. I'm losing it over here because I guess either A. (And for the record I stopped using the soundblaster card in my old PC because even it had noise on the mic in line.) My last resort will be digging out a SoundBlaster Z card I have that has optical in and trying to find an optical cord in my house to run to it from the TV because I've read apparently that won't introduce noise. I just want a reliable device that will let me pull my audio from my TV over 3.5mm into my computer in stereo so I can enjoy that small bit of positional audio, with no ground looping and no static! I guess $50 is my max but really I'd prefer to pay $30 or less. Hell I even tried to find out if somehow my RTX card can act as the Arc/eArc receiver on the TV to pull the audio that way through the HDMI (then I could also put my audio through my Computer's surround speakers, but apparently, no one even wants to do that so I can't even find a resource that says if you can! (guessing no but, eh, coping.) Apparently the Behringer 222 exists that can, but honestly I've read it pulls noise as well! I just don't get it is all! I understand the headset mic is a bit of a different device, but if a probably $30 device can do it, why does it seem like the ones I've bought cannot? Now, I understand line in is different than a mono mic input, and that neither device I've bought has been $30, but it just seems like there isn't a device that is that price point that can do what I want. My HyperX Cloud S's have no static on the mic pulled into my system through the included USB dongle. I still hate the slight bit of noise, and a weird other noise that goes away if I touch the ends of the cable, and C. I don't want to pay, I'd prefer just one device that works. You might ask - why not just get a ground loop remover, well, A. A second usb audio interface that I just got today after doing more research - better, but picked up what I assume is a "ground loop" of a pulsing buzz, also features just the littlest bit of noise that is still present, might be ignorable, but I'll get to that. One usb audio interface - bought off amazon, had a terrible persistent tone on mic and line in inputs - returned.Earbuds underneath headset - too uncomfortable, makes it more difficult to hear friends.Not ground loop noise, but just general noise. TV to line - as previously stated, the line-in port unfortunately has a layer of noise.Switch to line-in - This prevents the capture card from hearing the device (and the line in has noise.).So, with that pretext out of the way, let's get to what hasn't worked: I came to the idea, why not just use the TV's headset port to listen through my computer's line-in? That would be extremely minimal if any lag, and I could route it through my pre-existing voicemeeter setup. I also sometimes stream the game through a cheap capture card. During this, my friends can hear the game when I talk and just sometimes it is picked up. The switch comes through the TV output, and I have a headset on for voice communication. I sometimes play switch whilst I am talking to my friends on the computer. Wasn't sure whether to post this here or Etc, but here goes.
