So somehow my XLR mic is going out over the stream but not to my co-host whom I'm communicating with via Google Hangouts or Skype. We did a test stream this morning and I would tap the stick mic and my boss who was tuning in on YouTube said he could hear the direct mic taps (good news) but my co-host only heard me thru the internal/built-in laptop mic (bad news).

New issue is my co-host, whether we tried Skype or Google Voice, could not hear me through my XLR mic which is plugged into the JVC camera (which is plugged into BlackMagic/Thunderbolt). We actually were using Google Hangouts to connect for a voice call, is there a marked difference? Took me awhile to realize GV is Google Voice, ha. If you've got one device that can only use a specific sample rate, set everything else to use that rate, including OBS. You also want to add it as an audio input source if you try to add a source and nothing shows up on the dropdown, you probably chose Audio Output source instead.Īlso, check and make sure that all your devices in Midi Setup are set to the same sample rate, and that OBS also uses that sample rate. This always makes it clear what you've got in your scene for sources. In my experience, don't use the Audio pane in OBS add explicit sources to scenes. You will also need to add your microphone separately, as Skype will only be sending its output to this device.

Set Skype to use your LoopBack Audio virtual device as its output, and then add that device as a source in your OBS scene. I haven't tried using Loopback with Google Voice and I don't use Skype anymore, but I bet it would work with Skype.

Why bother adding as a source if you're going to mute it?
