## Using in OBS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Add audio mixer mic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In your audio mixer, you should have a `Mic/Aux`. If you dont, figure out how to add it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Update the properties of Mic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In your audio mixer, selec the menu button on your mic option. Then Select `Properties`.
|
||
|
|
A window should pop up in which you will pick the device you use as a microphone. In my case its my `Fifine usb mic`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Update the advanced audio options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do the same as the previous step, except go to `Advanced Audio Options`. You will see `Mic/Aux`.
|
||
|
|
You will also see a table header called `Audio Monitoring`. Go there, and change the dropdown from `Monitor Off` to `Monitor and Output`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now close that dialog
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Update OBS advanced audio settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the right hand side of the default OBS view, you will see a fiew options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Start Streaming
|
||
|
|
- Start Recording
|
||
|
|
- Studio mode
|
||
|
|
- Settings
|
||
|
|
- Exit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Choose `Settings`. A dialog will appear.
|
||
|
|
Navigate to the `Audio` tab on the left hand side.
|
||
|
|
Scroll down until you see a section called `Advanced`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Change the `Monitoring Device` option to be the new virtual device. Should be called `virtual`
|
||
|
|
Click apply; close.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Fin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you should be able to go into something like Discord and select your input device as the new virtual device.
