Need some technical assistance....
Thank you for stopping by. My adventures to setting up the perfect stream has been a TON of work, from a stand point of settings with pc, obs, etc. and trying to get things running smoothly. I believe I have everything working out nicely after tons of trial and errors and the help of some of my viewers (thank you if you guys/gals are reading this!)
Here is where my trouble is;
-I purchased a second monitor to use for twitch chat/OBS/twitch alerts, etc. -I use my main monitor to play the video games from console. -I have an issue with my sound output(from desktop) to my stream channel, It is wayyy too loud, I have tried changing every audio setting I can think of (from monitor, to desktop, to OBS settings.....everything, ive also changed the output) and the sound level is still the same and loud, it drowns out my mic.
I know there are a lot of people who probably have theirs setup similar but I cannot figure it out.
my setup
Console -> HDMI splitter-> one HDMI to monitor and one to Elgato HD60 card->elgato card to PC tower.
Now that I am thinking of it, I am wondering now if I am a dummy, because the only thing I have not tried is lowering the sound in the actual Elgato HD60 program....I think I may have answered my own problem LMAO...did not even think about this option, but who knows, it may not even work.
I still would love to hear peoples thoughts.

You shouldn't have the Elgato software running at all if you're streaming using OBS so that shouldn't change much. If I were at home, I'd look at my Elgato settings in OBS to let you compare mine to yours but I won't be home until this evening.
Should just be capturing device audio from the Elgato in OBS and it should run the same as your desktop audio if you were streaming from PC.
Try unplugging everything and plugging it back together after 30 seconds or so?
Thank you for the response!
I had thought about this, but when I am using HDMI instead of display port(my main desktop input) the sound doesn't register in OBS like it does on Display port.(where the green bar constantly moves with sound)
So I am only wondering if I have the db too high in the Elgato software. So I will test this once I get home after work and hope I have success!
Note: I only have OBS running and not Elgato program(I learned the hard way if you run elgato and OBS, it does not play video through OBS)
Let us know if you get this resolved. I'm curious what the issue is.
I absolutely will because I will be celebrating, since this issue is been a real pain!
