Its a good idea when playing audio, maybe a interview that you mute your primary mic, so your listener cant hear you type, or break wind, or slurp on your coffee.Īnd when the audio stops of course un mute the mic or the listener wont hear you.Īlso remember when you stream there is a delay so you want to make sure you don't have the stream on either or that will cause you problems, rely on your listeners in chat for information. So don't try and hit that volume key or the mac just won't understand what you want it to do. Ok when playing audio through note on the audio output settings it says the selected device has no output controls this is because the Mac has no way of knowing where the audio is coming from, so if you need to adjust volume whether it be a you tube video, OBS recording, piece of music, or any other audio source you can only control the volume on that. Once these are set go to you tube and play any video look at your input on your mac and OBS, does the bar move? If it does great thats what you want and you should have sound in your headphones. Then you want to go to the input tab next to it and select the ishowu audio capture. Ok then you are in your sound so go to output and select multiple output devices. Lets look at the output first, this is where you are hearing the sound think of the out as sound coming out I find that helps. So go to settings on your mac and audio settings. ** So for this I would make sure you have a twitch tv test stream and a listener to hand as you may have to tweak some of these.** So now the controls, the big difference with MAC against PC I discovered is the way you change your settings once you update your settings in obs they are saved, you don't change them in OBS you change in your own MAC sound settings. Now the first mic setting above that you need to go into the little cog wheel, go to properties and select the headset you are using and click ok You will then be back on the home screen and will have a second mic level showing now. First on OBS where you see the sources box, click on the + sign and you will see a list, you want the one right at the top which says audio input capture click on it and you will get a window like this.Ĭlick on it and another window will open, you want to change the drop down list to ishowu audio capture and click ok. So now what we must do is tell the MAC where the mic is so we need to open two channels. Ok at this point you want to go to your OBS and look at your mic level, you will see a mic level, but this will not work when you hit that start streaming button, because you have told the computer to source the sound through ishowu, so your computer is looking for that. Then we want to go to audio first on the left hand side of the screen, then you will see lots of different options, the only one you want to change is where it says Mix/Auxiliary Audio Device and change it to ishowu audio capture. We only use the mic controls in OBS more about that later. Once your obs is set up and running we want to set up the audio in it, this is very easy because the key thing with macs is we dont change any settings in obs once done, we leave it alone. When opened go to Multi Channel Output Device then you want to select ishowu audio capture and you want to select built in output, and you want to select your headphones this is where your external audio is coming from so your listeners can hear so you must select it.Īlso be sure on built in output and your headphones you select drift correction. Once installed go to apps - Utilities- Audio Midi Setup.Install the download, then go to finder, downloads and open the file and install it to your mac. ![]() The link will open a page that looks like this.
