    Ext. Sound Card/ DAC / Mixamp


    Hey there,

    I'm using the Headset beyerdynamic MMX300 with the Astro Mixamp Pro TR (gen3). Now I want to change the DAC to a Creative Soundblaster G6. Now after a lot of reading I got the information that no DAC has a passtrough for partychat exept the mixamp and the
    the turtle beach TAC.

    So my question why other Manufacturer aren't supported and if it's possible to realize my plan with the G6. My idea would be to work with Y-cables or adapters.

    So my mic would be connected with the controller and (maybe with the xbox chat adapter)

    and the sound/output should pass through the DAC.

    Would that work or other ideas for a really good DAC with supported partychat.

    :)

    Hello all,





    As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions
    you might have.





    Thanks,

    Brad

    I am in the same boat with a similar set up. It is as if microsoft has to have a license agreement involving a lot of money. Yet they give it to astro with a complete joke of a headset (gen 4 a50s) that I wish I could return.

    That being said have you come up with a solution? I was also thinking about trying to use the companion app but that may not work.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.

    But it's not quite correct.

    When I want to use the G6 or many other DAC's you only get game sound = output but chat isn't possible and not supported by MS.

    Also confirmed by Creative support.

    My idea and plan to realize it with an Y--Adapter/Cable will not work anymore since an update of nov 18.

    I found another thread here on the Forum with the same problem and explanation.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/chat-to-headset-through-external-dac/45a79ba0-632f-47bf-aaae-2482e97c2935?auth=1&page=2

    Unfortunetly it's a shame that some hardware/DAC's aren't supported and also no update will be released to fix this problem. I'm a really big fan of the xbox since the first generation but that's a thing I can't understand why we have to use the astro mixamp
    or the turtle beach TAC.

    Now I have to hope that xbox deploy a patch someday.

    From what I can see on the official page https://en.creative.com/p/amplifiers/sound-blasterx-g6

    seems that this will works without issue with Xbox One
