    Mic audio lag when streaming


    Hi,

    I stream directly to twitch from the Xbox series X with a wireless headset (turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2) and have terrible mic audio lag, around 1-3 seconds.

    The console is less then a year old, as is the headset.

    I don't use sleep mode or power saving mode. The console is switched off fully when not in use. There's no lag for the in game audio, just my mic.

    I also use a wired camera and the mic audio is also lagging behind that, again a good 2/3 seconds. This isn't an intermittent issue, every stream is affected.

    How do I fix this?

    :)

    Fortnite twitch game tchatting

    Hi , This is often a audio sync issue, your voice chat will be delayed due to stream protection to prevent stream sniping but if the game audio itself is lagging i would recommend restarting your console. This had happened to other steramers
    and players that game audio doesnt sync right.
    I don't have a lag. When i play with ps4 or pc players i'm the only one who listen and on the stream nobody listen them

    Headset + Controler = Chat Audio Only ???!??!

    I think that it has more to do with the amount of data that would need to be streamed from the console to the wireless controller and through the mic cable. With all of that time there would be a lag between the video on the screen and the audio in your
    ear. There have been some games that have had in headset audio. The one that comes to mind is Tom Clancey's EndWar where you would hear some battle information and chatter. You could even give some basic troop commands by speaking into the mic.

    Audio headphones/Turtle beach streaming mic

    Hi there,

    When the audio headphones are plugged into the AV receiver, there is game sound, but I cant hear anyone in my party chat. I only see their gamertag show up in the chat overlay. They hear me thru the stream mic just fine. In Halo 5, setting audio to Speaker,
    or to Headphones doesnt change anything.

    If I plug the headphones into the Turtle Beach stream mic, its onboard amplifier does a decent job driving the audio headphones, since the stream mic is powered via USB, but the amplifier is low quality by comparison to my AV receiver. I only got the stream
    mic so I could use my AV receiver to listen to my audio headphones in online gaming. I never expected or planned on using it to power the headphones.

    Can I even can plug the Sennheiser game headphones into the AV receiver and the Mic into the controller now? If this stream mic is already connected to the XBOX via USB, and chat is only available when the headphones are connected into the stream mic and
    both run to the XBOX wired via USB, is it correct to assume that PC gaming headphones with a built in mic also cannot be split (the mic connected to the controller and chat sound coming through the AV receiver)? Im starting to think both the headphones and
    the mic must be connected to the controller together, communicating to the XBOX wirelessly, or ill just get game sound through the headphones and no chat like I am niw with this set up?

    Audio Issue - Using Xbox Companion to Stream to Youtube via OBS

    Im also having this issue. I did figure out how to get my steelseries 9x to play party audio and my mic audio. I had to allow game bar access to my mic. My problem now is the game audio doesnt come through the stream.

    Mic not working in the xbox app and in party chat while streaming

    What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?
    Was that not covered in the OPs post?

    "I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

    "just not when joining a party during a stream."

    Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App
