  1. Separating game audio and party audio in the Xbox Console Companion app


    So this requires a little context, basically I've been experimenting on ways to record higher quality gameplay with some friends without using an external device (besides my PC).

    Originally my friends would use the Twitch/Mixer app to stream the gameplay and then download the VOD afterwards, however, this causes the video to be pixelated and the audio to be unreliable. The solution I've arrived at is using the Xbox Console Companion
    app to stream my Xbox to my PC over the local internet, and then using OBS to record it on my PC.

    This leads to the problem that I currently have, I want to try to record the audio in different tracks so that I can decrease the game volume when it gets louder than our voices or vice versa, but OBS recognizes the party chat and the game stream as the
    same application.

    Does anyone have any ideas about how I could record them separately? (I have already considered using discord, but Xbox seems to have higher quality audio and might make game chat/recording convenience weird)

    :)

    Sorry but I have to know, the party chat on PC don't already have a mixer to adjust the volume?

    Honestly the best option here for separating the audio would be Discord (or another 3rd party chat program) and I'm quite surprised that you say the audio on there isn't as good as Xbox because from my experience audio in Discord is much better. You may
    want to check your settings in Discord and make sure it's all good there.

    I think the best solution you could possibly try,

    Use a mobile device with the Xbox App and join the party with that, even with a secondary xbox account, just to record the party chat(if you need to of course, then under OBS you can set that device as one sound source)

    Then just record the game play through the companion app like you have been doing.

    If you need other ways to split sound's up but from various devices, Windows 10 does have an advanced Sound options under sound settings. You can adjust the sound output/input and volumes there, or you can use Voicemeter Banana to separate sounds.

    Thanks for the fast answer. I will likely just end up using discord, but I figured I would see if anyone else had any ideas since some of my friends don't have PCs so using discord would be a little awkward because they would need to connect using a phone
    and then come up with a solution for splitting the headset audio.

    It would be really cool if there was a Discord app on the console, though. (Working in the background similar to the Twitch or Spotify apps)

    Yes but it considers the party chat to be the same audio source as the game audio because it's using the same app. I could technically just edit the game volume in it's settings, but I was looking for something that I could use to fix it in post.
