Set up Blue Snowball Mic for Twitch Stream Chat and Ingame Chat Xbox One S

You probably won't get the Snowball running in a way that you can talk in-game without party chat (so you can also talk to PC and PS4 players), and Twitch.

While
Voicemeeter Banana (a virtual sound mixer) can do a lot of things, there are certain limits due to the way you need to get sound in and out of your in-game chat.

First of all, the Snowball is an USB microphone, so you can't use it on the Xbox console at all. That means, you can't talk to the in-game chat. You might work around that, by also wearing a regular Xbox chat headset, and thus talking into the Snowball and
the chat headset the same time.

The Snowball will then send your voice to the streaming app to Twitch, while the standard chat headset will send your voice to the regular in-game chat.

Depending on how you stream you might have to set the sound output for chat sound to "headphone and speakers" or at least "speakers only" instead of "headset only".

I think the Blue microphones are all USB microphones, so I'm not sure you'd be able to use it for stream chat on your PC and game chat on your Xbox console at the same time. It's probably possible if you use the Xbox app on your PC for party chat though.

Thank you for your assistance.

We solved half of my problems. My audio is now streaming to twitch. However, game chat is not. Last week on I was able to stream my mics audio AND my IN GAME chat audio to twitch directly from my Xbox series S, meaning my PC and Playstation party mates audio was making it into my stream.

That is not happening now. Slightly less frustrating but still quite.

Ive been using mixer for a few years now solely because it has the ingame chat overlay in xbox.. it would be very say to not have access to the new microsoft streaming platform. Twitch is an overall better choice due to being able to choose your resolution
and bitrate to output a clearer stabler stream but it doesnt have a chat overlay. Very disapointed if im forced to use twitch microsoft.

In the Twitch settings while streaming you can choose to mute your mic so that your voice won't be heard on your stream. Your friends will still be able to chat with you.

Regarding your second question, even with the microphone on, the twitch stream does not pick up the voices of other people in your party. I actually found this forum trying to find a way to make twitch pick up the voices of my friends as well as my own.
