Music in Chat issues

[Tessa_Tease]

Hey all,

I searched the threads and couldn't quite find what I needed, so I'll ask my own question. If I missed it, lemme know and I'll look harder

I am having inconsistencies in people being able to hear the music I am playing in my room. What are some ways to ensure people can hear what I am hearing and also hear me? I love the nights when everyone else is also grooving to my music.

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you likely have a background noise reducing setting on. What microphone are you using?

The one built in to my cam. Still fairly new at this, every day is an adventure. I'll check that setting for sure.

What cam do you have then?

I'd say the best way is to use airpods or whatever wireless equivalent, and then have your sound setup in OBS so that your viewers can hear sound from your computer directly. With that they can hear your music perfectly and you can optimize your mic settings for your voice.

Personally, I found my Logitech c920 to have a garbage mic. I bought a Yeti mic to plug into my USB drive & it works great! Definitely worth the investment if you have about $150-$250 to spend on a sound upgrade. There might be amazing mic alternatives that are cheaper, but I'm unfamiliar.

Thanks everyone for the help! Using OBS I've been able to successfully capture my vocals and whatever music I'm playing on separate tracks. It's been a great improvement!
