You have plenty of time to catch up and this one is real quick

only 10 min that's weird, why you mic wasn't working?

Not sure, I lowered game volume as it was still too high, will do some testing before next stream see if I can get things adjusted better. I also want to find a fast way to crop the borders so I can get it full screen.

What are you using to record tho? I think OBS could help you because you can modify the size of the canvas/screen (so that the excess space is not recorded)

I am using paid xsplit. I have tried custom resolutions. I know I can go windowed and set record area perfectly but want to avoid that nonsense.

Ohhh, okok. Well, hope you fix the screen thing for the next one my man.

Ok, figured out the mic.
I switched from an XBox 360 controller to one of my PS4 controllers. Windows switches the audio to the controller, so I fixed that back to my sound card but didn't realize it tried to use the contrller mic port as well so I had to switch that back to my USB mic.

Does that mean your xbox/ps4 controller has a mic inside? lol didn't know that.

Yes they all have a 3.5mm jack so you can plug-in headphones potentially with mic.

The problem is if you switch controllers it sometimes defaults to these and sometimes it doesn’t (if you unplug same controller typically) but since I switched to another controller it changed my sound devices.

They even have speakers which allows the controller to play specific sounds that would be close to player (like reloading) for a more immersive experience. I am not sure if the Xbox has that but the ps4 added it. It actually works well.
