Is Stereo Audio Capture possible on Twitch using an Apple Mac?
I am having trouble capturing stereo audio in my game capture card. The Capture card advertises "Stereo" yet seems to want to go into 96 kHz Mono.
Originally I wanted to mix my surround sound into headphone surrounds using a Turtle Beach DSS1 and output that.
There are 2 outputs, a USB A Female output and a TRS 3.5mm output.
I couldn't get the USB output recognized on my Mac, which is a 2018 Mac mini i3 with OS 13.0.1
I could get audio inputs into my computer in TRS mode, but there are some weird properties.
If I plug a stereo input, both OBS and my Operating system recognizes that as Mono.
If I separate the 2 lines to the Mac into 2 different headphone ports, on Twitch, my broadcast gives off a high pitched squeal and makes the game almost inaudible.
My streaming program is Open Broadcast System. OBS. I use it to show multiple cameras at once, and non every third Thursday of the month, I put the left eyes in red, the right eyes in Cyan, and do an Anagluyph 3d broadcast.
There are many devices for "in streaming". Apple TV being one of them. But I don't know any other way to "out stream" a show on Twitch. There s no Outstream console I know of, The only operating systems that OBS works for is Windows and Mac, and there's some people in the house who won't do Windows. Even if I wanted to, there are security concerns. If apple doesn't do Stereo on live game streams, then there's no "virus free" way of streaming out in Stereo (or even headphone surround) with OBS.
Any one got some suggestions on how to get my game footage in Stereo, and then from there, I'll work on getting it in headphone surround.
One Apple tech person told me that Stereo inputs is considered a Pro feature, and I have to buy a Pro upgrade of some sort to access stereo inputs.
Others suggest my capture card is not Stereo to begin with. Can anyone recommend a USB capture card that works in Stereo without an upgrade?
BTW, All I need are Stereo (2 track uncompressed) inputs for headphone surround because a Turtle Beach DSS1 takes Dolby Digital and converts it into Dolby Headphones, a 2 track soundtrack that sounds in surround when listened to in over the ear headphones..
I'll take whatever works and is combined cheapest and easiest.
Do I have to go into the virus filled waters of PC land in order to get my stereo inputs streamed on Twitch?
