GO XLR User Manual
4. Understanding Audio Channels
Instead of showing up in your computer’s operating system as a single device
with multiple inputs and outputs, GO XLR shows up in your computer as
several different audio sub-devices dedicated to different elements of your
overall livestream.
4.1 Sound>Playback Tab
These different sub-devices will each appear separately in your PC’s
Sound>Playback tab:
Sound>Playback tab
These Playback sub-devices carry the following types of audio information:
•
Chat
—voice chat audio from services such as Discord or Skype
•
Game
—audio from your videogame, such as explosions, special effects
sounds, or alert noises that originate inside the game
•
Music
—audio from music applications running on your computer, such as
Spotify, Windows Media Player or iTunes
•
Sample
—audio that has been sampled in GO XLR plays back into your
stream over this channel
•
System
—this channel serves as a catch-all for when perhaps you
have a particular video game that won’t allow you to choose a specific
output device
4.2 Setup tips
To set up your audio devices in the Sound>Playback tab, use the right-click
option on your mouse to take the following assignments:
