In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how to use a single pair of headphones to manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. This setup allows users to play games on their PS5, listen to YouTube music, and communicate on Discord without switching headphones or purchasing expensive equipment like the GoXLR or Astro MixAmp. The method works for both wired and wireless headphones.
Key steps include:
1. Connecting the PS5 to the PC to split the audio.
2. Using a UGREEN product to separate line in from line out.
3. Utilizing two aux cables and grounders to avoid static interference.
4. Plugging the aux cables into the appropriate ports on the back of the PC.
5. Installing VoiceMeeter Banana software on the PC to control the audio mix.
The speaker promises to provide a detailed diagram and link to the VoiceMeeter Banana software, ensuring users can easily follow along.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how to download and set up the software required for customizing audio settings, specifically using VoiceMeeter Banana. They provide a link in the description for the necessary downloads. The speaker instructs viewers to set VoiceMeeter input as the default playback device and ensure it is set to 48,000 hertz to avoid audio issues. Similarly, they guide setting VoiceMeeter output as the default recording device and adjusting it to the same hertz. The speaker emphasizes the importance of installing a virtual audio cable with administrative rights for it to function correctly. They briefly explain that VoiceMeeter Banana allows users to manage different audio inputs and outputs individually and proceed to demonstrate how to set up a microphone input using the WDM audio driver.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to set up audio for a PS5 using a specific system. The process begins by locating the PS5 in the system and identifying the WDM line cable connected to the system’s back. Users can rename items by right-clicking and editing the names. The setup involves different outputs: A1 set to speakers (e.g., Logitech G560), A2 to headphones (e.g., Astro Mixamp), and A3 to default PC speakers, which function as the line out to the PS5. When users check their microphone, they notice audio levels for the mic but not for the PS5. The presenter instructs to adjust PS5 settings, ensuring both microphone input and audio output are set to a USB headset. Finally, to connect the microphone audio to the headset, users need to click on A3, linking the microphone to the headphones’ microphone jack.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates setting up audio configurations on a PS5 and PC. They connect a microphone to the PS5, allowing voice input to be heard through headphones by selecting the “a2” option or through speakers with the “a1” option. The same procedure applies to hearing PS5 audio either via headphones (selecting “a2”) or speakers.
For PC audio, users have the choice to route audio through gaming speakers (a1) or headphones (a2). The section also covers integrating Discord with the audio setup. Users need to use a virtual audio cable for Discord, selecting “WDM Cable Output” to reroute audio through a voice meter. They then configure Discord to use the desired microphone for input and the virtual cable for output, allowing control over where they want to hear Discord audio (headphones or speakers).

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to adjust the volume controls when using VoiceMeeter Banana, particularly focusing on how to enable volume keys to work with the audio setup. The instructions involve setting the volume keys for level output A1 in the menu’s shortcut key section. This setup allows users to control the volume on their speaker system or designated A1 output. The presenter concludes by summarizing the tutorial, mentioning that it helps users listen to audio from both PS5 and PC simultaneously. He offers support for any questions and states that additional steps for streamers will be covered in a future video.
