IEPinball DTM software has its own stream plug in-

I\ve repeatedly said to keep the TXs and RXs as far apart as you can! 
and to keep the alignment of them the same.
I havenât been here for a while and hope you got an answer for this from somewhere already but the 405s donât transfer audio in monitor mode, which is what you use for streaming. I donât know about audio on the 240.
While streaming states, 2/3 of my cameras werenât transmitting audio which I thought was odd but that makes more sense if some cameras donât when theyâre being used in live feed mode (although that sucks). Whatâs interesting is the one camera that did audio was my old CX-130 handycam! The newer ones including the super fancy a6000 werenât giving any audio (maybe thereâs a setting).
Speaking of audio, itâs such a disaster in general and Iâm curious how people truly solve it. Just trying to do simple thing like have two wireless headsets connected and have audio pumped to both one (so both commentators can hear each other and the game) is apparently not something thatâs possible with current technologyâŚ
Do people just pump ONE audio source into OBS like a Rodecaster and have everything go in and out of there? How would you capture game audio? Use an HDMI audio splitter, feeding one end into the Rodecaster?
My solution isnât cheap. I have a sure wireless lapel mic at the rig to get game sound.
Cheaper option are these. Plug the receiver into the rode caster.

I ran into this problem a year ago when I had 3 of the same usb c capture cards. OBS would pull video from all of them, but would pick 1 source at random to get the audio. The other camera audio feeds just didnât exist. Sometimes I could figure out which one would get the audio by plugging them in in a certain order to the computer.
Now I do direct line out with a cheap pinwoofer board into the spike 2 board for game sound. And then 1 camera for ambient audio and my voice.
I think the issue may be if the video capture cards are identical and share the same device name? Iâm on macOS.
For hearing the audio from the rig for commentators, I imagine you would need to turn on monitoring of the rig audio source in OBS. You would need to pick an output thatâs a line out from your computer. Then probably feed that in to your mixing board that has the commentator headsets. Then I imagine the commentators can hear themselves and the obs monitoring of the rig source in their headsets.
I have a vocaster two which is really cheap compared to the nice rode boards people use. So my guess above is all theoretical.
We use a rodecaster pro 2 solely for three wired commentator headsets which has the facility to have adjustable monitor volumes for each headset. We handle the game sound simply via hdmi through the score cam with a directional mic. We use a blackmagic deck link quad card which just spits out 4 video and 4 audio streams straight into OBS. The rodecaster is a gamechanger for managing mics!

How do you get the audio from
OBS into the Rodecaster? Via the headphone jack of the computer?
Then you also have to feed the Rodecaster back into the computer to capture the commentator mics, right? Someone needs to make a diagram for all this ha sounds confusing
Would be so much easier if you could just have three wireless headsets and output to all of them but like I said apparently multiple audio outputs just arenât a thing supported by windows 
In the perfect world probably better to avoid OBS monitor entirely and strip the audio from the camera capture and send that to the Rodecaster directly (before sending the video to the computer)
Once the rodecaster is plugged into the computer that feeds all the audio sources that are in the rodecaster to OBS. Commentators, rig, etc.
If your audio is coming from one of the cameras, just select that source in obs and turn monitoring on so the commentators can hear the rig as well.
How does the monitoring get to the commentators? You said Rodecaster is plugged in but isnât that for the Rodecaster to feed audio TO the computer not the other way around?
The commentators headphones are what do the monitoring. Just set the obs audio device to be the rodecaster. Then anything you set to monitor will go through any headphones that are plugged into the rode caster.
Settings-audio-the select the rodecaster from the drop down.
This is telling OBS how you want to listen to any and all audio that is being fed to it.
Huh? How is the Rodecaster physically connected to the computer I guess is my question if it can send audio into OBS but also somehow get audio out of it
If the Rodecaster is connected via USB, it should be able to used both as an input device (rodecaster->PC) and as an output device (PC->Rodecaster).
Depending on your setup, this might be what you want to do:
You can change the monitoring device in OBS->Settings->Audio to be the Rodecaster output. If your game audio is going into your PC capture card over HDMI, you can output that back to the Rodecaster by right clicking the HDMI audio source in the OBS Audio Mixer->Advanced Audio Properties->Change Audio Monitoring to Monitor. This should spit the game audio out to the Rodecaster.
On the Rodecaster, to avoid echoing the game audio back to OBS, you may need to use the mix-minus setting to ensure the game audio doesnât get output back to your PC. But this shouldnât be necessary if OBS source is set to only âMonitor Onlyâ and not âMonitor and Outputâ.
Hope this helps

Thanks! I didnât realize that was possible, no wonder people use the Rodecaster!

All usb mixers work this way, fyi. But the rodecaster is definitely the best one Iâve ever used.
As always, Mike does a way better job of explaining these things. Haha

I just want to underline that whatever device you use for monitoring in OBS it has to be connected and powered on when you start OBS. Iâve also had issues switching monitoring device while OBS is running. This is the first item on my checklist when setting up for a tournament with commentators.
My $0.02 on tournament rig audio in general. I have 3 x RODE Video Micro II plugged into a Maker Hart mixer. The output of the mixer goes into the most expensive camera line-in (if your camera doesnât have line-level, use a line to mic attenuation cable). I use the fourth channel on the mixer for a handheld wireless mic to interview the winner and close the stream.

Hey Pin People. I live stream a lot at home, and Im going mobile.
first time using accsoon HE. i have 3 for 3 sony cams. my QUESTION for the hive is: what is the best way to power these both on the rig itself AND at the base station.???
I have a large onboard battery pack on the rig and wall power at the broadcast commentary booth.
what is the best most reliable power distribution method??
i have a usb c power âsplitterâ and i was going to plug it into the AC on my large power bank with USB c wires run to the transmitters
For the receivers I use this with some dc barrel to usb c power cables.
For the transmitters I use ROMOSS 60k power banks with usb c to usb c power cords. One for each transmitter. I plug one of the cameras into each power bank as well.
