Hello, I'm currently streaming from Xsplit. This is the problem. I am currently using headphones, and when I play SC2 or music through them, I can hear them fine. However, when I turn on my stream, there's close to no sound coming out through the player (streaming on twitch.tv, there is a very very small sound coming out if I'm playing loud enough on my headphones.)

I've already set my Input volume to the maximum, but it still isn't enough. I can roughly figure out the problem but I can't explain it in proper terms. But I do need someone to help me solve this... anyone?

these are the controls i have... HellGreen got my problem... look further down

Check your volume controls. If you don't know how to, please post screen shots of your XSplit main window as well as the volume controls in Windows.

Also, is this useful?

i have two volume controllers, one for my computer and one manual control for my speakers. for me, raising my computer volume and lowering my speaker volume does what you want for me.

Raise output master volume, and lower your headphones manually ("should" be a slider on the cord).
Your master output is very low which is what xplit is taking its audio from.

I've not used it myself, but people use a software program to re-route the audio streams within their computer. I can't think of its name off the top of me head but there are a few threads around with it.

You'd make 2 "streams":
make all "output" go into 2 streams
stream 1 -> headphones (lower it)
stream 2 -> xsplit (raise it)

I would still like to see the MAIN window of XSplit (not the settings) - the one with the volume bars.

Edit: The above poster is talking about VAC (Virtual Audio Cable). Not sure it can help here though.

Took a 3 second TL search for "audio"
http://download.cnet.com/Virtual-Audio-Cable/3000-2168_4-10067766.html

As i said,
output - line 1
|
line 2

line 1 -> headphones
Line 2 -> xsplit (or rather, set xsplit to use line 2)

May take some fussing with settings, but thats all you, i havn't had to bother with it ever

What kind of headphones do you have? It's just weird that they are so loud, that you have to set your master volume to ~10%

The reason your viewers can't hear anything, is because your output is set too low. The input is irrelevant for the sound (except for your mic volume).

Edit: Are you running WinXP?

Edit 2: If VAC doesn't work for you, have you tried to set master+wave volume to full, and turn down the game volume inside SC2? And yes, this will maybe hurt your ears if someone messages you in Skype

Xsplit doesnt take audio from input, it takes it from the OUTPUT, which you have at like 10%

Yep. If you increase your master volume slider, your stream volume will also increase.
