Requirements
Stream has to be able to hear me, the game, TeamSpeak, etc
I need to hear dictated comments, TeamSpeak, and the game w/o delay
Problems
Bouyomi is necessary for games that require constant attention
PVR and Bouyomi are both locked to the default playback device
I don't want to listen to the game audio through the PVR because it lags
Mic has unwanted background noise
It's only noticeable on stream due to how XSplit constantly transmits
normally I run a second instance of TeamSpeak (Linux) to filter it out
but I need Bouyomi so my headset needs to be plugged into Windows
Hardware
Windows 7 computer
stream station
Linux computer
not necessary anymore, currently using as a Twitch.tv monitor
used to be TeamSpeak instance #1 but I need Bouyomi-chan
Hauppauge HD PVR
captures PS3 video and audio (720p component, RCA)
SteelSeries Siberia V2 headset
Takes and mixes TV audio via 3.5mm and computer audio via USB
Powered splitter
outputs PS3 audio to my TV which outputs to my headset
outputs PS3 audio to Win7 via RCA to something fat to 3.5mm
Audio Sources and Settings
VAC line 1
Default playback device - the stream and I both hear this
picks up Bouyomi and any other impossible to designate audio e.g. YouTube
gets picked up by XSplit automatically "Stereo Mix"
plays back to my USB headset via the Windows 7 mixer
VAC line 2
audio meant only for the stream gets dumped here
is listening to TeamSpeak #2 directly (anyone who's talking including me)
is listening to the PS3 (via the mic jack and Windows 7 mixer)
does not playback to anything via the Windows 7 Mixer!
raw PS3 RCA audio to mic jack
the powered splitter supplies the raw audio w/o any lag
plays back to VAC line 2 via the Windows 7 mixer, volume is set to 1%
TeamSpeak instance #1 (Voice Activation Detection)
records myself and plays back others like a normal instance
playback and capture are both set to my USB headset
TeamSpeak instance #2 (Microphone muted)
plays back myself and everyone else on TeamSpeak
playback is set to VAC line 2 for the stream
mic is muted so capture setting doesn't matter
ArcSoft Capture Module
outputs PS3 video & audio from the PVR to the desktop
muted since the PVR audio lags and the USB headset can get a direct feed
(*) Problems to test and fix?
PS3 audio is being captured directly now so the game audio may be ahead of the video?
There shouldn't be any echos or reverb now, will find out next stream
Other Software
Anko-chan
Comment viewer, handles kotehan,
warns when stream is about to end, etc.
Bouyomi-chan
reads stuff out loud so I don't have to check my monitor
Flash Comment Generator
overlays comments via Anko-chan to XSplit for archival purposes
