I have a very specific question for YT gaming commentators, hopefully someone already with the A40s.
I have an Elgato and currently record PS3 gameplay. I have way too many wires and outdated equipment so I'm looking to purchase the "Astro A40 Audio System 2013" but have a few questions.
The top pic shows my current setup. Bottom pic shows my ideal setup.
Actually the biggest and most important question I have is whether or not the A40 can do all 4 things at once: hear audio & send chat via PS3, hear audio & send chat via PC.
I have read the manual and confirmed there are separate ports for this. For PS3 audio it uses the digital optical connection, and for PS3 chat it piggybacks off the component AV connection. For PC it can connect several ways, and for PC mic output there is a specific jack for that. So there are no hardware limitations but I have yet to confirm whether or not the Mixamp will allow all 4 combinations at the same time.
At the very least, I would like to confirm that the A40 can hear audio from PS3, hear audio from PC, & send audio to PC at the same time. (but unable to send chat to PS3).
If anyone has any experience with this type of setup I would appreciate any info. Thanks so much.
