12 GO XLR User Manual
4.4 Audio devices and GO XLR
Once each of these sub-devices has been set up and assigned to a GO XLR slider,
each slider on GO XLR can independently control its assigned audio device.
Each slider may then be used to adjust that device’s volume within the nal
livestream stereo mix.
To further illustrate this separate-and-mix concept, if you feel that your Chat
audio is too loud, you simply reach out to the assigned slider on your GO XLR and
move the slider downward to decrease the Chat volume relative to the Game,
Music or Sample audio.
If the Chat audio is too quiet, you can reach out and move the Chat slider up to
increase the Chat volume (or you may also grab the Game, Music and Sample
sliders and move those sliders downward to decrease those sub-devices’ volume
relative to the Chat audio).
4.5 Enabling Surround Sound
A virtualized surround sound can be enabled on the Game and System channels
in the Windows Sound panel, and this surround sound algorithm should work
ne on most stereo headsets.
To enable surround sound for GO XLR, follow these steps:
1. Open the Windows Sound control panel.
2. Right-click on the audio device you want to use with surround sound.
3. Choose the Properties option from the pop-up menu.
4. Go to the “Spatial sound” tab.
5. Select “Windows Sonic for Headphones” from the pulldown menu to turn on
the 7.1 virtual surround sound function.
6. In your game, also make sure to turn on the game’s 7.1 surround sound
option, if available.
Once activated, audio from your game will be mixed down to a virtualized
version of surround sound on your headphones.
If you have purchased the “Dolby Atmos for Headphones” function for Windows,
you may also select the Dolby algorithm, and the audio will similarly be mixed
down to a virtualized surround sound for your headphones.
4.6 De-Select the PC’s Internal “Listen” Option
To avoid an unintentional doubling of your audio, you will need to go into
Windows under the Sound>Recording tab and make sure that the Windows
“Listen to this device” option is switched o for your designated Default Device.
The “Listen to this device” option is the internal method by which Windows
allows you to monitor audio, but the processing latency inside your PC is slower
than GO XLR’s internal audio processing, and so this slight delay inside the PC can
create an unintentional doubling of the audio.
To de-select “Listen to this device,” follow these steps:
1. Open the Windows Sound control panel.
2. Click on the Recording tab.
