Using Discord on PlayStation
- You have already connected the MixAmp to the Playstation which will let you switch the
audio.
- Now, Go to the settings for the Playstation and click on Sound and Screen. Choose Audio
Output Settings and select Digital Output instead of Primary Output Port.
- Plug the USB cable into the base station of your PlayStation and plug the other end of the
cable into your Desktop. Make sure to keep your base station in PC mode while doing this.
- Open Discord on your Desktop and choose MixAmp as your input device under voice
settings. You can use an audio jack of 3.5mm and run it from your Desktop Speaker.
- Now return to the voice settings of Discord and change the output device to PC Speakers.
You must remember, the discord search will not work when you do this. No other audio can be
played on your desktop as well. If you are unable to hear anyone via Discord then you can correct
that by plugging in the 3.5 to 3.5 mm cable into the PC port and the AUX port into the MixAmp. Then
you must choose Speakers as the Output Device.
