The following article is for a product that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status. Because of this, the information below may not match what is possible with current Elgato hardware and software. |
This guide will show you how to set up the Astro A50 with your Elgato Game Capture HD so you can record party chat in recordings or streams.
Items Needed for Setup
• Astro A50 headset system
• Elgato Chat Link
• Astro Gaming 2.5mm to 2.5mm cable
• Microsoft Xbox One Headset Adapter
• 2.5mm to 3.5mm Cable ** (included with Microsoft Xbox One Headset Adapter)
• Xbox One Controller**
**Note that no matter if you have a new controller with a 3.5mm jack or an older generation controller, the Microsoft Xbox One headset adapter is needed. The adapter includes a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter which is necessary for this setup. Users have reported online that generic 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapters do not work with this adapter, so deviating from this setup is not recommended

3) Click Device Settings.
