So, this is a fresh article from Australia regarding the new audio mixer. One thing came up with me, that he sort of addresses, and I'm hoping someone in the community is able to answer.
The article link: https://www.well-played.com.au/razer-audio-mixer-review/
The author mentions:
"Admittedly it did take me a while to get it all going with my microphone, an Elgato Wave:3 that interfaces via USB rather than either of the analog audio inputs available on the Audio Mixer. Most of the blame for that goes to Windows itself though, which can be incredibly unclear about what sounds are playing where, but after a bit of fiddling and trial and error I managed to convince the mixer to take control of my mic input despite it not being directly attached which is pretty exciting."
Does anyone have any clue how he managed to get the USB mic to be recognized by the mixer? I couldn't figure out after days of trying, and support has gone silent on me regarding it. I'm utterly baffled why it would be incapable of using USB microphones such as the Seiren Pro, Mini, X, or even headset mics if that what the user is using. The detailed instructions PDF mentions "USB-powered microphones," which support is citing as how they support it: Take a USB mic and plug it into the PC for power, then route a 3.5mm audio lead to the front port of the mixer.
The only way that mic exists AFAIK is where there's an on-mic 3.5mm port for zero latency monitoring. Not optimal.
You'd think you could map Channel 1 (or whatever) to "System Mic", so it looks at the default input of the PC, whatever that audio stream would happen to be. But that doesn't exist in the dropdowns of the mixer configuration.
I reached out to the author of the article, and they were kind enough to reply. He said he wasn't able to reproduce what he did as it stopped working, so he's having to juryrig this USB mic thru a 3.5mm adapter and using the front port for now (original article is quoted above, so he amended it necessarily).
Any thoughts? This would be a staggeringly huge oversight on Razer's side for lack of support of the next wave of broadcast-capable microphones (USB has proliferated greatly over the last five years as noise isolation and signal interference reduction has improved). While I have an XLR mic (and a good one), I'd be remiss to not use my Razer mics... on a Razer mixer.
Someone throw me a bone here. Any ideas on how this could be made to work?
