Syrinscape ProTip #08 - Using Syrinscape with Discord for Online Play

Cheers! To clarify, I’m not using roll20 for sound atm, just for maps. If it can be done with just discord that’d be ideal.
I’m just about to head out of town, will get back to you next week.
Thanks! :slight_smile:

Sounds great. Good news on roll20 too. Will make it easier. Should be a 5 min fix… Talk to you when you are back. Safe travels!

Hey guys - I saw the bit about the Spotify issues and worried that would make this method moot. But it looks like there have been some responses here after the Spotify change - so I have some hope. I can get voicemeeter to allow me to hear syrinscape and speak but those in chat are unable to hear syrinscape.

If anyone thinks they can help me out with it and wouldn’t mind helping with some troubleshooting that would be amazing.

I’m a little concerned it may be my headset or something similar at this point.

Hey, Poe. I can’t jump in voice, but I can help in my text chat. The things I will need are as follows:

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you streaming or just sending sound to players? If you jump in my discord and post screenshots of the following I should be able to help:

Voicemeeter
Windows playback and recording default settings
Discord voice settings

Happy to jump on and try to help for a bit

Do you go to any of the big Cons we do? I need to buy you food and beer!

I need to go! I’ll definitely have to find one to attend. Would love to meet you guys in person.

What was cool = I’d been saying the same sort of thing to the legendary @HECook for ages… and then this last GenCon she (and her bae) made it to the show. We did drinks and food and hang out. It was lovely.

So let’s intend to do this and it WILL happen.

Hey there. First of all I love this idea and hope to get it to work. What I am having issues with:

I have Hardware input 1 on my MIC with only B1 selected… I have no option for ‘cable’ on hardware input 2, and not matter which selection I use, my players are getting a small echo from themselves.

In Discord, is it possible to get the Syrinscape to play constantly without disabling push to talk? I would like the music or sounds to be continuous but not have my mic wide open.

If you have any time to help me out in discord I would love you forever.

Thanks!
Mike

Just getting to daughters soccer game but will see if I can hop on later tonight to help.

Hi there. Was any solution found to the echo on Discord after? I’m getting the same and it’s starting to cause serious frustration. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

@mjbridge

You should not have an echo. The reason people have echoes is that there is something amiss with their setup in Voicemeeter and how they are sending their sounds. I’m going to be in and out today, but if you want to hop on my discord and pm me your setup I should be able to troubleshoot. What I will want to see (if you are willing) are screenshots of the following:

discord voice settings
voicemeeter settings
default playback and recording devices in windows

That should be a good start. Also let me know if you stream as then I will need your audio settings for OBS or whatever software you use to check those. If you don’t stream, but only send sounds to players it will be easier. If you use a second instance for discord (one for voice and one for sounds), send me the voice settings for both. Thanks!

No problem at all. He is all ready to go now! I’d post the solution but as you know each of these setups is based upon what each person is trying to accomplish so there really is no “silver bullet”, just a number of ways to skin the proverbial cat. Its working for him now so game on! :slight_smile:

Right, I’m going to risk reading/sounding like a complete newbie (not far from the truth), but I cannot seem to get the discord link to work (all it does appears to do would be to send me to the “home” screen on Discord), and opening it via the browser gives me what appears to be your chat window, but nothing I post there actually shows up. I’m guessing it might be because you’re not currently active or something, and my being in Britain doesn’t help.
Anyway, I’ve posted the details (I hope) you need to this page : http://mjbridger.com/?q=content/syrinscape-discord-setup
Thanks again for this.

Well heck. I helped a guy yesterday in my discord with a very similar screen name and thought it was you! Let’s try this again. I’ll see if I can try and post the discord link again as I’m definitely active in my channel.

Really strange. I tried the link you sent and I get an error on the page that says access denied. Here is the link again to my discord. You should be able to accept and sign up. Haven’t had other issues and have had several people come to my server recently. Fingers crossed!

And that’s why we call him the Technomancer!

No in all seriousness, we have so many awesome people here like @lordgwydione that are willing to go out of their way to offer technical help, soundset suggestions, general advice and heck even build custom soundsets on demand! We are extremely fortunate to have such a fantastic community and so many people willing to give up their time to help their fellow gamers

Thank you to you all and may you always roll crits! :slight_smile:
