  Hey, just use the HEKs 

Plug a secondary amp into the Mixamp and go!
It's an experience [well I am using a different device, but still

 

]

Hey, I tried googleing but I'm not sure what HEKs are. Also, I don't have a Mixamp, but a similar unit by Turtle Beach called the DSS.
 
Thanks for trying to help, tho.
 
 
 
 
Here's my original post, maybe that will help...
 
"Guys, I'm on ps4 and running the HD598 into the old DSS, mic is a cheap clipon, into a splitter, into controller, with chat audio "Output to TV or Amplifier" option enabled.
 
The DSS drives these things crazy loud and distortion free, however when I play with friends, chat is so loud I have to turn everything way down, effectively meaning I can't soundwhore with friends.
 
Changing the sound mix to Supercrunch (BO3) made the game louder, and helped a bit, but not enough.
 
For some reason the chat volume adjust doesn't seem to work when this option is enabled.... what gives?"

Game and chat audio needs to be on two separate inputs (usb and optical) to work. Route your chat via usb and it will work fine.

Awesome! What would be the best way to plug my mic into a usb? Or do I need another mic? I have a Someone Meteorite usb mic... I tried that way back when I first got my ps4, but it was way to sensitive for chat... picked up the AC blowing, and the game sounds from my open-backed headphones.

If any of you AKG owners are interested in a spare coiled cable exactly like the one that comes with the K712, do shoot me a pm with an offer. Works with the Q701 and K7XX. I may also part with my boompro adapter.

Shipping off the K7XX, today. It will be dearly missed

On the bright side, TH-X00 should be here by the weekend

[Fegefeuer]

Creative did via Twitter.

  Creative did via Twitter. 

can you link?  just went through sound blaster account and creative labs twitter account post histories and don't see it anywhere.  Not doubting you, I just can't find it and wanted to read the details myself.
 
*UPDATE - never mind.  saw they said consoles is stereo virtual 7.1 surround. :/

 

[inseconds99]

Does the G5 support chat on ps4 and Xbox one?

 

[brenttw]

Hmm so would the new astro mixamp tr be a better choice than the new G5?

Yeah. No dd.......

Booooooooo

Unless Creative adds DD/DTS via firmware update it seems that the mixamp might be a better option as far as surround quality goes. Sound quality wise the G5 wins.

I stumbled on this thread after just buying the Philips X2/27 Fidelio when they were on sale at Amazon and wanting to get them setup with my Xbox One.  I've been researching the virtual sound devices and just wondering if anyone has been a test mule for this china made model?
