Voice-Chat Passthrough -> How?

[H3llm4k3r]

Hi,
I'm actually playing Rust via Inhome streaming. I stream from my gaming desktop PC to my laptop.
I'm really happy about but I don't manage to get my microphone Passthrough into the in-game voice chat of rust.
I tried playing around with the valve streaming audio drivers, trying also to set streaming microphone on the server as voice chat source in steam setting but it will not work.

But as far as I know valve had released that remote mic feature to steam already.... So normally it should work.

What I'm doing wrong? Is there any special step to do?

I have heard workarounds such as running a very long cord or Skype calling into the host PC. It does not appear to be supported.

But WHY do i have a

- Steam Streaming Microphone

AND

- Steam Streaming Speakers

as audio devices listed in my sound settings?
There must be a reason.

Can´t i use the streaming microphone to sent my audio to my remote host?
Such a elementary thing and its not supported.

A lot of games have a need to use ingame voice like Rust.

Changelog says:

Added streaming audio drivers for microphone support and seamless 5.1 surround sound on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (a reboot after update may be required to activate driver installation feature)

Don't know about the new drivers, but I used WO mic on an android device for a while. Although it does have a little latency, it was better than trying to mime everything using only jump and crouch.

Right now i´m using Teamspeak to connect both PCs togehter. On the steam host machine i use teamspeak output as input for my steam ingame microphone.
Everytime it feels like a bad joke ................. but it is true...........!

[pheo]

I have tried to make it work, but I haven't found the way. I saw the changelog this thread mentions and I got all excited, but it didn't work. I also have streaming microphone.... Nothing so far.

I will never stop bumping this thread until i have an answer from the staff!

Glad to see I'm not the only one confused asf.. Why give the drivers and devices if there's no pass through? Going to be looking into this more, but this is rediculous..

Old thread, but is this still the case? Running into the same issue. Streaming between two PCs in my home, everything works except the microphone. What an annoyance.

Adding my frustration to this, as I just tried it for the first time last night so we could play some games with friends during quarantine, but our mic wouldn't work when hooked up to our HTPC. Is there any way yet to get voice chat to work on a client PC when streaming?

As you see this thread is 2 years old............
Some things are never going to happen..........
Half Life 3.............
Voice Chat Passthrough .........
And so on........

In case anyone comes here for a solution, I worked around this by using VB audio cable and a second discord account. I was using this for only VOIP ingame comms, not sure how it would play out if I wanted to talk to people in discord too.
