AVerMedia Account Setup
Creator Central Log in
Once you have created your account you can go ahead and sign in on the
Creator Central app. As we keep developing Creator Central, we will be
adding features that will be linked to this account. After logging in, let’s make
sure the audio settings on your PC or Mac are ready to go.
User Interface (by Section)
1. Sidebar: Quick access to functions, such as Hotkeys & Widgets, Audio
Mixer, Widget Store, Settings, etc.
2. Display section for the Hotkeys & Widgets list or Audio Mixer controls
along with Audio Routing Table.
3. Add, copy, and edit hotkey and mixer profiles.
4. Customizable control panel for hotkeys, widgets, and function buttons.
5. Audio track (6 knobs) volume level indicators.
6. Knob, hotkey, or widget configurations.
Windows 10 Audio Routing Settings
Make sure you have updated to Windows 10 20H2 version, to avoid any
hotkey mapping issues.
Once you install the drivers your audio settings should look like this. On the
“Playback” tab, you’ll need to make the “Chat” track your “Default
Communication Device”. Right-click over the chat track and select “Set as
Default Communication Device”.
On the “Recording” tab make sure that “Chat Mic” is selected as default.
If you want to route different virtual sources to the “SYSTEM”, “GAME”, or
“CHAT” channel, for example, Spotify, right-click on the audio icon on your
Windows taskbar, select “Open Sound Settings”, look for advanced audio
settings there you can select where to route each virtual source.
macOS Audio Routing Settings
Go to system preferences > Sound > Output tab, and make sure that “System
(Live Streamer AX310)” is selected. This will route all system audio to the
“System” digital track on your Creator Central.
Now, go to the Input tab and make sure that “Chat Mic (Live Streamer AX310)”
is selected.
Since macOS doesn’t have a “Default communication devices” remember to make
the changes on your voice chat software audio settings.
From your Mac/PC perspective these tracks are considered outputs:
-
System (Live Streamer AX310); controlled by the “System” Knob
-
Game (Live Streamer AX310); controlled by the “Game” Knob
-
Chat (Live Streamer AX310); controlled by the “Chat” Knob, should be used as
audio output from your voice chat software (Discord, Skype, etc.)
And these are considered inputs:
-
Chat Mic (Live Streamer AX310); is the audio track that should be used for your
voice chat software.
-
Audience Mix (Live Streamer AX310); the sum of all 6 audio tracks on the AX310,
and should be selected as the main input for your Streaming software.
When Audio Mixer is set to “Single Mix”, this mix will be the same as the
“Creator Mix”.
When Audio Mixer is set to “Dual Mix”, this mix will be an independent
one and will have different volume levels for all 6 tracks (Won’t be the
same as “Creator Mix”).
-
Creator Mix (Live Streamer AX310); The audio mix that goes to your headsets.
Audio Routing Table
Located in the Audio Mixer control section (2), this illustrated table provides
an overall, easy-to-read audio routing for all six tracks. It also includes volume
levels and quick access to Output settings.
Hardware Settings
You will find more settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner
of the Creator Central app. Here you will find settings to manage your
streaming accounts, the touch panels settings and RGB lighting controls, as
well as audio output settings.
You can select which audio output is routed to the “LINE OUT” port in the
output settings.
This setting can be used if you want to separately record different mix
outputs, share to your streaming partner's headset, or route your mic to a
gaming PC if you wish to use in-game chat instead of discord.
Audio Mixer settings
Microphone Settings
Select the MIC knob and you will be able to make adjustments to your mic,
gain, noise gate, Equalizer, etc. or if you have connected an XLR condenser
microphone that requires phantom power (+48V) you will enable that there
as well.
By clicking on the different processing options you will open more settings
for each section.
If you want the process mic audio to also be routed to “Chat Mic” (the audio
going to your voice calling software) you can set it from the “Output” settings.
Single Mix Settings
The Creator Central audio mixer’s default is “Single Mix”. This means you will
have one audio mix going out to the “Headphones output port”, “Line out
port”, and to your stream (the “Audience Mix” virtual audio input for your
streaming Software).
The “MIC” knob will control mic audio going to Master Mix and chat mic.
You can control the mic monitoring (Mic playback) with the Monitor widget.
In “Single Mix” the monitor widget will enable and disable the microphone
monitoring (playback) in your headset.

instructions.
If that doesn’t work then download and unzip the “obs-websocket-1.0.1.zip”
file. Copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio
installation folder (either C:\Program Files\obs-studio or C:\Program Files
(x86)\obs-studio).

Download and run AVerMediaOBSWebSocketServerInstaller_v1.0.1.pkg.

unchecked.
If you choose to use a password with your OBS websockets, remember to add the account in
the Creator Central app settings and type in the password.
