How to Use Audio Radar with a Dual PC Setup | HDMI & DisplayPort Guide

Can I Use Audio Radar with a Dual PC Setup?

Yes, Audio Radar is fully compatible with dual PC setups, but proper configuration is required to ensure multi-channel audio is routed correctly while keeping chat or voice audio separate from game sounds.

Setup Instructions for Dual PC Configuration

1. Ensure the Game Audio Signal Comes from the Gaming PC
  1. Audio Radar requires an input signal to process multi-channel game audio.
  2. You can use either HDMI or DisplayPort as your primary output:
    1. HDMI – Directly connect your gaming PC’s GPU HDMI out to Audio Radar’s HDMI in.
    2. DisplayPort – If you prefer to use DisplayPort for your main display, you can still route HDMI from your GPU to Audio Radar as a secondary output.
Info
If you need help setting up DisplayPort with Audio Radar, follow our PC Setup Guide | Display (HDMI or Displayport).

2. Use Voicemeeter to Separate Game & Chat Audio
  1. Voicemeeter Banana (or Voicemeeter Potato for advanced setups) allows you to:
    1. Separate Discord, Xbox Game Bar Chat, or other voice sources from game audio.
    2. Ensure only in-game sounds trigger Audio Radar’s LED light bars.
    3. Route audio to both your headset and Audio Radar for an optimized experience.

Conclusion

Audio Radar can be fully integrated into a dual PC setup by ensuring:
  1. The game audio signal is routed correctly via HDMI or DisplayPort.
  2. Voicemeeter is used to separate voice chat from in-game sounds.
  3. Audio routing is properly configured to prevent false positives.
