This will allow me to produce music in my phone and hopefully use my Shure mic on the XBOX. Since it only takes in TRS, I ordered this, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure if it will function with the Apollo and the iRig at the same time though.

The Irig HD cannot patch into the TRRS plug on the Xbox controller.

The 1/4” input on the Irig is not TRS.

As Darryl pointed out, you need to take some time to get informed before you make any decisions.

Wait... you ordered the iRig HD 2? That is not the iRig 2 that James pointed you at. While I disagree with the iRig 2 as a recommendation it is at least an analog box that could provide *some* signal path you need. The iRig HD 2 is completely useless for you, its a digital interface for an instrument input and a DAC for a headphone output, its a lump of plastic unless connected to an iOS device and even then will not do what you need/makes no sense here.

Nonetheless, I’ll keep the iRig since Mercari won’t take things back. I am looking into this cable https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06Y29R6..._eMTRFbJ58Z32K and all the Dual TRS to 3.5mm cables I’ve ordered

I’ll keep you guys posted. The iRig 2 HD was only $60 (https://merc.li/6qZ3ChBNb) and perhaps I make use of those loops on Garage Band. The book looks interesting, good read during the holiday season while out of grad school

Darryl mentioned something about the Apollo’s grounding, I’m also looking into that as well

What? Why do you want a 3.5mm to 3.5mm TS straight cable? Or why do you want a 3.5mm TRS to dual 1/4" TR insert cable?

You seem to just be blindly looking up stuff that has the 1/4 inch and 3.5mm holes or pointy things on each end. If for example you needed a 3.5mm to 1/4" insert (Y splitter) cable I would have pointed you at that. You need to either follow the *exact* advice you are given or even better order that book I pointed you at and understand what you are doing.

If you absolutely cannot make up a custom cable, and can live with multiple cables strung together try these two together:

https://www.amazon.com/Smartphone-He.../dp/B08FBQ6TG3

https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-303-.../dp/B000068O3G

While that combo should work you might be at the mercy with some detail of exactly how these are wired. And all this assumes you want to connect a headset to that 3.5mm socket in the Xbox combined with the Mic signal from the Apollo.... and you don't say want to route the audio out the XBox back through the Apollo console/to monitors etc.

Again the way I'd do this would be to buy a 3.5mm TRRS to 3.5mm TRRS cable and cut it in half and use one half to make up a custom cable. Less connections and I have total control of how things are wired.

I did it!!

It was all in the Elgato capture card. As soon as I took the Elgato chat link cable and plugged it in the Elgato capture card, I used my dual TRS to trrs and plugged it in the Elgato as a headset/mic would. The rest was history, the Elgato is a 4 pole y cable m, therefore all I did was plug it into my controller and BOOM! The Joe Rogan experience is now live! I can even hear my Roland FA-06 on both my streams and my XBOX Party chats. Time to sample some crazy voice/FX clips!

I think it’s because the XBOX is sending visual and audio (HDMI) into that capture card. #HugeLifetimeMilestone lol
