The workaround proposed by Parsec is super janky as it consists of using two Discord accounts, a audio driver to loop back audio out to audio in, and having to subject your friends to incredibly annoying echo’s while talking. This is fine for most of the games I play except for Warzone, and since my friends are playing on console they can’t use something like Discord for comms. Parsec can pass thru audio output just fine, but currently does not support mic input. Star Wars Battlefront II and Grand Theft Auto V performed quite a bit better since they rely less on low latency input and overall the experience was great, except for one complaint. I opted to leave the Parsec Vsync on since I already experience a ton of screen tearing in Warzone (it pretty much maxes out the performance of my GTX 1050 Ti) and didn’t want to exacerbate the problem when I’m streaming it. Now there is definitely some input lag and this is due to both the video encode/decode latency and Vsync enabled in Parsec (but still disabled in the game). #PARSEC AUDIO ECHO SOFTWARE#I finally fired up Call of Duty Warzone and wow is this piece of software impressive. Parsec automatically has pass thru Xinput support, so no additional config was needed for my controller. Both SCP and Shibari make the PS3 DualShock controller appear as an Xinput controller, specifically an Xbox 360 controller, so games that have native controller support can work pretty much flawlessly. I already have this working with my desktop using and old version of SCP DS3 but I need to pass through the input on my ThinkPad, so I used Shibari since I was unable to find a working version of SCP DS3. I generally play with a PS3 controller, which is not supported natively in Windows 10. My ThinkPad is connected to this router through a 802.11ac 5 GHz connection, courtesy of an Intel Dual Band 2×2 8265 wireless chipset. The desktop is connected via Ethernet to a gigabit switch to a Spectrum “high performance” router. My setup is pretty simple which involves my Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop (specs on my About page) and my Lenovo ThinkPad E750. The setup was dead simple, just sign up for an account and setup Parsec on a host a client machine and you should be able to connect. ![]() #PARSEC AUDIO ECHO 1080P#I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking that delivering 1080p at 60 FPS with around 4-8ms of latency would be impossible but I was pleasantly surprised to see that Parsec delivers on it’s promise of low latency desktop streaming, and then some. Although Linus and his team were using Parsec for video editing, Parsec brands itself as an in-home game streaming solution that allows users to remotely connect to their PCs with super low latency video encoding and decoding, making it ideal for gaming. I knew that RDP would not be a solution for gaming, but that’s when I remember watching a Linus Tech Tips video on Parsec. Now, I’m not a competitive or hardcore gamer by any means but being able to play Call of Duty Warzone with friends has been a go-to social activity while we are all social distancing. #PARSEC AUDIO ECHO FULL#Despite having 2 laptops and full RDP access to my desktop that I use for work and school I still had one use case unaccounted for: playing PC games. For the past 4 days I haven’t been able to sit at my main desk space due to the air conditioning in my room not working. Sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bluetooth.I generally don’t review software but ever so often I will use something that works so well and is just incredible in terms of implementation that I just have to talk about it. # OPTIONAL: Use USB bluetooth dongle (disable onboard) Description =Bluetooth Auth Agent After =rvice PartOf =rviceĮxecStart =/usr/bin/bt-agent -c NoInputNoOutputĮxecStart =/usr/bin/bt-agent -c NoInputNoOutput -p /etc/bluetooth/pin.conf ExecStartPost =/bin/sleep 1 ExecStartPost =/bin/hciconfig hci0 sspmode 0 WantedBy =bluetooth.target # Run & config bluetoothctl (can also be used to troubleshoot connections - just run bluetoothctl and connect device) Load-module module-udev-detect tsched = 0 # Fix audio before you even get problems (still getting audio jumps over bluetooth) #PARSEC AUDIO ECHO INSTALL#Sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth bluez-tools # Install bluetooth & pulseaudio & bluez-tools (for autopairing/trusting) ![]()
