7
Software Setup
Windows
1. Download and install the latest M-Game software (with embedded audio driver) from
m-game.com.
2. Connect the power and USB cable to the M-Game Solo and press the power button.
3. Connect your separate headphones and microphone, or combined headset, to the rear panel of
the M-Game Solo.
4. Open the M-Game software and select either the SET MIC from the HOME tab and follow the
on-screen instructions or go to the SETUP tab and select the HW METER button so its lit red.
a. Under Microphone, turn Phantom Power on or off depending on whether you’re using a
condenser microphone (Phantom Power on) or a dynamic microphone (Phantom Power off).
Note: Headset microphones do not require phantom power.
b. Speak into your mic at the loudest level you expect to speak in your stream and begin turning up the Gain knob on
the rear panel of M-Game Solo. You'll notice that the Mic Fader LEDs on M-Game Solo will light up when you
speak, showing the incoming signal. Continue speaking into the mic and turning up the Gain knob until you see the
Mic Fader LEDs flash red 3 times. If you see the Mic Fader LEDs flash red 3 times, this means M-Game Solo's
Mic Gain knob is set too high. Turn down the Mic Gain knob until you no longer see the LED flash red 3 times.
You’ll want to get the Mic Fader LEDs as close to the top LED without the LEDs all flashing.
Note: If you are using a low gain mic (like a SHURE SM7B or
ElectroVoice RE20) you will need to use the M-Game software's BOOST
function. You can find BOOST in the Setup tab under Basic Microphone
Settings. Simply speak into your mic at the loudest volume you expect to
speak in your stream and turn up the Boost knob until the Mic fader’s
meter in the M-Game software shows the top LED lit red. Slowly turn
the Boost knob back down until the Mic fader’s meter in the software no
longer shows red. You can change the BOOST level from Off to +24 dB.
Note: Now that you’ve setup your mic you can turn off the HW Meter
button in the M-Game software to return the Mic fader to its default LED
behavior.
c. Adjust the EQ, Compressor, Noise Gate, High Pass Filter (HPF), and Deesser settings to
get the best sound from your mic.
Note: You can also use one of the Mic presets in the M-Game software to automatically
configure your mic’s settings. These mic presets are found in File > Setup > Load
Microphone Settings.
5. In the SETUP tab's HARDWARE section select what source your Game audio is coming
from.
6. Open your game, chat, M-Game software, streaming software, and any other programs you
will be running in your stream and ensure that their audio is playing.
7. Press the Windows key and then type Sound Settings into the search bar. Alternatively, right
click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select Open Sound Settings.
8. On Windows 10, in Sound Settings, under Sound Output select System. This will ensure any audio that you're not
routing specifically to the M-Game Solo's Game, Chat, or Sampler fader will default to be controlled by the System
fader. Under Input select Stream. This will set your broadcast/stream mix as your default output source. In Sound
Settings under Advanced Sound Options, select App Volume and Device Preferences. This window shows every
audio source running and where that audio is being sent to and from (its Routing). This allows you to send audio from
different programs to the M-Game.
On Windows 11, in Sound Settings under Sound Output select System. This will ensure any audio that you're not
routing specifically to the M-Game Solo's Game, Chat, or Sampler fader will default to be controlled by the System
fader. Under Input select Stream, this will set your broadcast/stream mix as your default output source. In Sound
Settings select Volume mixer. This window shows every audio source running. You will also be able to select where
that audio is being sent to and from (its Routing) by pressing the down arrow next to the app's volume slider. This
allows you to send audio from different programs to the M-Game.

8
9. App Volume and Device Preferences (Windows 10), and Sound and Volume mixer (Windows 11), next to the game
that you are running, select the Output dropdown and select Game (M-Audio M-Game Solo). Once this has been
selected, your game's audio level will be controlled by the Game fader on your M-Game.
10. Select these additional routing options from the Output dropdown in the App Volume and Device Preferences:
a. Chat app (Discord, etc.): Select CHAT (M-Audio M-Game Solo) to route Chat’s audio to the Chat fader.
Important: If you're using a Chat application like Discord, set the Audio Input to Chat and Output to Chat. This will
ensure that your Chat audio is sent to the M-Game Solo's Chat fader, and that your Mic is only sent to the Chat.
b. Music: Select SYSTEM (M-Audio M-Game Solo) to route music program audio to the System/Aux fader.
Note: You can route additional computer audio sources to the SYSTEM channel if you would like to control
additional streams of software audio.
11. Open your streaming/broadcast software, such as OBS used in the example below.
12. OBS, in the File > Settings menu, select the Audio tab.
a. Under Global Audio Devices set Desktop Audio to Disabled, set Desktop Audio 2 to Disabled.
b. Set Mic/Auxiliary Audio to STREAM L/R (M-Audio M-Game Solo Stream). Make sure that Mic/Auxiliary 2, 3, and 4
are all set to Disabled.
c. In Advanced, set Monitoring Device to Default. Click Apply and OK.
13. Check OBS or other software you're using to record to make sure that your individual signals (Mic, Game, Chat,
Sampler, and System) signals aren't clipping (going into the red) and are balanced. An easy way to check this is by
pressing all of the Mute buttons on the M-Game hardware and turning up the fader levels one at a time, first checking
the mic level, as that's what you want your viewers to hear loudest, then proceed with the other M-Game faders.

Setup
Microphone Settings
1. HW Meter: This button changes the Mic LED/fader on the hardware to show what the mic gain is to aid in setting the
optimal gain level. Unticking this button or exiting the setup page will toggle back to normal mic fader mode and turn off
the mic LED at the top of the page.
2. Phantom Power: This toggles phantom power on or off, providing power to condenser microphones. Condenser
microphones require phantom power. Dynamic microphones and headsets do not require phantom power.
3. Boost: This knob adjusts the amount of digital gain applied to the incoming mic signal. If you are using a low gain mic
(like a SHURE SM7B or ElectroVoice RE20) you will need to use the Boost knob. You can change the BOOST level from
Off to +24 dB. Check OBS or other software you're using to make sure that your mic signal isn’t clipping.
4. EQ (On/Off): This turns on or off the EQ settings for the incoming mic signal.
5. EQ: This three-band equalizer helps to adjust the low, mid (with a sweepable mid frequency to boost/cut the signal to
find the “sweet spot”), and hi frequencies to achieve a good sound mix.
6. Compressor (On/Off): This turns on or off the Compressor effect for the incoming mic signal.
7. Compressor: This knob reduces the loudest parts of the audio signal and makes the quieter parts sound louder. It
actively changes the dynamic range of the mic signal by automatically reducing its level if it exceeds a certain level.
8. Noise Gate (On/Off): This turns on or off the Noise Gate effect for the incoming mic signal.
9. Noise Gate: This knob can be used to reduce hum or unwanted background noise from the incoming mic signal.
10. De-esser: This knob can be used to reduce the amount of sibilance (S, F, X, SH, and soft C’s sounds) common in
vocals.
11. HPF: This (High-Pass Filter) knob can be used to remove unwanted low-end rumbles. This knob is useful for removing
the keyboard and desk impact noises.
Mute Button
The Stream, Chat, Alt, Main Out, Phones, and Sampler outputs each have an icon which
can be toggled on or off. Toggling them on indicates that the MUTE will mute the
microphone's signal to that output when engaged.

15
Routings
When the Routings tab is selected you will see what audio input signals are being sent to the different audio outputs. From
here you can choose how the inputs and outputs are mapped. Select what audio channels you want sent to your STREAM,
CHAT, ALT (additional USB output), SAMPLER, MAIN OUTS and HEADPHONES.
1. Input Icons: Each “input icon” can exist in two different modes, toggle mode and virtual fader mode. Right clicking
(Windows) or secondary clicking (macOS) on each icon brings up a menu that can switch between the two modes.
Secondary clicking can be changed in macOS System Preferences.
2. Basic Mode (default): In this mode, clicking on an icon will toggle it on or off. Off icons will appear grayed out, which
will mute that input to the corresponding output (at the end of the row).
3. Virtual Fader Mode: In this mode, a smaller version of the icon will be shown along with a virtual fader and numeric
level indicator. When in Virtual Fader Mode, the input ignores the physical fader for that output and allows you to make
a completely virtual mix to the output (at the end of the row). Using virtual faders is helpful if you would like to hear a
different volume mix in your headphones than what is being sent to the stream.
4. Output Icons: The Output Icons are used to represent the various USB audio outputs and hardware outputs on the
M-Game Solo. Right clicking (Windows) or secondary clicking (macOS) on each icon brings up a menu that can activate
the following options. Secondary clicking can be changed in macOS System Preferences.
5. Headphones: Activating this will send that outputs audio to the headphones.
6. Basic Mode: Selecting this will change all of the icons from Virtual Mode to Basic Mode.
7. Virtual Mode: Selecting this will change all of the icons from Basic Mode to Virtual Mode.
8. Set All Muted: Selecting this will mute audio inputs being sent to the output.
9. Set All Unmuted: Selecting this will unmute audio inputs being sent to the output.
10. Copy Mixer To: Selecting this will enable you to copy and paste the audio input settings being sent to the currently
selected output to another output.

Sampler
Samples (1-6) This menu accesses the sample button functions. The sampler page is broken into four sections: The
Sample List, the Sample Button Control, the Menu Bar, and the Sample Editor.

17
Sample List
This is a list of the current available samples.
Sample Control
This gives a visual display of the hardware
where you can configure the sample
buttons.
1. Bank Toggle: This shows a bank
selection toggle to determine which
bank you are affecting.
2. Frame: When a sample has been
assigned, these frame areas will show
a sample’s corresponding image and
Button Type (Play Mode).
3. Name and Clear: Below each floating
frame is the name of the sample. You
can drag samples from the sample list
onto a button or into the image frame,
and it will associate that button with
the sample. The image will fill the
empty frame, the name of the sample
will appear below, and the button type
will appear in the small frame at the
bottom right of the image. Right-click
(Windows) or secondary click (macOS)
on a button to bring up an option to
clear the button.
Note: If dragging a sample into the frame or onto the button, the sample will replace all of the samples in the current
Stack.
4. Selecting a button: When a new sample is dropped onto a button, it will also select that button. Click on a button to
also select that button. When a button is selected, its settings appear in the Button Control panel.
• To assign a sample to a button: Drag the sample from the sample list to either the frame or the representation of
the button. This will clear all current contents for the button (except LED settings) and assign that sample to that
button. While dragging a sample, if the mouse is over a button, you can visually see the contents of the button
underneath before releasing the mouse and affecting a change to that button. To cancel, move the mouse off the
button and stack areas and release to cancel the potential change.
5. Stack: In addition to dragging samples directly onto buttons, a sample can be dragged onto the Stack list for a selected
button. Samples can be rearranged inside of a stack by clicking and dragging. Right click on a sample in the stack list
to pull up a menu with move up, move down, and remove options. Double click on a sample in a stack to select it in the
editor and auto-select it in the sample list.
6. Button Types: The sample button types are:
• One Shot: Plays the sample one time all the way through.
• Tap Loop / Tap Stop: Plays the sample and loops it until pressed again.
• Tap Play / Tap Fade: Plays the sample and loops it. When tapped again it will begin to fade out.
• Hold Play / Release Stop: Plays the sample and loops it until released, at which time it abruptly stops.
• Hold Play / Release Fade: Plays a sample until released, at which time it begins to fade out.
