Question / Help Audio Monitoring Whilst Streaming From Xbox -> PC (Complications)

Hello Everyone!

I don't post very often, but I find my self on these forums for tips regularly. Thank you in advance for everyone's hard work helping folks on here!

What I'd like to achieve: Audio Monitoring.
Why this is hard: I'm streaming from an Xbox

Here are some more details:
The setup:
- OBS -> Windows PC -> Monitor1
- Xbox One(Astro headset for party chat) -> Capture Card -> Windows PC/Monitor2
- XLR Microphone -> Scarlet Interface -> Windows PC
While playing with my friends and streaming I currently have on the Astro A40 headset (Party Chat) AND speak into my Rode Microphone (Voice Capture for Stream)

The Complication:
- I have a USB headset plugged into the Xbox for party chat purposes. Thus preventing me from using my scarlet interface for Mic Monitoring.

I'm curious if there is a process, technique, trick and/or life hack for me to 1) speak with my friends on xbox live 2) Have microphone monitoring.

In order to achieve this, I realize the headset that I am wearing ultimately needs to be connected to the PC running OBS... which would then eliminate my party chat ability.

I've tried a couple different configurations... but I'm not technician or pro! I could really use some advice! Again, big thanks to all you out there participating in these forums and sharing your knowledge!

- Thomas
