IS THE A WAY TO OUTPUT MY AUDIO WITHOUT MONITORING IT? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR MY VOICE OR MY MUSIC. I JUST WANT TO SEND IT TO THE PUBLIC TO LISTEN . I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN. ACTUALLY, MONITORING CAN CAUSE FEED BACK . HELP!
CAN YOU JUST OUTPUT AUDIO FEED WITHOUT MONITORING IT?

at least on my obs studio when the monitor is off, there is no sound to obs studio. let say if i turn off monitor for my mic and i want to stream to youtube, my voice will not broadcast into youtube. check it out. let me know . thanks
and if you want to broadcast your voice for from obs, it has to be outputted otherwise, the sound will not be heard by obs nor any other programs such as butt radio

Sounds like you have some wacky routing.
Are you the one that broadcasts from a different app, and not directly from OBS? If so, then OBS only has one viable output for you, which is the Monitor.
I have a rig that uses OBS's Monitor as its only audio output, but it feeds a DAW, and not the destinations directly. That DAW also handles all of the mics and other audio sources, and drives several different destinations independently with different content, including live speakers for an audience, my headphones, another instance of OBS, and a few others. That other instance of OBS takes its feed from the DAW, and passes it through unchanged as its only audio source at all. In your case, that might be the actual broadcast app.
The only reason that the first instance of OBS connects to the DAW, is because it's playing videos. As mentioned before, my mics go directly to the DAW, not OBS.
A physical console would work the same way, and each of the loopbacks that I need to get audio between apps, would turn into an ordinary, completely separate sound card.
Don't try to save some cost by using a many-channel interface for this. The channel count might be there, but you'll pull your hair out trying to assign channels of that single device. Much easier to have a bunch of stereo things and that's all they do...provided that they're not so cheap that even their serial numbers are the same! (don't sort by price and pick the cheapest) Each app connects to its own assigned sound card: done!

Also, make sure the the mic device (OBS source) is on the track that is selected for output (stream). It is important because, for example, on the screenshot above every source is mixed with everything and this mess goes to every track (while OBS will broadcast only one track that was selected in Settings > Output > Audio Track setting).
Setting the destination track for the OBS source can be done by checkboxes in main menu Edit > Advanced Audio Properties > Tracks column. If set - source mixed to track, unset - nothing goes to this track from this source.
Device for monitoring the audio should never be same to regular desktop "Speakers" device, especially if you trying to capture them back via OBS sources (global or user defined). The device for monitoring can be set in OBS Settings > Audio > Monitoring Device entry.
Global audio devices (that placed into each scene automatically, either you wish it or not) can be disabled in OBS Settings > Audio > Global Audio Devices section.
Some audio devices can't "speak" and "listen" simultaneously (Bluetooth devices etc).
If nothing helps, post at least log-file from your OBS session, maybe it will help to find out what is going on here:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...
OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...
