Scenario
1 Dedicated Capture PC
1 Dedicated Gaming PC

Capture PC is running OBS and receiving audio and video via gaming pc HDMI.
Capture PC has Nightdevs FollowAlert and Streamtip notifier

Problem
When I recieve a donation/new follower, the audio and visuals play properly on the capture PC, but I always miss them since The notification sound doesn't play in my gaming headset which is on my gaming rig.

Is there a practical solution to this?
The only thing I have came up with is to wear earbuds attached to my capture pc so I get the notification sounds.
But then I'm wearing 2 sets of headphones.

Anyway, I'm probably just being a whiny user over this.

The only thing that comes to mind would be running a 3.5mm cable from speaker out on the encoding PC to line in on the gaming PC, but that would require a separate sound card and some trickery or the notification sounds would feed back on the stream.

Analog surround headphones and use the capture PC's audio out as the rear or side audio in on the headphones.
