Desktop audio and Desktop audio audio 2 without mixing

Hello!
I want to stream and record at the same time. I have everything set up, but I'm having a problem with the audio sources (if it's a problem at all). On the stream, I want everything to be heard - microphone, game sound (system sounds) and music (for example from a player or browser), and for the recording, my idea is to record the audio tracks separately, so that I can edit them later in a video editor.

In OBS the settings are:
Settings - Output - Stream - Audio Track 1
Settings - Output - Recording - Audio Track 2, 3 and 4
Settings - Audio - Desktop Audio - Headphones (the device I listen to everything on)
Settings - Audio - Desktop Audio 2 - audio interface (as a second device for the music I plan to play during streaming/recording)

In Audio Mixer on Advanced Audio Properties I have 3 devices:
microphone - track 1 and track 2 (stream and record)
desktop audio - track 1 and track 3 (stream and record)
desktop audio 2 - track 1 and track 4 (stream and record)

In Windows settings, the settings are:
Main device - headphones (device on which I listen to everything)
In System - Sounds - App Volume and Device Preferences - Music Player/Browser - Audio Interface (as a second device for music I'm thinking of playing while streaming/recording).

After I started streaming and recording everything is fine. Everything works on the stream - microphone, sound from the game and music. The recording after I open it in a video editor has 3 separate audio tracks that I can edit.

Problem 1: In this situation, I can NOT hear the music I played on my headphones. It's fun on the stream, but I still want to have fun while listening to the music.
Problem 2: In the settings of OBS - Audio, I enable monitoring and select the headphones, and in Advanced Audio Properties I turn on Monitor Only (Mute Output), I HEAR the music, but Desktop Audio 2 mixes with Desktop Audio according to OBS. In the video processing program, the game sound and music are also mixed into one track.

Is there a solution to the problem or do I have to choose 2 of the options?

Thanks in advance! :)
