Question / Help Dual Audio Source streaming

Hello all!

I've been happily streaming with OBS for a while now, but now I've recently started streaming voice and have run into a problem!

I use an Astro A40 headset which counts as 2 separate audio devices. It connects to my PC via Optical and USB.The optical carries 5.1 surround sound and the USB is used for stereo dedicated for voice comms.

My issues lies in the fact that I can only seem to choose 1 audio source to stream, meaning my viewers get game sounds+ only my voice, or all the team chatter and no game sounds.
I figure this sort of thing must have come up before with people using dedicated headsets for comms and desktop speakers for games etc so I'm wondering how people have gotten around the issue?

I'm not really happy sacrificing and putting them both in one channel as it makes it difficult to balance gamesound/communication. It also means that Id either be reducing my game to 2.1 or expanding my comms to 5.1 which is just weird!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Speaking of rewrite - any ETA at the moment? Also is there a thread I can read/follow on it? I am really looking forward to it.
