Question / Help Elgato Game Capture HD Audio (Sync)-Problems

Hello all,

at first of all, I'm very sorry to post my problem here and please apologize my bad english.

I'm trying for so long to get this work and now I dont see any other way then asking you guys.

Situation:
I am trying to stream with OBS and PS3 / XBOX360 / OUYA (Elgato Game Capture HD). Its clear how to set up everything. No Problems so far... until...

Problems:

I can see the video and if i press a button i can see that the audio signal is send out to the stream (snyched). The Problem is, that there is a (normal) delay, so I have to look at my TV for the "live-version". I dont hear the sound of the PS3 over my headset.
Question 1: Can I get the audio signal from elgato LIVE (without delay) to my headset over OBS? I've tried many things like: "putting the headphone cable of the TV into my mic on latop" - It works, but now is the problem that the viewers do get both audio signals. The "live" one and the "video synced" one.

To shorten this up, the main questions are:
1. How do I get the live sound from PS3 on my headset (PC) over OBS? Or any work arounds? I need to hear whats happening on the PC and whats going on on PS3 :/
2. How to delay / sync the microfon (PC) to the PS3 video / audio?
3. How to delay / sync the webcam (PC) to the PS3 video / audio?

I hope you guys understand what I'm asking for.
Its possible, that my missunderstanding makes it soo hard, please let me know if you need any more information.

I love everyone who's trying to help, please dont hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.

Thank you guys!

You can get the live audio from the HDMI out of the elgato, either by plugging it into a display that has speakers built in or by using a splitter.

You can delay your mic in settings -> audio -> mic time offset (mic) and your webcam through right click (on the device in the sources list) -> properties -> use buffering (milliseconds)

Usually 1250-1750 milliseconds will work well, you'll need to try what value results in the best sync.

Turn "Use buffering" on, at 0. It won't sync up properly with the audio without it.

So there is no option to get the live audio via OBS?
Too bad, I wished that I can get PS3 live audio + pc audio on my headphones at the same time.

anyways, thank you guys very much for answering :)

@MOD: This can be closed!

Set the delay in mic + webcam to 1200 and it works perfect.
The problem with live audio is also solved... i thought that if i'm listening through the speakers, that my mic is recording this sound, but now i've installed everything, that it's not recording this sound. So everything is awesome!

Thanks!
