Question / Help Full PS4 audio setup. My Eternal gratitude!

[logo]

Ok, so I have looked at so many videos my eyes are going to bleed and my brain is going to pop. I'm just going to specifically ask about getting my personal situation set up and be eternally grateful to you audio masters out there. Please feel free to dumb everything down into the simplest layman's terms as well for me. I have no issue admitting to being a total noob with this tech setup!

Here's what I want: All PS4 audio (gameplay, chat, and my mic) to go to the stream. I also would like to be able to hear chat, game, and music in my own headset.

What I have so far is my PS4 plugged into my Avermedia Live Gamer HD in my PC.

I have a Blue Yeti Mic that I typically just plug into the PS4 but can plug it into the PC.

I also have an Astro A40 Mixamp and headset.

IF I could get away with hearing the sounds in a simple earbud, that would be awesome. Assuming that is too tricky though, how should I go about piecing these things together to get my desired result, and am I potentially missing anything?

Ok, this is how I do this:

Yeti is plugged into PC
I bought an USB Stick with Mic in and Headphones out
Plug that into the PS4
In the PS4:
- set game-audio -> HDMI (TV)
- set chat audio -> USB

The TV's headphone-output -> Line In 1 on PC
The USB Stick headphone-output -> Line In 2 on PC

I also use Voicemeeter Banana (free PC-app)
It creates two virtual "wires":
- 2 virtual speakers
- 2 virtual microphones
Whatever you send to the speaker comes "out" of the microphone (and can thus be recorded).
Speaker 1 = Mic 1
Speaker 2 = Mic 2
I set Speaker 1 as my default sound device in Windows, so my PC-sound is recordable through Mic 1

Voicemeeter Banana also has a mixer:
You define inputs:
The 2 Line In's and my Yeti
Voicemeeter also adds Mic 1 and Mic 2 by default.

and Outputs:
The Yeti's headphone-output
My speakerset
Voicemeeter also adds Speaker 1 and 2 by default.

and can then assign input -> output and change the volume per input.

I mute Mic 2.
I send the 2 Line Ins and Mic 1 to the Yeti's headphone-output (this enables me to hear all audio, except myself)
I also send this same output to my speakers, for when I'm not recording and don't want to use my headset.
I send all inputs to Speaker 2 (this is why I muted Mic 2 in Voicemeeter, this could create a loop)

In OBS I only record Mic 2 (so OBS records only the mixed audio and NO audio from the capture card).

The only problem here is that you can't route your Yeti to the USB Stick's microphone input. So your friends can't hear you. You need a cheap (preferably standing) microphone to plug in there,

Oh wow there is definitely no simple and easy solution is there? haha So it sounds like you nearly have everything you want in your setup (and everything once you buy an additional mic)

Oh, I have an additional mic of sorts. It's an old cheap headset that I wear around my neck... On top of the headphones coming from my Yeti.
