Question / Help Help with my Elgato HD60 + OBS + PS4 + Discord set-up

So I want to stream my PS4 through my Windows 10 PC using an Elgato HD60 and OBS.

I want PS4 game audio, Discord chat audio and my microphone audio all in the stream, and I want all this audio to ultimately go through my headset instead of the TV.

I've had a week of fighting with physical cables, splitters, stereo Y-cables, virtual cables, inputs and outputs. I've watched a ton of tutorials on YouTube, been on the Elgato subreddit, searched on these forums and other places, but nowhere seems to include all elements (OBS, Discord, Elgato) in their tutorials.

Surely this set-up isn't that unique?

I tried installing VoiceMeeter Banana and Virtual Audio Cables on my PC. I managed to route my mic input and Discord chat into VoiceMeeter, but PS4 game audio was super quiet. The

I'd also like to stream PC games in the future, so ideally the set-up wouldn't totally break if I wanted to stream solely from the PC as well.

I didn't think this scenario/requirement would be that unique, but for some reason it doesn't seem that easy.

So, my questions:

  1. What are the definitive settings to get this set-up working correctly? Do I need virtual cables? Do I need a separate mixer? How come my name audio is super quiet?
  2. Would a USB headset somehow solve all my issues? I'm currently using standard Sony 3.5mm headphones connected to my monitor speakers, so if that's all I need, I'll go out and buy one today.
  3. What cheap/decent PC gaming headset would you recommend?
Any help is super appreciated!

Sounds like using Audio Monitoring from OBS itself would probably accomplish this much easier than how you're trying to do it.

Edit -> Advanced Audio Properties, turn it to monitor only for your capture card, and then just set your headphones as the default Windows sound device, and the monitoring device in Settings -> Advanced.
