So my problem is as follows, i want to be able to hear my xbox one gameplay audio, party chat and when my twitch alerts going off. I have a elgato hd60 and use obs. Currently i have a kinect setup for party chat so the audio will go through my monitor and my elgato can capture it. I then have my headset audio connected to the back of my moniter to hear chat and gameplay audio. The mic of the headset is plugged into my pc to record my voice audio. This setup works great and is synced up. The only problem is that i cant hear twich alerts going off or music when i use nightbot requests or Spotify. As i play mostly fps, its hard to catch and give a shoutout to new followers. I have tried checking "output to desktop" in obs, and plugged my headset into my pc, but the audio is not synced up to what i see on my monitor which really throws me off. From what ive read that its not possible through obs because of it processing the audio. So is there anyway to get twitch alerts, xbox gameplay, and party chat into my headphones!? I hope this is the right place to post. Thanks in advance!!

Personally I would just get a pair of cheap desktop speakers to just play the desktop sounds. make sure its not loud enough to be picked up by the mic though
