I'm using SkyPe to interview people, while I'm streaming.
I'm gathering the video with Display Capture. It works.
As well as I send the video Program from OBS to SkyPe via it's virtual cam

But I'm not able to get the audio FROM SkyPe and to send it TO the Streaming viewers ...
(as well as I can't get the audio from OBS and send it to my interviewee)

Do you have any suggestion, please?

Today, I found a solution that solves the 75% of the problem.

FIRST OF ALL
install a virtual interface like MOBIOLA (I used it, to use my iPhone4 as Webcam) ... install the Windows version if you have it or MacOS version ... it's up to you ...
Here below I continue with Windows, since I'm not (yet) a Mac User
The italic notes, are explaining the reasons of each setting

MOBIOLA is downloadable from here (09 Feb 2018): http://mobiola.com/

WINDOWS SIDE
1. Control Panel > Sounds > Communication: select "DO NOTHING" and click "OK"
This avoids that Windows dims or mute any other audio source, when Skype is activated

SKYPE SIDE
1. Tools > Options ... > Audio Settings
2. Microphone: select your Audioboard - The audio out of your card, sends the signal to SkyPe
3. Speaker: select Mobiola - The audio out of SkyPe is sent to this driver and not to the Audio Out
4. Video Settings: select OBS-Camera - OBS will send the Video Program to SkyPe

OBS STUDIO
1. Tools > Virtual Cam > Start - you can close the small popup. OBS send the Program to SkyPe and to the streaming server
2. SOURCE: + > Audio Input Capture > select MOBIOLA, click OK - It receives the audio from SkyPe
3. SOURCE: + > Window Capture: - You select the area where SkyPe correspondant appears

START THE STREAMING!
At this point, on Facebook or Youtube, the audio you send, is broadcast, and the interviewed person, is seen and listened.
She can listen to you very well by your microphone.
People can listen to her, via her microphone


WHAT IS YET MISSING?
I didn't find any way to send the audio FROM OBS Studio (Program Audio) TO SKYPE.
I did try to send the audio to MOBIOLA,
Settings > Audio > Desktop Audio Device: select MOBIOLA

On the audio source:
Right click on the cogwheel of the Desktop Audio track > properties ... select the audio interface out

Nothing happes ... useless action
