Question / Help How to monitor broadcast audio?

[Doug Porter]

We're using OBS to broadcast from a video camera, adding audio from the computer microphone input. It's working well, and the sound is just how we want it.

Except...

I want to be able to hear the broadcast output through headphones, so I can make sure everything's working correctly and the audio/video timing is correct.

I'm saving my broadcast to a file, too, and by watching the saved file I know it's working correctly right now. But how can I get the broadcast audio to play through the headphones? (note that it doesn't play through the speakers, either)

I feel like I'm missing something obvoius.

Am I getting no responses because:

1) This is not clearly worded post

2) This is not something OBS supports

3) This is something so obviously supported that I must've done something egregiously wrong?

4) Something else?

I really need to figure this out. Our first live broadcast is this coming Friday and this is a real problem for us, so any suggestions are very much appreciated. I'm going to try setting it all up on another computer and see how that goes.

#4 - I didn't catch the post. and #2. We don't have sound output monitoring (yet).

Ok, thanks Jim. At least I can stop trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong :-)

What I'm doing is this:

I have two Twitch Accounts, 1 for streaming, 1 for testing.
I set up in testing, and start streaming, I then listen to the test stream :)

It's a little archaic, and I'd also like to be able to intercept the audio post stream.
