Question / Help Issues getting playback audio through USB headsets

[Aaron Baker]

This is a C&P from my OP in the OBS Support forum (My mistake):

I'm fairly new to OBS and streaming as a whole so I'll do my best to try an understandably explain:
I'm planning on streaming a fighting game tournament in the coming weeks. I've just recently made the switch from Vanilla OBS to Studio so that I could run multiple audio sources for in-game commentary.
However, the issue I'm running into here is that while the headsets' audio is working just fine on the stream, I can't seem to get in-game and the other headset's audio to come through either of the headsets' speakers so that the commentators can hear eachother as well as the game.
Is there a plug-in I have to install or a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

I'm running OBS Studio on a Lenovo Y700 with core i7
The headsets I'm currently using are SADES SA-901 USB.

Just wonder, if you simply connect 2 of your headsets to your PC and don't run any additional software (right after system boot up for example) can you speak each other through this headsets?

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking here. I have both SADES headsets connected via USB and I don't have any plug-ins or software downloaded for them. They're both outputting audio to OBS Studio, but nothing is coming back through their speakers.

I mean, if you can't hear in one headset what is spoken in other by itself, then nothing strange that OBS Studio cannot do it. The simplest solution, I saw, is to wear one ear of the headset. Or you need special communication software running, I think.
