I have an external mixer and i need to plug several mics to it as well as several cameras to the computer and also stream gaming with sound and everyone needs to hear the sound in their headphones.
but i can figure out how to set it all up!
when i start obs and i configure the audio input to my usb mixer its like deactivate allthe sounds that my computre should generate. (like youtube sounds, or the game itself) i dont understand whet can i do?

In OBS Studio by default the Audio Monitoring is switched off. Monitoring is the sound not intended for your audience in stream/recording but meant for the OBS technician, the show presenters etc. It is quite common that the monitoring output device is ones laptop speakers that are in close proximity to the laptop's microphone. So quite a risk at feedback loops (loud beeping).

So switch monitoring on: at the Audio Mixer click the Settings icon (gear wheel), Advanced Audio Properties. Set Audio Monitoring to Monitor and Output.
 
the monitoring was on. thats not seems like the problem at all. i kept playing with it and it seems like there is some weird contadiction within the the computer. when i open obs i can see that my mic is getting sounds (the bars are going up and down) and i can hear myself on the headset but nothing else in the computer in sound terms is working. normal videos just wont start and even youtube shows me an error says "Audio renderer error, Please restart your computer" but as soom as i change the audio input to lets say the webcam then it all goes back to normal. seems like my input and output are configured as my external Beringer mixer (the input state "line in" the output state "speakers") but for some reason its like they are just dont work together in the software! (when i exit the obs i can hear myself and anything else in the computre in a normal way)
 
here are some pics that might help a little:

anothre update:
i tried everything from scratch again. i opened a new scene and i added output capture as my behringers speakers. now in my headphones i could hear myself as well as the game. so i made a recording to test it ,everything seems ok minus the fact that the bars on my beringer input (line in) it wasnt moving. and when i listened to the record i was right, i was mute. in the advanced it was on "monitorin and output" but still no luck.
help me please
 
A few things that come to mind:
Do you use Global Audio Devices (at Settings, Audio)? Then you might want to switch the setting from Default to the specific device.
Did you fiddle with Tracks (at Advanced Audio Properties)? Have every device routed to every track (so all checkboxed are indeed checked).

If this does not help, please provide a log file. Here's how.
 
update: SOLVED!!!!!!
I just did random stuff in my computre and at last i figured it out all by myself! so the problam was in windows! the speakers and the recorder was set on different Bitrate in the sound settings. when i changed the mic to 48000 it worked like magic. i guess it would happen the same if id change the speakers to 44000. thank you for your try to help tho <3 <3 <3
