My OBS doesn't work with my headphones and I couldn't find any solutions online. I use Steelseries Arctis Pro, which has two different playback devices that I can balance. Basically, I can set some apps to one audio setting(Game), and some apps to the other(Chat).

In OBS, the chat device has no issues playing back audio, but the game one doesn't seem to work. I have the following settings set on OBS, and it doesn't pick up any audio. I've tested the headphones and have found no issues with audio, so I can only assume there's some problem with my OBS.

The headset probably outputs either "Game" or "voice", but not both at the same time. Usually, these kind of headsets activate voice mode as soon as some app opens the mic, and the "game" device becomes silent. As soon as the mic isn't in use by anything any more, the headset switches back to game mode and it plays back what is running over this device.
So try the other device in OBS. Or add them both in OBS.

I added both on OBS and tried inputting volume through both game and chat. The audio for chat worked normally while the audio for game didn't pick up anything even though I could hear both through my headphones.
Ive found the solution, try to use spatial sound windows sonic for headphone, jt solves my problem
I tried changing my spatial sound to windows sonic but it still doesn't seem to work.
