Question / Help PS4 audio drops when I turn on my monitor

Hi

I have a Pengo 4K HDMI Grabber and a PS4.
The HDMI grabber is connected to my PC via USB cable, and to my PS4 external display via an HDMI cable.

I have been able to set it up so that I can capture video and capture/listen to audio in OBS, which is the setup I want.
However, whenever I turn on my PS4 external display, the audio drops from OBS and gets played through the PS4 external display's speakers instead.

Is there any way I can prevent the audio from being diverted to the external display?

if your grabber works perfekt (we trust this a true) then it send all to bottom devices
means if you activate the other display
it will "talk" over HDMI with the PS4
the point i will check in your situation is the sounds settings in OBS
as example if your obs settings hear for 48khz but the other display says he require 44khz
or something like channels from stereo to 2.1 3.1 4.1 or something similar then "obs" lost the signal by wrong format
idk if that settings exist in this required form from your grabber

or reverse the setup remove all from obs and readd it with active 2. display
idk if that works or if that the issue but that will be my steps if i get that "error"

Thank you. It works now after I re-added everything. I had to make sure the external display was on at the time I added the source.
