Hi,
After a quick search I couldn't find an answer to my problem. There's an old post (about a year old) where dev said that he'd add an audio mixer, but nothing to really address my issue.

Anyhow... Is there another option that I cannot find or a plug-in that would allow me to change where capture card's audio is outputted? Because in Global Sources > Device Properties (Device Selection) > Audio Input Device > (Use Device Audio)... there are two options: "Output audio to stream only" and "Output audio to desktop". For my setup (dual PCs) I would need to be able to choose where I output capture card's audio, so a drop-down menu with available Playback Devices (similar to "Desktop Audio Device" in OBS' settings under Audio) would be exactly what I need.

The aim is to separate audio streams that my Streaming PC is capturing (Gaming PC's audio, Voice comms, audio player etc.) while being able to hear audio from Gaming PC at the same time (and it not echoing). I've tested several solutions and ended up with my current setup (capturing Gaming PC's audio through audio-out had too much delay and static, so capture card's HDMI was the best solution). My current options are, I either hear Gaming PC's audio but can't stream it OR I can stream Gaming PC's audio, but can't hear it myself.

I know there are a lot of nifty plug-ins for OBS (Video Source is one of my favorites), so I thought might as well ask people here whether they know one that could help me.

Cheers.
 
Thanks for a suggestion, at least it's something. But after investing into a capture card I'm not too keen on spending an extra 100€ on an audio mixer especially for a small hobby as mine. Hopefully at some point OBS' developer will add an option to choose to which audio device you want to output audio from capture card. *wishful thinking* He had plans for something similar a year ago. ^^;

Cheers.
