Question / Help Recombine Audio While Streaming

So I've got a bit of an odd predicament.

I'm using a virtual cable (Voicemeeter) to split out my teamspeak chat so that my recording software doesn't pick it up. I also have my mic muted on the options too so its just raw gameplay sounds.

Now when I'm streaming I'd like to include the teamspeak audio so I don't appear mental as though I'm talking to myself! Is there a way to do this where I can have the best of both worlds - Keeping the teamspeak chatter out of my recordings but included in my stream? (I'm recording and streaming concurrently and don't want to keep switching output devices preferably)

In the audio settings I've tried different devices and they don't pick up the whole shebang. If I try setting it to the default speakers I get the error of (Cannot initialize desktop audio sound..." but none of the other options include the whole audio I can hear through my headset

Any help would be appreciated folks!

You should be able to do this in OBS-MP. The mixer lets you select which audio sources go onto up to 4 tracks; the stream can use any single track, while the recording can use any combination of the 4. So for example you could assign everything to track 1 for your stream, and then everything but your VAC line to track 2 for the recording.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not actually using OBS to record, I'm using AMD's Raptr as the quality to size ratio is perfect for me. Could I still use OBS-MP to recombine the different audio sources? I.e the cable input and voicemeeter input and would it still populate the stream audio correctly?

I've tried my hand with OBS-MP with no luck. I managed to get the audio sources to work fine but the game capture gave me no end of headaches. I could get it to capture the game (Dirty Bomb) by only hooking it to the Window title and not the executable but then if I ALT-Tabbed the game would freeze up. Guess I'm stuck with sounding like a loony for the time being!
