So I am using OBS to record gameplays. Usually with friends so I'd like them to be heared on the audio track. But playing without music is a pain for me >.>.

So is there a solution for this?

you could use virtual audio cables and/or direct show audio plugin for obs do this:
set game and friends to virtual line 1 and have it repeated to your speakers so you can hear and set obs desktop audio to virtual line one and leave your music on your default.(this example doesnt need the plugin) However you might be able to come up with a different configuration that might be easier as with this you would always have to turn on the repeater so you can hear or you would have to remember to always change the audio setting all the time this is just the easiest setup method.

Hey I got everything working but the problem is that when i set my Audio settings to Line 1 in OBS I can still hear my sportify and chrome etc. All my programs are running on line 1 and are getting recorded..

Sadly there isn't an option in Spotify or chrome to make them use my headset.. :/

Using Spotify, there's a nifty program called Equalify:
http://www.equalify.me

Simply close Spotify, then install it, then start Spotify up once again. Start playing any song, then the Equalify button should appear. Click on it to make the equalizer appear. Then, right-click the equalizer and there will be an option to allow you to change the output device that Spotify uses. It'll ask you to restart Spotify again. When you do, the output device will be changed.

This is what I use to listen to music through my headset while streaming my games, to avoid any nasty potential copyright crud with songs.

It worked yay. :D Thanks.

But now i ruined everything when trying to renew my realtek driver and there isnt the "listen to this device option" anymore qq.

EDIT:

okay got it working now just had to reinstall my vac

Okay everything worked now but isn't there a program or function that gives me the option to do this for every single program/audio source?
