Question / Help Skype audio and game audio out of a different devices?

[Lionheartvll]

I'm trying to get my stream (using OBS) to play my skype call. People can hear me, as well as my computer sounds, but not the others in my call. I currently have my game and computer sounds come out of my speakers but the skype audio come out of my headset, so when i set the default device to be the speakers, the skype sound doesn't come through the stream. Is there a way to set up two playback devices for skype or a way to have OBS pick up 2 devices? Or is there another solution entirely that doesn't involve me having game sound through my headset/skype through my speakers. Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, do you have Astro A40's?

I looked up VAC and downloaded it, but when following the video and trying to open the VAC control panel I get an error saying "Driver not loaded". I can't find how to fix this error either.

Did you restart your computer? I know I know, but that error usually comes up if you haven't restarted after install.

In Skype's audio settings you can output Skype to your speakers.
Or the other way round is you could set your headset as the default Playback Device in windows & restart.

If you're purposely separating voice chat to your headset, and game to your speakers and then back to be sent to OBS you'll need a VAC such as Voicemeeter. But it's easier to just combine everything on a single output.
