Question / Help Streaming Setup Questions

Hello,

So I have a question about streaming another computer's video and audio outputs into a capture card. I'm having problems capturing both. The challenge is that our host needs to listen in and interact with a guest calling in on a video call with google chat.

I have the hdmi output from our hosts computer going into a capture card of the streaming rig. The problem is that the host can only monitor his audio from what I monitor during the show. I believe the computer that we're trying to capture wasn't able to split its audio output to both my capture card and his headphones. We also needed a second microphone going into the hosts computer so that our guest could hear him. So essentially I had doubled the amount of audio inputs from microphones and produced an annoying echo.

What's the best way to setup a video capture for a skype or google chat call in terms of video and audio? In terms of scenes I have one main camera for my host, one involving the host computer's screen and a picture in picture feed from his webcam in the lower left corner, and then another scene with just his computer's screen.

Again in a nutshell:
I need one active microphone for the video call, one microphone for the stream but I dont need to be hearing his video call's microphone. My host needs to be able to hear his guest during the video call while i also capture it for the stream.

Hopefully that describes my situation.
 
I have a virtual mixer that captures the audio from my PC as well as the audio from my MIC through one channel to my streaming PC. The virtual mixer ALSO sends the audio to my headset. Try tinkering with Voice Meeter Banana, there are a few guides on google. I have not used google chat so I am not sure that this will even help you. But it solved my audio problems that sounded similar to what you're describing.
