As the title says, WavTap will send the audio to OBS but can't hear it in my headphones, Soundflower doesn't seem to send it to OBS and crashes when I try to send it to my headphones, Sound Siphon just plays everything out of my speakers which I don't want. Im using Astro MixAmp so the headset is USB. Do I have any other options?
 
I dont' know too much about the MixAmp, but what's worked for me is to make an aggregate device in Audio/MIDI Setup, which includes both sound flower and my audio interface. That way I can send the same audio to both devices, Soundflower will send it to OBS and then my interface will send it to my headphones.

I have a MOTU Traveler tho, and am processing audio in Logic. Can't say I know too much about the MixAmp.

Alright that did it. I used the Audio MIDI setup to make a multi input device with my mixamp and wav tap. I don't really like sound flower. So the problem for whatever reason then was the audio was also getting output to my desktop speaker so first I set those as my output in system preferences, then muted them, then set the output in system preferences to the Multi Output device. In OBS wav tap is the audio source. I get the audio to the stream and to my headset.

Pretty confusing huh? Haha I'm recording my podcast in Logic while also sending that output into OBS. Took quite awhile to figure out the proper setup.

Cheers!

to use soundflower you actually have to set it up like it is a pair of headphones, and then have it play the sound through it in soundflower's options
