Way to increase monitor output audio, while keeping same audio level for stream

So I've had this issue that might be a little complicated to explain, so I hope I can get this across. When I play Switch games, I use my Elgato capture card and play off of OBS's source projector and enable output and monitor for it so I can listen to the game. My issue is that the audio being output from my speakers is pretty low, and I don't want to increase it any further as the audio is perfect for the stream. This isn't a problem when playing PC games as I don't have to set OBS to monitor that game's audio, but when I use my capture card, I can't find a solution to this. Of course OBS's volume level on volume mixer are at 100% as well. Playing off of source projector seems to be my only choice unless I sacrifice one of my monitors to use as the capture card's output display which would be very inconvenient to me. Thanks!
 
You can use a separate audio output device for monitoring in OBS and control its volume independently from the stream mix. Check Settings, Audio, Advanced, then set Monitoring Device, and adjust the monitor volume through your system audio controls.
