Dual Audio Output USB and HDMI

Set up my second PC for streaming, the problem I got is I can't figure out how to have audio come through my USB headset (on gaming PC) as well as the HDMI (from gaming Pc) to the capture card (on my streaming PC)? Thanks in advance

I don't think Windows can do it natively, you need some software than enables audio streaming to two/multiple devices at once. Your streaming software should do this.

Thanks for the reply, the thing with what you said is the stream software is on my second pc the only thing that links the gaming pc to the streaming pc is the HDMI cable which is connected on gpu output (gaming pc) to capture card (streaming pc) I was wondering if there is some sort of audio software that you could do what you said?

Thanks again for the reply Doc but again this does not work as my head set is USB and has its own driver, the mixer only work if you have it plugged in to the audio jacks that the mixer has control of.....

But on the plus side I have managed to get it work with voicemeeter the problem inhave now is that using VM I can have use the two out puts, the HDMI and USB headset but now I can't get my mic to go through to the capture card HDMI with out it going through to my headset.....

checkout voicemeeter banana
i use it to output to 2 physical and 1 software audio devices
i also use it to handle 3 input devices, so i can talk to friends on discord without it going to my stream and friends dont turn up on my stream while still able to stream my voice with a button press
its free software, but i suggest getting the extra virtual audio cables for a few quid
iv not streamed for quite some time, but have a play with it, its hard at first but once you figure it out its very powerful

you dont have to use banana, they do a simple version which is just voicemeeter, has less channels and options, so easier to follow
