Sound through headphones?

The1nonly1 · 25 Dec 2021 at 20:28

I have the steelseries arctis 5 plugged into my PC via USB but I will also have my phone on the desk streaming sports. Is is possible with some hardware device to have the headphones plugged into my PC for sound but also have the sound from my phone in the headphones too?

Thanks, I'll take a look at these options.

As it doesn't look like OcUK sells similar - this is the kind of thing I'm talking about as an example https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08CB764YV

You can then set the audio device to "Listen to this device" in its properties in the Windows Sound Recording Devices list and it will play in your headphones.

EDIT: That assumes the phone has a 3.5mm output otherwise you have to mess about with a dongle or bluetooth.

That's great thank you. Seems like this will do the job I want it to.

So, I tried a 3.5mm cable I had and it works fine and no feedback as I only have the headset for audio currently. Thanks for the help.
