[SOLVED] Console Streaming: Is There A Way To Hear My Games Audio in my Headphones With No Latency when streaming with Elgato and OBS?

[djpaulhannon]

My setup's pathway is:
Console (Switch/NES/SNES/Dreamcast etc) > Elgato Game Capture HD card > Game Capture software > OBS > My headphones

So when I stream I know how you send the video to your display directly from the output of the Elgato card, so you're not dealing with lag there. BUT how the hell can I listen to the audio in real time too? As all i can listen to at the moment is the delayed audio that the Elgato software is outputting.

I could turn up the sound on the display and listen to that, but it would get picked up by my mic and sound like crap on the viewers end.
Thanks for any advice.

Get a couple of RCA Y splitters and for each channel (Left/Right) send one output to the elgato and the other one to your headphones amp/PC /whatever you want to hear them on

Thanks for the advice that certainly would work for my analog systems. Is there anyway to something for HDMI connected devices?

You will need some device that splits the audio out of HDMI,apparently there are plenty of them out there,even some relatively cheap ones.

I have zero experience with any of those.
