As the title say, can I have both audio at the same time in one single headset? If so, how? Can it be done with build in audio jacks or do I need a sound card as well? Does it create extra latency for the audio to be played in the headset? I guess it would be impossible to share the mic too, but consider this as well.

Not via USB NO. Via the 3.5mm jacks, possible but really not sure WHY you would want to at the same time?!?!

Your headphone (NO MIC) would be Male ending 3.5mm, so you would need to have a Female to 2 Male or 2Female splitter, then a Female to Male OR Male to Male two set of cables to run from the splitter to the W10 sound out port and the PS4 Sound out port (does it have a regular audio jack????). As both come up the line they join together into the wire basically, but there is instances this causes feed back, crackling, bad sound, etc. So it isn't something to normally do.
 
Right-click on speakers (bottom right corner of the screen) and select Playback Devices.
Here you can enable the speakers you wish to use or disable the ones you dont want to use.

I'm not sure if its possible to output sound over multiple sources but if its possible the option should be there.
 


TOTALLY WRONG. He is talking about TWO PHYSICAL devices, a Windows 10 PC and a PS4 console. He wants to get the sound of BOTH into ONE headphone.

How does Windows Sound panel help set that PHYSICAL WIRE connect from the PS4 Console to the HEADPHONE????
 


I play on the PS4 and use the party feature a lot. But, I do also play very frequently on PC while still being on PS4 party for chat reasons, therefore I'd like to have a solution that allows me to play sounds from the PC while playing but still being able to chat over PS4.

Regarding your solution, what about taking a male-to-male jack from PS4 audio out to PC out in, then another cable from PC out to headphone? Shouldn't I be able to configure a playback from audio in to out + the PC sound to the same out as well? What do you think?

I'm leaving mic out of the discussion as I can handle it in a different way.
 


Yeah, you have to connect your PS4 sound output to your PC in order to configure the sound devices.
Any more open doors I might have missed?
 


I will try this out, I think it should work. Does it need a PCI/USB additional sound card to work or should I be fine with the build-in audio of my X370 mobo?
 


Well as you want to talk to your PS4 friends, why not all be on DISCORD? It is cross platform, and when you 'hop' to your PC you can just rejoin the conversation there?? BTW it is FREE.

But if your really into the rewiring then:

1) To mix the content of the incoming PS4 Audio to PC IN (if you have a input source that is) then you would need to under recording use the Stereo MIX as the Default Device, and set the Headphones (can be USB with mic, doesn't matter for this part) as the Default Communications Device.

2) But really there is no way to communicate (chat) back over IN to the PS4, so as your just 'listening' only, my easiest recommendation would be put them on the TV's Speakers (if you don't have built in ones, I use a USB powered speakers off the USB 'diag port' on the TV to power them, then plug in the 3.5mm speaker MALE into the OUT of the TV) and then put your W10 also on desktop speakers and use a boom mic (USB) to chat over EITHER PS4 OR PC.
