Audio splitter Question

[Wmbailey96]

So I currently have Corsair void pro’s which use a USB stick for the connection. For instances where I want to play ps4 on my setup while also watching live-streams on my PC, is there a way to split the connections between the two? I’ve been using the ps4 stream app on pc but the image quality and latency gets old.

PS4 quality itself is good enough to tell when it's streamed vs not?  

(I had to make the joke.)

If you run audio from the PS4 to your PC as an input device, you could use a program like Voicemeeter to mix your pc's audio and PS4 audio together. Audio out of the PS4 to a cheap USB adapter like a Behringer UCA222 would work well if you don't mind spending a little on it. 

Do you use a seperate TV for the PS4 or does it use the same monitor as your PC? Most TV's have RCA audio out that you could easily send to your pc.

Is it correct that you want to mix the audio of the PC and the PS4 into one channel to your headphones? What do you mean by "splitting"? They are already splitted.

If my first assumption is correct though it is rather simple. You can always use the RCA out of your TV/Monitor (Auxilary basically) and plug it into the line in of your motherboard/soundcard. However this almost ALWAYS certainly adds a noisefloor which once noticed is unbearable (imo). The PS4 standard and Pro model have a so called digital out port (also called SPDIF). If you have a motherboard with spdif in you can trake a toslink cable to connect the two. If not you can get a PCI-E card with spdif (Google is your friend here). You then have to set the spdif-in as a playback device in the soundmanager. Enjoy! If you have further questions just comment right here.
