Using headphones and speakers at the same time

[Snowi_]

So i want to use my Sennheiser Game Zero headset and mic at the same time with my speakers. The speakers are some really old stuff connected to a Yamaha ax-640 amp (really good  from like the 90s) and i want to use both of them at the same time. So for example have discord audio and use the mic in my headset while listening to music from the speakers. I dont really know how to do it so i need help with this thank you in advance :D

As long as you have a Y adapter you can bring out sound from both sources.

is there no other way?

There is this way (i have gone into here a few times when i try to use my headset and it just plays through my speakers, but i would presume it could be used to move audio from chrome or a dedicated music program to come out the speakers and the rest to go through the default audio option)

(video captured through obs of how to get to the window im refering to)

just out of curiosity if you unplug your sennheiser and play sound through the speakers if one of the others displays that sound output
