Trouble with P.A and Live Streaming
I think the reason you can't capture from the headphone out is because there are different levels of audio signal. Mic level is very low power, Instrument level slightly above that, Line level is the typical headphone/speaker output of most devices, and amplified Speaker Level that goes to high power speakers.
Your Scarlett Solo is expecting Mic Level on its inputs, but you're providing Line Level, so the signal is just going to be too high. You can try setting the level on your PA headphone out very low and use the 2nd input on the Scarlett Solo in "INST"-mode with very low gain, maybe that way it'll work, but most likely the signal will still be too high.
The smarter way would probably be to connect the mic to the Scarlett Solo and then use the direct monitor line-out on the back of the Scarlett Solo to connect to your PA. Make sure you set the input on the PA to line level though or you're going to have the same buzzing again.
Another option: You could use the Scarlett Solo to feed the input to your computer and then connect the PA to the computer. But this way you're going to add some delay to the output, which usually distracts the speaker if they hear their own voice with a small delay.
