I want to use my PC, and PS4 on the same channel in terms of audio. How do i do this? I know Astro has a mix amp but idk looks cheap.

 

Anything that has a solid sound and interface would be great!

 

I'm not sure what they are called other then mix amps sorry...

If they're close, best thing is to plug the output from your PS4 into your PC. You can then set windows to "listen to this device" in the sound properties, and control the volume of everything with the built-in sound mixer.

How would i do this? What would be needed? Right now im using the mic input on the controller for audio and chat.

Either plug in your wire from the controller to the line in on your comp or get something like the steelseries console adapter or a Fiio D3 and E6 combo. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Okay, then what NannerBeans said - get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm wire that'll reach between your PC and the headphone adapter, plug your headphones into your PC, and then follow directions below to "listen" to the PS4 through the PC.

 

Right Click on the Sound Icon in the Notification bar > Click 'Recording Devices' > Right Click on the port you plugged the PS4 into > Click on the 'Listen' tab > Check the 'Listen to this device' box
