I want to combine my Ps4 and the laptop or PC with a suitable amp and Dac so that I can hear and speak on both platforms at the same time without having to switch cables, and I don't know which audio devices also offer surround sound. So also intended for gaming, if possible devices that offer a USB input or output, otherwise XLR mic and studio headphones with a lot of ohms for the amp and Dac.
I would just buy a small mixer with 24 - 48 V phantom power, which should then have the number of inputs and outputs you need (one per system). Then just clean with an XLR mic. Hang something in front of the mic so that you can get a good volume:

The "surround sound" is simulated anyway, with a normal stereo connection you get the same sound with headphones.
Otherwise, buy a large audio interface with a lot of inputs and outputs and route the whole thing accordingly. It will definitely not be cheap.
Many thanks for the help.
