I probably wanted to stream my gameplay from PS4 to Twitch. There's a known function to stream directly to the PS4 on Twitch, but I can't incorporate any overlays there. So I've built it as follows at the moment: My Ps4 is connected via hdmi cable to my elgato Hd60 pro which is installed in my PC. From there the output hdmi cable leads into my monitor. Everything works so far as long as the ps4 hdcp is disabled. Everything works well within Streamlabs obs. The stream is running, my voice is picked up via a rode ntb1 which hangs from a behringer mixer connected via usb to my computer as well as to my ps4. However, this will soon be replaced by a Blue yeti. My real problem is that as soon as I plug my headphones into the controller via the jack or my headset which I connect to the ps4 via usb (bluetooth), the ingame sound within the stream disappears. Sry for the long text. I would be really grateful if someone could help me.
In your PS4 under Settings - Devices - Audio devices you have the following options:
For "Output device", you can switch "On controller connected headphones" to "TV or AV amplifier". [Then the entire audio output should be redirected via HDMI to the elgato, instead of the connected headphones.]
For "Headphone Output" you can change "Entire Audio" to "Chat Audio". [Then the chat should continue to go to the headphones, everything else to the elgato.]
Possibly. Is it also appropriate to uncheck "Turn off output device automatically" so you do not have to change it every time.

The question is, of course, what you want with the headphones on the PS4 controller.
If you want ingame sound on the headphones and at the same time on the elgato, I would not connect the headphones to the controller, but to the PC with the elgato. [The sound then goes through the elgato in the PC, where you can then listen to the sound with the headphones.]
When it comes time to have a microphone on the PS4. So it may be possible to connect only the microphone input of the headset to the PS4 and possibly the audio output s.den PC with the elgato.
Yes I would like to do it so that I can use my turtle beach stealth 720 for ingame sound to perform good sound gaming and of course my Blue yeti which will probably arrive tomorrow. Only every time I connect my headset, I can't set this ONLY as an audio output, it will instead also be set as the audio input (the microphone from the headset). I'll try the tips tomorrow when the new microphone arrives. Would notify me again.
1 year later, although did you figure this out. I have same issue
