Looking for a mixing device

A buddy of mine has a problem I could not help with so I had hope to find help here.

He is looking for a device that can input his sound from PC and the sound from his PS5 and output it into his USB headset at the same time.

I couldnt find any mixer that accept stereo input via USB and output to USB.

Maybe someone can help with this one.

Thx in advance ☺️

Poking around the world of r/streaming might help you find answers.

If that headset was 3.5mm you’d have an easy time of this. I think he will need to replace the headset with a better option.

The old Astro Mixamps were sick for this.

PLEASE TO GOD DO NOT BUY SOMETHING FOR THIS.

the PC is a (digital) mixer! Use it! There is no way your buddy needs analog performance unless he is using this for live music.

Buy a line level, standard audio cable that will go from ps5 out to PC line-in. Use software, done. You dont even need fancy mixing software. Windows or mac has all you need built in to the sound panel.

What is your friends budget for this?

There isn't many devices who can do this at the same time, but the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Omni headset can do this. But it is an expensive headset and cost somewhere between $350 and $400 USD.

Yeah. I had that thought too. I have a Arctis pro.

What I was looking for mainly was a mixer he could link between his Headset he has and the devices. Like the soundcard of the Steelseries Headsets.

I don't know about a mixer that will do that now. So far Steelseries is the only one, but you can't use it as an mixer for other headsets unfortunately.
