Question How do I get PC and PS5 audio to play through both speakers and headset simultaneously while being able to switch seamlessly between headset/speakers?

The title is pretty self-explanatory. I want to be able to hear:

PC and PS5 audio simultaneously through my headset.
PC and PS5 audio simultaneously through my speakers.

And effectively switch between both.

I currently have my speakers plugged into my monitor (24G2U) and since my PC and PS5 are connected to my monitor, I can play audio from one device at a time.

Welcome to the forum :)

I'm confused. You mention "simultaneously" and also "switch between both". Which do you want to do?

I use the Sound app icon in the Notification Area to switch between speakers and headset:

I've never tried simultaneous output, might be possible with some kind of splitter coming from a sound or video card..

{[PC AUDIO] + [PS5 AUDIO]} -> Speaker
{[PC AUDIO] + [PS5 AUDIO]} -> Headset
I wanna combine both audios and play them between speaker/headset, and be able to switch between speaker and headset quickly and effectively.

You could do that with an Audio Interface. There's a wide range and some have two inputs and two outputs + switches to direct to speakers and headphones or mute either.
