OBS still plays audio when I press headphone only button

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Im using Traktor pro3, DJ Hercules instinct series s, obs, monitor, and desktop.

My issue:

I want to hear sound ONLY in my headphones while mixing, while another track is playing, HOWEVER obs still plays the headphone-only button function in master.

I have tried every option possible and it's always the same. When I press the headphone only, it still plays in master and you can hear what I'm doing.

My setup:

DJ mixer - Hercules, at the bottom I plug in my headphones, at the top I have a aux for speakers and left right RC. I have the left right in my Hercules and the cable goes into the monitor.

OBS recognises my monitor and Hercules as 2 audio sources.

Traktor has ASIO4ALL, HERCULES, NVIDIA audio sources, shared and exclusive.

I do have to mention that when I go to external, I lose the volume buttons function (up down)

I put the cable into the desktop PC and still same. IF anyone has any info how I can fix this, please let me know.

Only use "external mixing mode" with an external mixer, not with a DJ controller.

Look at the guide PK gave you, I think I also linked it to you on reddit. You can take a cable from the master out of controller and put that into a line in on your computer.

If you have asio4all, you could also combine the hercules and your normal computer interface. But if I remember correctly I also explained to you on reddit? Did you try that?

Seems odd that you would even send your headphones / cue monitoring to OBS. Normally you just give it the mix out. I’d just mute the monitoring in OBS or not bring it into your scene at all.

You tried every option possible? Did you try following this guide?

Yes, I followed the guide. I do want to mention that in traktor, when switching from INTERNAL to EXTERNAL in the audio preference tab, I lose the option of fading track A and B, so the faders that go from top to bottom and vice versa disappear in EXTERNAL. I fully understand that OBS doesn't need to get the headphone only input and that I need to route the DJ hercules in such a way that out for headphones is only headphones... But like I said, I have tried every combination. And I can only work in INTERNAL setting as explained.
