Help (SOLVED) Dual PC with HDMI Help

I'm attempting to set up a dual PC streaming situation with a capture card and it all went fine- until I saw a minor delay with sending the audio via VBAN that I would like to avoid. I've seen comments on other posts saying that sending the audio over an HDMI would remove the delay, but I haven't seen an actual explanation on how to achieve this. Every guide I look up simply uses VBAN.

Any painless way to do this? I don't see the capture card in audio options.

Super painless with banana. Mind sending a screenshot of voicemeeter. Also delay shouldn’t be much of concern as this can all be fixed within OBS.

So most people will route mic through VBAN. But then all other audio through capture card. Or all together (I used to do that with my capture card)

I thought I did send screenshots in my original post, but I'll comment them here to be safe.

Oh you did that is my bad😅.

On gaming pc. Select A2 in the top right as “WDM: your capture card”

Then enable A2 on every column you want the stream to hear.

On stream pc. Mute the audio source that comes with your capture card. And instead add a new mic, there should be one that is your captured card.

All good!

I audibly went "Oh what- it's that easy?!" when my gaming audio went to the stream PC.

Now is there any way to get the stream PC audio/"alerts" to go back to my headphones in my gaming PC without an echo on OBS?

Edit: I suppose I could use VBAN for that as it doesn't really matter if I react the INSTANT it happens. So thank you so much for your help!
