Two computers, two headphones: one plays, one is a spectator. Does it work for anyone? /u/fipah Steam on Reddit

Me and my partner want to play Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which is a game that heavily relies on binaural audio.

We want to experience it together (we like and are used to switching while playing, one plays, the other watches) – but I do not know how we both can have our own headphones?

  • Everyone says it is a criminal offence to play this game with speakers (we tried and indeed, it is not as immersive, which is why we want a two headphones experience).

I know there exists the option of buying a “splitter” device that can split audio from one computer into two headphones. However, we have two very good gaming PCs with new monitors and GPUs.

I thought, could one play and the other one be a spectator on the other PC? With audio?

  • I am trying to research Steam Link but it seems to work for when one wants to play on one PC but launch the game on the other one. Our case would be launch on one, watch on the other one.
  • We also own the game on PS5 but again, I can’t find a way how to use two headphones with the PS5 (wired, plugged into the PS5 and not the controllers).
