The PS4 has an amazing share functionality for its users to use. Even though it's very simple to use, it's also very limited of what you can do with it. I'm able to live stream my game footage with my PS4 no problem. My problem, however, is simply broadcasting my chat. I can broadcast my voice on the PS4, but it won't broadcast other users responding to me. So with that, I tried live streaming with my capturing device.
My Roxio Game Capturing HD Pro device I highly don't recommend. Its software doesn't function like it's supposed, but the hardwares works. Like the PS3, PS4 at the beginning of launch has this ability to block HDMI feed. It's known as HDCP (short for high-bandwidth digital-content protection). This means, you can't capture the highest quality of HD like you want. PS3 users were resorted to composite cables. Those who wanted to capture the highest quality from HDMI resorted to buying a HDMI to DVI to HDMI converter. For a better understanding watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZaB8LS1Tqw However, the PS4 doesn't have composite cables anymore. This is next-gen and HDMI seems to the be the way. So, capturing the PS4 with my capturing device is almost impossible to do. The best thing to do is wait until Sony disables HDMI.

I was able to capture my PS4 even with a blocked signal. I somehow worked around it. The thing is, if I plug a headphone and listen to the game that way, it won't make any sound coming out of the TV. If it's not making any sound going to the TV, then it's definitely not making any sound going to my laptop. This, I stumbled upon while exploring the setup. Therefore, if had a complete headset like Turtlebeach's P4C, I won't be able to broadcast not only chat, but the game audio as well. Well, technically I can still broadcast game audio, just not chat audio with the settings the way they are. What I'm thinking is getting a bunch of splitters and a some 3.5mm to 3.5mm cables and connecting one to go out to my laptop and one to go out to my PS4 controller so I can hear both game audio and chat audio. The problem I see with this is the possibility of echoes with the preview audio turned up. I usually have my preview audio turned up, because that's how I can find out if my stream is getting chopped up. So, I did some research and created a diagram of how I could capture both game audio and chat audio. The question is, will it work?
TL;DR Would the below image link be possible to capture not only game audio, but chat audio? (Sorry for the text color. The lines underneath 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable states "(One for mic, one for head phones)")

EDIT: Looking at the diagram again, I'll probably need a separate mic to my laptop.
EDIT 2: I can simply leave out the all audio and capture just the chat audio. It would probably work better that way, but still question whether I need to get a separate mic. That's not my headset, btw. My head is about I use to broadcast my voice is about $11 and that has separate cable for mic and headphone.
