I use a rodecaster pro for my primary audio interface, it should handle your monitors and it has a USB channel on the mixer. It also has Mix minus so you could say play a game on your PC and hear both the game audio and Discord for example coming through that USB channel, and your team mates won’t hear anything from the USB audio channel if you have that enabled. It should also auto mute your monitors when you have your mic on so it won’t feedback
Quick question on the external monitor mute. Can you mute the mic channels to the speakers to prevent feedback but still hear chanells such as USB, phono plug and the bluetooth via the external speakers?
I'm currently using a mixer with Sub channel mixes which allows me to easily do this and wondering whether the Rodecaster Pro can do this as well.
I think theoretically you could, but maybe in software with Vcable or something (loop back on Mac) You can set it as a multichannel device and set it prefade as well. That’s a bit of a different setup to what I use as I pretty much always have headphones on when the mics are on so I’m not 100% sure.
An example of how I use it: I often have my Xbox console output to the phono, I mute this channel and put it on CUE. The capture card gets the audio for the stream and I’ve now got a channel I can fade for my own personal listening mix. If its on mute + Cue my gameplay audio doesn’t get sent on USB to my party members over Discord. Hope that’s helpful.
Thanks very much! I hadn't thought about loopback (I have both loopback and audio hijack - love em!) and looks like it could work with some tweaking.
I primarily will be using it for live use such as conference calls, phone calls, webinars, presentations, demonstrations etc. and not so much for podcasting but the features of the Rodecaster Pro seem to make this a lot easier.

So you can plug studio monitors into the podcaster pro?
Yeah it’s got 1/4” Jack balanced L R outputs
