And then what you can see right here is, my microphone is the cable output coming from vMix, and the audio coming back from Zoom into vMix so that I can hear it is on cable A.

If you're someone that has to go to StreamYard, because it's browser-based, it doesn't give you the capability like Zoom does of selecting an input and an output. I don't know why, but they call it 'Banana.' So you can mix different sources and they have 'Potato,' which is even more extreme than 'Banana.' And this allows you to have your different sources and your different destinations, all in a mixer, so you can manually adjust the audio levels as well, which is cool for apps that don't allow you to do that.
