Astro mixamp question

Ok to be honest this is for my console not PC.
The issue is that I have a PS4 and a Yamaha Receiver. I want to play Spotify from the receiver but I also want to hear the game audio from the speakers ( not TV speakers. ) I do not like the headphones for spotify, speakers for game or vice versa. Since my receiver can't play two audio sources at the same time I think I need to mix them before I put them in the receiver. I thought Astro mixamp can do that but I am not sure if it would be good since I think it is made to mix in microphone audio and output to headphones.

I am open to suggestions.

On a PC things are soo much easier.....
 
This is going to be a weird setup.

The mixamp can mix both game, music and voice but only through Optical(for game) and 3.5mm(for music). Since your receiver can only output one source at a time you would have to mix both sources together before outputting to the receiver. So hook up the PS4 into the mixamp through the optical slot and Spotify from your phone(?) to the mixamp using a 3.5mm M/M cable. From there you would need an astro mixamp audio splitter to output from the mixamp into 2 seperate audio channels. The mixed music/game and the voice. Connecting the mixed audio to the receiver via some 3.5mm to RCA. Then you should be able to hail Cthulhu the Great.

A link to your receiver make/model would be handy to see if there's a simpler method.

This is my receiver. 3.5mm jack is not a problem, I have a bluetooth adapter that can take bluetooth audio and output to either digital component or 3.5mm jack so I could use that. SoI'll have my phone bluetoth to the adapter then adapter to mix amp.

Why do I need the mixamp audio splitter? I thought I need one output from the mixamp to go to the receiver.

Edit: Nevermind, I have the audio splitter already actually.
