What is an HDMI splitter?
An HDMI splitter is a device used to distribute a single HDMI source to multiple displays. It is usually designed with an HDMI input port and multiple HDMI output ports, like 1×2, 1×4. You can connect an HDMI source, like a cable box, DVD player, PC to it via its HDMI input port, then connect multiple displays to it via its HDMI output ports.

So my new solution is going to be an inline volume controller so I can control my PC volume with a device instead of the volume keys. I'll leave windows volume high and control speaker volume with the inline adapter that will only be plugged to the speakers.
Honestly I can't tell much of a difference between cloning my display in Nvidia control panel and this but the one benefit of this is I don't have to send my audio over NDI to the streaming PC. And it seems to refresh quicker than NDI did. At first I tried a display port to HDMI cable but could not get a signal. Had to use an HDMI to HDMI cable.
Device only comes with power adapter, no HDMI cables. Plan accordingly. (1 from source, and 2 outputs).
Lastly, I am using this with a ugreen USB to HDMI capture adapter on a MicroPC utilizing Intel quicksync in OBS and it's basically flawless. It's a wonderful setup. I use NDI to send my microphone from gaming PC to streaming PC so both sides can hear it. When I use headphones I have to additionally use NDI to send my headphones amplifier audio to the streaming PC.

Upon unboxing the splitter, I was surprised that the device was a bit heftier than I had initially expected, which was promising. All you get in the small package is the splitter itself and its power adapter, and so you'll have to supply your own output HDMI cable.
Setting the splitter up with my PS3 was simple enough. I first moved the output end of the PS3's HDMI cable into the splitter's input port, and then I grabbed a spare HDMI cable I had on hand and got both ends plugged into the splitter's "Output 1" port and one of my HDMI switcher's input ports respectively.
During my testing, I noticed that my recorded footage had an AWFUL screeching noise in place of the game audio. In an attempt to troubleshoot the issue, I re-ran the PS3's automatic audio setup on HDMI, which seemed to fix the issue by only picking out the default "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1kHz" and "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48kHz" options that you can't untick if I recall correctly. If the automatic audio setup doesn't pick those for whatever reason, make sure those are the only options picked.
I would like to make it clear that using this splitter with a PS3 will limit your available audio settings through HDMI to the default "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1kHz" and "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48kHz" options, so I'd suggest any audiophiles to keep that in mind if that's something you're worried about.
I was using OBS Studio for my recordings, and I'd recommend looking up how to adjust the program's audio sampling rate. OBS's setting should match with the sampling rate on the other audio devices in your PC's recording setup to minimize lag when you have OBS output sound from your capture device. However, I'd like to clarify that the audio in recordings don't seem to suffer from any sort of lag problem.
Unfortunately, you'll lose HDMI-CEC or "Control for HDMI" functionality on Slim and Super Slim PS3 systems when using this splitter with those systems, since it explicitly doesn't support that as mentioned in the product description.
Lastly, I've seen suggestions to use the splitter's 2nd output port for PS3 HDCP stripping purposes, but I'd like to note that using the 1st output port has been working fine for me personally.
