Easy: Either use "What you hear" and mute the crowd, or use an interface-tie in like a Scarlet (the Streaming-pros do that).

Or do it my way: Buy a (cheap, mine´s not) USB-Recording Mic (Neewer on Amazon is quite capable, although dirtcheap, Blue-Yeti is better, Rode NT-USB is killing it (Easy to say, that´s what I use) and play your background music, with a little Bluetooth (Cable Speaker).

My personal setup:
Tablet with Smule for backing tracks, Rode NT-USB Studiomic, TDK TrekMini for Backgroundmusic, Jack and Danny Ukulele, Yamaha Guitar and Technics RP DJ 1200 Headphones.

+ A couple of Fiddlybits, cables and a Rode Videomicro for Tablet recording of the performance. Some of which I upload on my Smule Sing! Account.

The Worst thing you can do is sing and play BGM via Headset.
The Noise Cancelling of the Headset will totally annihilate the Backing track to noise and your voice will suffer as well. Also the pitch of the recorded audio will differ from the pitch of your phone´s output.

Scarlett doesn't work for some reason probally because comedy night makes that you can only use 1 port of it

There are virtual cable apps you can get to combine a player (music) and a recorder (mic)

Obviously only if the headset has the according capabilities.

0_o ???
How is that supposed to be physically possible? You need time stretching, DSP based pitch shifting or at least a bug that messes up the samplerates for this to happen.

I was lucky a enough to find a solution for this without buying any new equipment. I use foobar2000 with an ASIO output plugin to redirect the music to some unused logical ASIO outputs of my soundcard. Then I use a feature of my soundcard (not every soundcard supports this and this is exactly where I was lucky) that allows digital mixing and redirecting between arbitrary interfaces. I take the data from the logical ASIO outputs mentioned previously and mix it together with the analog input that the mic is connected to (the mic input is the only analog part in the whole story). The mixed signal is then redirected to the default recording input of Windows, where the game takes it's input stream from.
The funny thing it that I concidered this feature useless until I started playing this game.

I normally can use "What You Hear" setting on my SB card and the music from Winamp plays through and I can sing over it. It works on Teamspeak and Twitch just fine and I do it often, BUT, it does not work in Comedy Night. I can get my guitar out and hook up my mixer (like when on Twitch but shouldn't have to do that.
