Build in audio mixer to be able to mute programs on stream
Sometimes I'd like to mute specific programs for a stream (i.e. Discord, Chrome, etc). It'd be nice to allow users to adjust specific program volume/mute programs entirely without having to setup an external program.
We recently launched the Advanced Audio Mixer feature. This feature requires you to install an update to the audio mixer inside the global audio settings page. Once installed, you will be able to add individual applications as audio sources into your audio mixer. This will allow you to control audio being output to your stream on a per-app basis. An easy example to visualize is with the Advanced Audio Mixer, you could add Discord to your audio source list and mute it for your stream, while still hearing it locally on your PC.
In conjunction with this new feature, we also added support to exclude individual audio sources from your Clips and VODs. This setting is available in the audio source settings when adding or editing audio sources.
Lastly, we also added a “Sound Check” mode that allows you to play back the exact audio being output to your stream. This mode will mute any audio on your machine that is not being sent to your viewers so you can easily hear exactly what is being sent to the stream.

This. The ability to change volume for especially 1) game sound, 2) voice coms and 3) music at an individual basis would make it worth swapping softwares straight off the bat. It is one of the most iffy setups to sort out yourself and one of the setups that affects a stream the most - do want!
