this would be incredible

When are we going to see this great feature?
or is twitch only focused on adding useless features and ads?

I know twitch lacks developers with skills, but this feature is really easy to implement.

I was just about to write about this topic and I was happy to see this article. I support it 100%.

Just got the 100% same thought, i totally agree this is must have feature. I'm ear sensitive person, can hear inproper microphone configuration (overload, clipping) very well and suffer from that - so many streamers fail to configure their microphones or just have cheap ones that are sound just bad. Or use obscene language too much.
Or stream notifications are too loud and irritating.
Or sometimes i just dont want to listen to streamer voice and want to chill and listen to the game only.

I really want this feature!

could use that for live processing steam data

Would be super helpful. Also opus support would allow to cut the bitrate more than in half, which could be helpful for having 2-3 audio streams within the same bandwidth

Add multiple/seperate audio channels so user can isolate voice/music/other audio channels on their end in the browser, OBS already has multiple audio channel capabilities and streamers could do this to listen to ONLY the microphone/voice if they like and control levels on their end when streamers audio isn't quite right.

Id like to see an option for a second audio channel per streamer, intended to be adjusted by users in the twitch interface. i.e. Ch1: voice, Ch2: music or background fx. Or Ch1: Host Ch2: Guest or cohost. Endusers could adjust the secondary channel individually. Volume (Mute/Halfmute), Balance, and a simple 3 band EQ on each channel available to the user. Allows users to filter alt audio and just listen to streamer sans music or just lower it, it would personally customize the experience for more immersion (like sitting closer to the cohost or the host for a better view)

2 audio sources that the streamers can setup and viewers can control separately. for instance the streamer can have one audio source just for their voice and nother for their music. This would allow viewers to increase or decrease just a streamers voice, or just a streamers music

🧎 some streamers play the same 24/7 copyright free music every stream
🧎 some streamers play their bad spotify playlist on every stream
🧎 some streamers play their music too loud so I can't hear them

need multiple volume sliders, even if it's hidden behind an advanced control

Hey, it would be great if you guys could add a new feature that could turn down the game volume on a stream. This is good for playing games that requires sound while watching a stream at the same time. This is Just an
suggestion.

Thank you

Save the vod, for those who transmit via cell phone without infringing copyright. Only music played on Spotify or whatever music app used. Separate audio - music from vod

Maybe this needs more attention to be heared?
Everyone who wants this feature could tell one or more of their favorite Streamers about this idea to spread it. And maybe make them vote here.

This feature would be very, very appreciated. If the viewers (and I) would be able to at least choose between audio channels (since most streamers already are using two audio channels; one where you can hear everything, and one without music, for the vod tracks), it could enhance the experience a lot.

I really hope we'll see this in the future.

It would be lovely indeed. Since a lot of streamers already uses two audio channels (One for live and one for the vods, and without music playing), adding an option for the viewer to chose between audio streams in live streams would come in handy as a streamer an also as viewer.

Adding separate volume controls for the channels sounds more appealing, but it might be difficult to perfectly synchronize the audio streams together.

I hate to watch streamer with good content and bad music choice.

It would be nice if my viewers could control if they want to hear my music or not without affecting other viewers that do want to hear music.

Maybe a colaboration with OBS or provide some audio channel or layer that user can disable.

That would such a good feature for the community if it could be achieved!

Since Twitch streamers can control their microphone and audio track separately, it would be great if the viewers also had 2 volume sliders to adjust them separately. This would help with multi stream audio clarity, or if the viewer and streamer has very different taste in music.

Simulcasting is now prohibited,
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/simulcasting-guidelines?language=en_US
so the feature that allows listeners to turn off some audio is really needed for me.
(I used to simulcast video games "with my voice" and "without my voice" so that listeners could choose their preference)

I believe this is the hottest feature request (689 votes!) but I'm not seeing any comments or progress reports from admin. Is there any progress on the situation?

Streamers should be able to play their music directly from Twitch so viewers can choose to mute it.

Being able to individually adjust volume of game, streamer voice, music, etc would be beneficial to people with auditory sensitivity, PTSD, and several others.
