multiple audio channels
Streams should be able to encode audio into separate audio channels, so that users can independently mix/select audio for each channel. For example, one channel could be music, another could be the streamer's voice, and another for the game/application's audio. In this example, if you were already playing music that you wanted to listen to, you could disable the streamer's music. Or, if you have trouble hearing the streamer's voice, you could turn that up. Or, if you don't want to hear the streamer or music, you could mute them and just listen to the game. I think it would also have a secondary benefit that you could independently remove audio channels in cases of copyright violation, so that the rest of the vod is still good even if there happened to be flagged music on one channel.

You need to create an option so that the user can
for yourself, turn off the music that the streamer listens to -

If we can't get muteable music soon, I am fricken done with twitch. Especially streams that accept audience suggested music. The streamer has it muted why can't I?

Please add a feature that allows the viewer to mute the chosen music by streamer/audience. I understand the concept of taking bits or donos for song requests, but it ruins the stream for a lot of people. I also understand the intention of a streamer personalizing their community/stream with their own music. However, we don't require a DJ whilst viewing most content on twitch. Thank You.

This would be good. Being able to adjust the volume of the streamer microphone and then-all-other-audio on two separate volume bars that the individual viewer can adjust.

This would be super easy to implement as the RTMP protocol that Twitch uses already supports multiple audio channels. But it would also be more expensive for Twitch to transcode/distribute the additional audio channels. I'd love to see this feature for a few more reasons:
1. Surround sound (would be even cooler if Twitch did the downmix from surround to stereo)
2. Multiple languages. You could watch one stream and choose which language you want to watch, would be nice for audio description for vision impaired viewers too. -

This is an amazing idea. I always listen to my own music and would love to turn off streamer music.

I like to play games while watching, but I often have to stop as the audio interrupts my game. If I could choose to mix it differently, that would be awesome, nearly as good as having a streaming service on another screen/tv while playing games

Allow viewers to listen in VOD audio mode during a livestream. Let the viewer toggle off the 2nd audio channel that has music.
I watch a streamer that has a lot of music on during his stream, but he has it set so the music isn't recorded in the VODs. Sometimes I would like to be able to watch the stream live without the music (like in the VODs). That way it is less distracting if I'm trying to multi-task or I can play my own music and still watch. Please provide the option to allow me as a viewer the option to toggle into VOD audio mode, or toggle off/on individual audio channels when multiple channels are provided by the streamer for a live stream.

Please separate audio in channels, streamer voice, game, music ... etc and let us set de volume per channel!

Yes please!

Completely agree. If I want to listen to my own music while watching twitch I can't because streamers have their music :/

leenleonhart commented
Completely agree. Tbh I don't even see much sense in being forced to listen somebody else's music ^^

100% this. There are streamers I don't watch/subscribe to mainly because I don't want to hear their music, even though the content is something I'd be interested in.

We stream live amateur sports and would like to have commentary in more than on language being able to have different audio tracks for different languages would be a great help

Greatest idea of all time

Sometimes when watching a streamer play a game, I can't hear their voice. I am hard of hearing so to be able to turn down the game volume or turn up the streamer's voice volume would help tremendously. I do think it should be up to the streamer to implement this feature. The volume may be fine for others but not for everyone.

It would be amazing if there was a plugin that differentiates the music from the actual volume of the stream. In this way you can still watch the stream but you can listen to your own music. I haven't wachted streamers numerous times because i found their music really bad.
If you were watching a game you would still hear the streamers voice and the sounds of the game but not the music. In this way you can either choose your own music or that of the streamer.

Hola gente de www.twitch.tv, ayer estaba mirando un stream, y el streamer dijo "voy a poner esta canción pero me va a saltar copyright"
Entonces se me ocurrió la idea de que podrían agregar a la plataforma una opción que obligatoriamente el streamer separe la pista de música ya sea (Spotify o su reproductor de música) para que las personas que lo estén viendo puedan apagar la música con un botón y seguir escuchando a su stremer favorito.
Esto lo sugiero por que hay muchas personas que ayudan a su Streamer favoritos a subir momentos importantes a otras plataformas, entonces evitarían problemas de copyright.

after viewing NMP streams i think it would be cool if streamers could split TTS to another audio track too, so I can lower/mute it and not have to listen
