Audio Mixer for Viewers
As a streamer i can stream on OBS with up to 5 diff tracks, Track 1 Game Volume, Track 2 Mic, Track 3 Music.
What i would love to see is as a viewer display those 3 tracks so i can mute or lower volume of the music but hear the game and streamer, or mute the streamer to listen to the game ect. i feel this shouldn't be too difficult and would massively improve the experience for myself and many others, i think.

could be useueful as a next step to send analitics of users prefered settings to the streamer so we know if a majority prefer the music off, or game volume lowered ect.
personally when im playing a game myself i only want to hear the streamers voice, no game sound no music. if im just watching them i want game sound and voice no music unless its a focus part of the stream

I'm a new music streamer and not a professional musician. A viewer-side-mixer would help my viewers give me feedback on my audio levels, ie mic vs keyboard, as the most engaged viewers could adjust themselves and then let me know what their preferred settings are, so that I can adjust to match for everyone to enjoy.
Also when I'm streaming games, viewers would like to mute the music and play their own.
Viewers who enter the stream and are not happy with the levels or music can immediately fix it.
All these use cases would increase the enjoyment level of my streams, viewer retention, and help me make my stream better!

I have been wanting this feature implemented for about 5 years now. There have been times when watching streams where I would prefer to adjust the streamer's mic or the game's audio or stream alerts audio.
The biggest issue that I can see with Twitch being able to do this is that streamers can only use one audio track to stream to Twitch. If Twitch is capable of accepting multiple audio tracks for live streaming, this should be doable. I'm hoping that Twitch will find a way to implement this feature.

This could be expanded to allow users to select audio track, a broadcaster could stream a bunch of different music styles, and the viewer could pick which one they want to listen too or mute the music tracks and listen to their own music.

Would absolutely love this idea, I also run mixes on OBS and would like the chat to have the ability on desktop at least to turn off certain Sounds.. I have a lot of interactive sound redeems and video redeems via channel points, this can make the stream distruptful but my community loves it, not so much for new comers. If they had the ability to turn off or lower the sound redeems and continue on with the stream it would be fantastic. TWITCH LISTEN TO THIS IDEA.
