I really want this feature. There are streamers that I do like to watch, but I really hate the music they listen to so I have to make a choice to watch them and sit through their music or watch someone else when they are listening to stuff I don't want to hear.

This is the kind of feature that seems trivial at first glance but would actually be massively adopted.

This post is from a year ago, but I still think this would be such a great feature that sets the bar higher for other streaming platform competitors, and would add so much value for both viewer and streamer.

You might want to hear someone as a podcast, without any other audio (like music/game sfx) affecting. You could even set a notification that shows "This streamer has Audio Channels enabled - Subscribe to manage your audio channel options!" when someone has this feature enabled.

I mean, please Twitch devs, hire me at this point and I'll develop this myself.

I was thinking about this today! This would be a fantastic implementation. Sometimes you want to listen to your own music and streamer is playing loud music but you still want to enjoy your own music and their stream without clashing audio. Many reasons to be able to implement audio channels that the viewer can adjust.

Having the ability to control the music volume would be real nice, I often encounter music clashes and it's horrible, so being able to adjust, or mute the audio track would be really nice.

You could also inform the streamer, they could be told about patterns in volume increases or reductions, when they occurred and how many people adjusted the volume of what track and when.

please add this, when playing the same game as the streamer, it sucks to hear audio queue's that are from the streamers game and not yours.

Yes, it would help in many ways and would be an optional feature for streamers, but those who have their streams separated in channels will be able to bring a unique experience to their viewers by allowing them to customize what they hear the most.

Make sure to share this idea to others to gather more traction and make this easier for Twitch devs to find!

This would greatly help hearing impaired people, like myself, focus on the actual microphone levels of the streamer and decrease all the other clutter without it being an annoyance to other viewers

Another second here. I'm always talking about this. It's a great feature when listening to multiple streams as well.

I second this, its totaly needed.
