User Accessibility: Feature Request

Change volume oder mute music from streamer

In OBS The streamer has to put music etc on a line called "music" and this is detected by Twtich and gives another volume control line only for music to the users. This would be nice to have to mute music to hear more of the Gamesound etc. or some other moment when you dont want to listen to the streamers music and this feature would add perfetcly to the option to not hear music in clips, older streams etc.

    *Re-commenting this from another thread for a similar feature*

    I very much would like to see this suggestion become a reality. Below are a few of examples of situations that I would personally find such a feature useful:

    1) I watch a lot of commentary and game dev streamers; many of which who will have background music. There are many times when I'd like to limit the audio to just the voice of the streamer either for audio clarity or attention reasons.

    2) While watching a streamer play games there are often times that I'd like that adjust the volume of the gameplay or the streamer to prevent one from drowning out the other.

    3) Changing my audio output device (headphones, speakers, etc) comes with a different audio quality and treble/bass levels from the same stream. Of course this is caused by my devices, but is something that can make certain aspects of a stream difficult to discern. Being able to adjust the individual audio "tracks" as a view could go a long way to provide a solution to this problem that I have.

    4) This feature could find a use as an accessibility feature by those who are hard-of-hearing or are hearing-impaired by allowing them to selectively adjust volume as needed.

    5) As an accessibility feature for those that experience issues from certain auditory triggers. These could be SFX played on stream from events (such as raids, donations, etc.), gameplay audio, or a number of other sources.

    Most of the above are personal examples where I would find the feature useful as a viewer and may not be applicable to all or many. However, I feel that there many other reasons that other users may have as to why this should be implemented.

    Managing music on streaming platforms is definitely a challenge, especially when you’re trying to balance volume levels or mute certain tracks during live streams. I've run into this issue myself when dealing with music rights and managing tracks. For anyone who creates or distributes music, making sure your tracks are properly managed and accessible can save you from a lot of headaches. From personal experience, having a reliable service to help with distribution and rights management is key. If you're into music production or want to get your tracks out there, checking out https://distrokid.pissedconsumer.com/review.html distrokid can make the process much smoother.
