Want to hear notifications for new followers, but not the music coming via song requests!

[SeanTheSherpa]

Hello all. As of right now I’m streaming using OBS and the Razer Ripsaw with my xbox. I have it set to play the alert sound on my laptop when I get a new follower so I don’t forget to acknowledge them.

That has worked fine. The problem is when I try to let music play in the stream. I want to mute the music on my end so that it doesn’t loop and echo into the mic and distort the sound. But I still want to hear my alerts while blocking the music sound. I can plug in headphones and then the music & alerts will BOTH be inaudible, or I can change the playback speaker which will again mute both music and alerts on my end.

But is there a way to just mute the music playback and leave my alerts alone? Can I independently set nightbot to play the music to an inaudible speaker source while leaving my notifications playing through the laptop? I hope my question makes sense.

You can set the nightbot audio to a fake sound source using something like virtual audio cable, but you seem to be using autodj in a way that isn’t really supported. The point of it is for you to listen to it and allow your viewers to request songs. So i can’t say that nightbot will support what you are trying to do natively, but there are programs to mess with audio streams to do what you want, though i haven’t personally used them.
