Question / Help Capture Card / Audio Outputs

[Fonic_Artes]

Alright, I've took some time to tinker and think and I decided to come and ask as well.

I have a AverMedia ExtremeCap U3, running properly enough I can play in my OBS preview window (both editions).

So I have a starting screen for a stream with a muted capture of my capture card.
I also have a regular scene with the capture card putting audio out to the desktop.

I noticed that the audio outputting to desktop will always run, no matter which scene you swap to.
I also noticed that you can't have 2 copies of the same source (1 muted version, 1 regular version).
Is there a way to get it to work, or shall I wait for a bit longer for another version of Multiplatform in the future?

From what I've used of it so far, aside my issue listed, it's been a wonderful thing.

Also as a suggestion, similar to how there's a Properties button, could you have a Filter button?

DirectShow Sources (Video Capture Device) are global and will continue running even when you switch to another scene.

The only way to solve this currently is to use multiple scene collections.

I found a workaround that works for me. I switch to scenes using hotkeys (Startup, Live, BRB and Thanks). I have setup NUM1/2/3/4 as the hotkeys. I noticed that I can use the same hotkey for multiple things. So, when I switch to my quiet scenes (Startup/BRB/Thanks), the same hotkey mutes the audio sources. Thankfully you can also set multiple keys to the same action.

So, in Hotkeys:

Startup Scene

Switch to Scene: NUM1
​

Live Scene

Switch to Scene: NUM2
​

BRB Scene

Switch to Scene: NUM3​

Thanks Scene

Switch to Scene: NUM4
​

Desktop Audio Source

Mute: NUM1
Mute: NUM3
Mute: NUM4
Unmute: NUM2​

Mic Audio Source

Mute: NUM1
Mute: NUM3
Mute: NUM4
Unmute: NUM2
​

It works perfectly for me. Hopefully this will help you out.

Cheers
