Checking Audio Levels in Inactive/Different Scene

I have searched around for how to do this unsuccessfully, and before I give up on this idea I wanted to be 100% sure that it's not a feature before I give up on the idea so I'm coming to the experts.

I want use OBS primarily for streaming. I start with a "stream starting soon" scene before jumping into the actual stream with a "gameplay" scene. It would be really cool to check my various audio source levels in the Audio Mixer window of the "gameplay" scene while the "stream starting soon" scene is active. Is that possible if the two scenes do not share any of the same audio sources? I know I can check my levels via recording prior to beginning to broadcast, and I can keep doing that for now. However, if I could check it all in the 1-2 minutes before I actually start streaming, that would be awesome for my workflow.

Thanks all for your help and time in advance!

There is not, no.

I'm curious why your audio levels are changing though? If the system is set up and properly normalized, there shouldn't be a need to check as nothing should change?

I think it's an issue with microphone positioning and technique, but I'll let you know if it turns out to be more interesting than that.

Thanks for your response!

Oh no InteractiveDNA please tell here how to monitoring sound level in OBS.
No sound level from audio input - sound level in OBS.

Because in my opinion not what, you spam this group, a never ending question - check on my website / blog.

in the active scene, you can create an audio source with the same device input as in the inactive scene and set the audio monitoring to "Monitor only (mute output)"
