Question / Help Could be a dumb question, but I can't figure this out..

I'm sure this has been mentioned in the past, and I tried the search feature but had no luck with queries I used. So I apologize if this has come up before.

What I am trying to do with OBS is have it only broadcast things I specify. For example, I am trying to setup an "offline mode" for my stream, which in essence would let the user only see a slide show, and music from WMP player. With that running an OPS minimized, I then open VLC to watch a movie.

The movie audio comes through to my broadcast. So does my music from Foobar. Same with any TS sounds. I'd like to be able to watch a flick, use TS, or listen to a personal music library without everyone hearing it.

I did read on the plugins page there is a DirectShow Audio Source plugin, however I don't believe that is quite what I am looking for, as again even with WMP set with DShow Audio, all of my main broadcast tools can still be heard. Do I really have to put 5+ programs into a separate audio plugin?

Essentially, if I want TS, WMP, and say YouTube on my stream I would need to add wmp.exe, ts.exe, chrome.exe, etc.

Does such a feature exist?

Audio inputs to OBS come from audio endpoints such as your speakers, headphones, etc - you can't specify individual programs since OBS is only able to receive the audio after it's already been mixed by Windows.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Rich.

What you need is Virtual Audio Cable, you will be able to send audio from WMP or TS to an "virtual cable" and record an other "virtual cable" with OBS
