Question / Help How do I isolate audio from chrome from application & mic audio streams?

[illusineer]

As my current OBS is set up, I can isolate mic audio from desktop audio, and this makes things very flexible in editing. However, I want to have chrome open playing YouTube videos and have this same flexibility in being able to isolate it in editing by having it on it's own stream. example

stream 1 application audio
stream 2 microphone audio
stream 3 chrome audio (or separate application audio)

I'm very curious to know if it is possible to isolate audio between applications into their own streams while recording in OBS. Thanks

Hi,

you could maybe use a software like https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/ and reroute the audio output to another virtual cable so that OBS can use a different track for chrome audio (as it is on a separate virtual audio cable). Maybe in addition with:

You need to use latest OBS Studio.

I am using OBS 24.0.3 and cannot choose a specific browser as audio source - could you explain a little bit more, please?

The newest OBS can treat individual browser sources (sources added as URLs from inside OBS) as separate audio sources-- it cannot isolate audio from different tabs on an external browser or different external applications.

For that you need Voicemeeter or similar, or other means of isolating different applications from each other.
