Option to have Monitoring default to On when adding new source

[theBEMguy]

I like to run all of my audio through monitoring, but this means that every time I add a new source (in my case, new video clips) I need to manually set monitoring options in their Advance Audio Properties in the Audio Mixer from "Monitor Off" to "Monitor and Output".

Each stream I add multiple video clips, and having to (and remembering to) set the advanced audio output from each one, every time is a major pain point.

I would love to see an advanced setting which allows a universal default for monitoring options when new sources / video clips are added to a scene.

One option is to enable this script:

GitHub - lilyinstarlight/obs-monitor-audio: A script for OBS Studio that sets the audio output for all sources (current and new) to be monitored to the default audio output for the system

A script for OBS Studio that sets the audio output for all sources (current and new) to be monitored to the default audio output for the system - lilyinstarlight/obs-monitor-audio

You may also want to change the default monitoring option to something else, to change the defaults edit this script with any text editor and set monitoring type according to this table:
