Hey,

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow get rid of the skype sound from OBS broadcasting completely.

Simply; i'd like to have people be able to hear everything except for my skype conversation on a livestream.

Help would be appriciated ^^

Just a quick note... if you leave your viewers listening to half of a conversation, it'll be quite off-putting for most as they'll feel excluded, only hearing your responses. Not so much a technical issue there though, as a social one that may not have been considered.

Thanks Jack.

Ferret, didn't mean to just get rid of the actual sound of the people I was talking to on Skype, but was hoping there was a way to just not broadcast the stuff I say on skype but on for example TeamSpeak. A push to talk / push to broadcast function in OBS would be pretty cool.

There is a push to talk function in OBS - check the audio settings.
Separating audio can be pretty hard without a hardware mixer in front of you with more than 2 outputs.

Actually, an external mixer is no real help in this case ?! If you send it a mixed signal of skype+game sound, how would you split it with the mixer? So anyway he has to use a software solution as described in my guide :)
He could after splitting and provided he has enough soundcardoutputs, send the different outputs to a mixer, but on a simple one PC setup I think that would be overkill.

If he has a hardware mixer, he can do that. But multiple outputs are usual, so he needs a second soundcard too. Its expensive and should be done only if its the only option avaliable or if a mixer is already avaliable.
