Question / Help -- Soundproblem while streaming HS and playing WoW

[Leolph]

Well, first of all I want to say that OBS is great software and want to thank all guys who are involved making this projekt possible. THANKS!

My setup:
OBS configured with Twitch.TV and I stream the game "Hearthstone".
My machine has 3 monitors, on monitor LEFT side Hearthstone (window mode) stream is running.
Monitor in the middle is my working monitor, browsing the web, doing things.
Monitor RIGHT side is the World of Warcraft monitor, multiple instances of the game are running in window mode.
OS: Win7 64 Bit

So, everything is working fine, except that if I switch to any window except for HS-window, the sound of HS is muted and desktop sound or WoW-Sound is streamed instead of HS sound. I checked out my soundsettings on windows, but didn't find anything.

OBS audiosettings:
Desktop Audio: default (set)
possible choices:
1-speakers realtek high definition audio
2-one of my monitor speakers (the one connected via HDMI, the other two are DVI)
3-realtek digital output
4-microsoft headset


As for now, I'd like to stream Hs-window with HS-sound. Unfocussing the HS-window does stop streaming its sound and there is desktop sound (klicks or stuff like that). I coult turn off WoW sound, but if I do, the problem remains, the HS-game sound is not streamed.

Is there a solution for this problem? Can I configure OBS to stream only HS-window sound like video does?


TIA for any help!

Most likely Hearthstone has been programmed to mute its own audio when its window loses focus (as many programs do) as a 'polite' measure by the developers. This is up to the program itself, and is not something OBS can change. You should look in the options for a sound option similar to 'continue playing audio while in the background'.

There is no way under Windows to say 'capture only audio from X program'. That's not how the audio subsystem under Windows works.
