How to Mute Discord on OBS & Streamlabs?
Discord notifications & sounds can be irritating for you and your viewers during the live stream. It is definitely a good idea to mute discord audio on OBS while you’re live on your channel.
Now, there are two types of Discord audio you might want to mute while streaming:
- Discord Notifications Sound
- Discord Voice Channel Audio
If you only want to mute Discord notifications so that the notification sound does not interrupt your stream, you can easily do it. We’ll talk about the method in the step-by-step tutorial further in the guide.
But if you want to mute the voice channel audio where you are talking to your teammates, that’s where things get a bit technical and difficult. You want to hear the Voice-channel audio yourself but do not want the viewers to hear it, right?
After hours of research, I found a 100% working method and I’ll guide you with a step-by-step tutorial to mute Discord audio while you’re streaming with OBS studio.
Firstly, let’s look at what you need to do if you just want to mute the Discord Notification sounds.
How to Mute Discord Notification Sounds on OBS?
To mute the Discord notification sound on OBS, all you need to do is enable the Streamer Mode or you can simply disable the notifications from your Discord settings.
1. Open Discord & go inside User Settings by clicking on the gear icon.
2. Look for Streamer Mode & click on it to do the settings.
3. Toggle all the Settings ON to mute Discord Notification Sounds.
Pretty simple, right? If you have a question in mind why do you need to toggle all the settings on in Streamer Mode? It’s because every setting is in favor of you to mute the Discord notification sound.
In fact, there’s an option “Automatically Enable/Disable”, make sure you toggle it on. Basically, if you are running OBS on your computer, this option will automatically enable the streamer mode for you.
You can customize the other options in Streamer Mode as you want, just make sure you toggle on the Disable Sound & Disable Notifications option so that you don’t get notifications while Streamer Mode is enabled.
Also, you can go to User Settings > Notifications & turn on the “Disable all Notification Sounds” option temporarily while you’re streaming with OBS. These are the two methods to mute Discord notification sound, you can use any trick as per your preference.
How to Mute Discord on Streamlabs & OBS with Voicemeeter?
Using Voicemeeter, you can easily mute Discord on Streamlabs & OBS only for the viewers while you’ll be able to hear the Discord audio as usual.
To be honest, OBS currently does not have such an in-built feature where you can mute Discord audio on your streams. Voicemeeter is free software that you can install on your computer to split Discord audio from OBS.
Basically, OBS considers all of your computer’s sounds as a single audio source as it’s coming from your computer. So if you mute the sound, it will mute complete audio for the viewers. By using Voicemeeter, you can assign Discord audio as a separate Audio source inside the OBS studio.
Now, as it is a separate audio source in your OBS scene, you can easily mute it or set the Discord audio level inside the OBS for your viewers while they’ll hear all other audio sources normally like your microphone, etc.
Follow the below step-by-step tutorial to mute Discord Audio on OBS & Streamlabs.
1. Download & Install Voicemeeter Banana & Virtual Audio Cable on your computer.
2. Restart your PC & Search “Sound Settings” on Windows to change Audio Input/Output.
3. Choose Output Device as “Voicemeeter Input” & Input Device as “Voicemeeter Output” respectively.
4. Open Sound Control Panel & under Playback tab, set Voicemeeter Input as Default & inside Recording Tab, set Voicemeeter Output as Default & Voicemeeter Aux Output as Default Communications Device.
5. Now open Voicemeeter, and right-click to Rename Columns as “Microphone” & “Discord” to assign their audio sources in Voicemeeter.
6. In the Microphone column, choose your Microphone in MME format. Similarly, choose”Cable Output VB-Audio Virtual” in the Discord column.
7. Now, simply assign your Speaker Headsets in the A1 Hardware Output dropdown.
8. Similarly choose your Input Device in Discord > Voice & Video Setting. Also, choose Output Device as “Cable Input VB-Audio Virtual”.
9. Now, head over to Streamlabs or OBS, add a new Audio Output Source, rename it as Discord, & choose the Device as “Cable Input VB-Audio Virtual”.
10. Simply, hit the mute button in OBS for Discord Audio Source, or you can also turn down the volume level.
