Frequently Asked Questions
Can I control CHARTWIN music volume separately from game audio in OBS?
Yes. By routing CHARTWIN through a Browser Source or virtual audio cable, you can assign it to a dedicated audio track in OBS. This gives you independent volume control for the music without affecting your game, microphone, or other audio sources. It is the recommended setup for professional-quality stream audio.
Does Streamlabs support browser-based music sources like CHARTWIN?
Yes. Streamlabs supports Browser Source widgets that can load web-based audio players, including the CHARTWIN web player. Once added as a source, you can control volume and visibility just like any other source in your scene.
What is a virtual audio cable and do I need one for CHARTWIN?
A virtual audio cable is software that creates a virtual audio input/output device on your computer, allowing you to route audio between applications. For CHARTWIN, it is optional but useful if you want maximum control over your audio mix. Tools like VB-Audio Virtual Cable or Voicemeeter work well. Without it, a Browser Source in OBS is sufficient for most streamers.
