How to separate audio tracks in OBS for Linux Mint (2025)

Показать описание

TL;DR if you want to do it just input these commands but BE SURE TO REPLACE THE SECOND LINE WITH YOUR AUDIO SOURCE USING THE COMMAND I PROVIDE TO FIND IT (please give a like if this helped you!)

1) pactl list sinks short (run this in terminal to find your audio sink. most likely the one that says RUNNING. Put this into the line that says "PUT YOUR AUDIO SINK HERE")

#!/bin/bash

3) Install qpwgraph via terminal (sudo apt install qpwgraph)
4) Open up startup applications
6) add qpwgraph. Add -m to your arguments so that it starts minimized.
7) restart

8) In discord, change your audio device to output to the device DiscordAudio (or Discord_Audio its one of the two)
9) In obs, add 2 Audio output capture sources for Game Audio and Discord Audio respectively. This should be fairly simple
10) open qpwgraph (will probably start minimized, check bottom right bar), run the game that you want to capture audio
11) in qpwgraph, connect the game audio source to the device that says Game Audio or Game_Audio. Match Fr with Fr and FL with FL. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR MICROPHONE. (ALSO THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE AUDIO SOURCES FOR YOUR GAME. CONNECT THEM ALL TO GAMEAUDIO)
12) Make sure in the patchbay (top left menu) that Activated is on, and that you SAVE THIS. SAVE EVERY NEW GAME YOU ADD TO THIS. YOU WILL NEED TO ADD EVERY GAME. It's the same thing in OBS for Windows
13) Profit. Check OBS with the game running and you'll see game audio is separated from Discord Audio
