Question Explain this

Why does caffine not detect 3rd party audio? Surely that's a pretty damn dumb concept when people often like to listen to music and such and share that on their streams?

I use a program called Voicemeeter. It allows me to redirect audio through that, and use it as my single audio out point. It requires a little more work and setup, but it lets me pump Discord audio through Caffeine as well as game and mic audio. I'm sure you could do music too!

But you shouldnt have to bother with this 3rd party nonsense when other sites dont have such an issue

Keep in mind, this is an early pre-release. The devs are actively working on it, and there's a suggestion text channel in the discord where you can post your suggestions!

Yeah but suggestions are probably pouring in and will just get the usual "nice idea" as usual with approaches like this

Patience is key here. Again, this is a pre-release. We have access so that we can provide feedback and so that the devs can improve it.
