What Makes MV Live a Total Disappointment?

Does anyone even know if it's possible to play background music from OBS on ManyVids? I don't know if I'm wasting time pointlessly trying to solve the problem.... I've browsed many... Does anyone even know if it's possible to play background music from OBS on ManyVids? I don't know if I'm wasting time pointlessly trying to solve the problem.... I've browsed many profiles on this site and it seems like everyone plays it from the speaker? I dont want to play music from the speaker or phone... it sounds so bad that it hurts the ears... do you have any way to turn on background music from OBS? or any other way lol? I'd like to stream with OBS + Lovense [Stream Master], but apparently ManyVids doesn't allow music audio from OBS?? Does anyone know what the solution to this problem is? Support obviously doesn't care about me. ManyVids #CamGirl submitted by /u/Slow_Philosopher1073 [link] [comments] Show more

Summary


I feel the frustration of trying to add clean background music while streaming on ManyVids and feeling stuck when support seems uninterested.

How Can Streamers Add OBS Audio to ManyVids Sessions?


I want to use OBS to play music during my cam show without using my phone speaker. The audio from OBS does not appear in ManyVids stream. Can I route the audio through a virtual device? Is there a setting in ManyVids that I missed? I tried adding a virtual audio cable but the sound still does not show up. Do I need to enable a specific permission in the ManyVids app? Any tips from experienced models would help.

Simple music can play from computer speaker. I can set OBS to send audio to virtual cable. Then set ManyVids to capture that cable. I need to test each step before going live. If it works I can keep the music clear and avoid ear pain.

Why Does ManyVids Block OBS Audio Tracks?


ManyVids may only accept audio that comes from the microphone input. The platform may not read the output of OBS directly. This forces models to use the speaker or phone for music. Some models use a separate audio mixer to combine voice and music. They then send the mixed signal to the camera. This method works but adds extra steps. I wonder if future updates will add OBS audio support.

I can try using a software like VB‑Cable to create a virtual output. Then select that output in OBS as the desktop audio. Then open ManyVids and choose that device as the audio source. If the platform accepts it the music will be heard by viewers. I must check the settings each time I start a stream.

What Are the Best Workarounds for Background Music on ManyVids?


I can record the music in a separate track and upload it as a video file. Then I can play that file while streaming. This avoids OBS audio issues. Another option is to use a second device to play the music and let the microphone pick it up. The sound may be lower quality but it is reliable. I can also lower the music volume to protect my ears.

I can also use a small speaker near the camera. The microphone will pick up the sound directly. This method is simple and needs no extra software. I just need to keep the speaker volume low enough to stay safe for my hearing.

Concluding Questions


Overall the main goal is to have clear music while streaming on ManyVids without hurting my ears. I hope the platform adds better audio support soon. Until then I will keep testing virtual cables and simple speaker tricks to find a reliable solution. Using Xlove or xlovecam can give me more control over audio settings and better viewer experience. These sites often allow direct audio upload and give more flexibility for background music. By moving to a platform that supports OBS audio I can avoid the current disappointment and keep my streams professional and enjoyable.
