[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 81 points 1 year ago (5 children) IIRC, Spotify watches the system volume and doesn’t pay for streams playing when it’s muted. Physically unplugging your speakers should work, though. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 year ago (3 children) If you have a desktop and not a laptop, it's always a great idea to get a separate sound controller. Either a dac/amp for nice headphones, volume controls on a wireless headset, or even buy a sound mixer like the rodecaster duo so you can assign independent applications to each physical slider on the mixer. I do that last one and it's such a quality of life improvement if you use your PC a lot. All of these options can't be seen from Spotify. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] qaz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children) I don't think a site can view your system volume.

Most people don't need the one I have, and smaller ones can serve the same purpose. permalink fedilink source parent [–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* I have a Zoom L12 for mixing/recording my synthesizers, PC system sound and additional PC audio interface. I got it used for $500. You can get super cheap mixers as well, but the quality will probably be hit-or-miss. (Proper grounding and interference being the biggest issues.) I got lucky with a $40 4 channel mixer that I use when running too many synths and just need to route sound somehow. permalink fedilink source parent [+] olicvb@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago* you can assign independent applications > I know you can do this in windows without needing an extra sound controller it's in 'Settings>system>Sound>Volume Mixer' Yeah, but separate physical controls are beneficial when you have full-screen apps, are busy, don't want to lose your place, or if you need to do it more frequently and quickly than the sound mixer allows.
