Master Audio
The Master Audio panel enables you to control the output volume level, mute audio
output, and mute the line-out feed for Preview and Live displays. To display Master
Audio for Preview and Live displays, click Layout > Master Audio. Click again to hide the
Master audio controls.
The Preview and Live Master Volume controls enables you to adjust the master audio
volume for Preview and Live separately. Click and drag the slider control up or down to
set the volume. The decibel scale next to the slider indicates the audio level. When you
take a Preview shot live, the Live audio controls are set to the levels set in Preview.
The Master Mute button controls the mute of the Live master audio (what your viewers
hear). Even when you mute the output, the encoder still generates audio but it is silent.
If you don’t want to broadcast audio, modify the Encoder Presets to not process audio
through the encoder.
The Preview and Live Line-Out Mute buttons control what you hear locally. When line-
out is muted, audio is not sent to your headphones or speakers, but your viewers still
hear it. The two controls are mutually exclusive -- you cannot have both on at the same
time, but you can mute both.
