Vesktop stream only uses microphone audio

Post by skewbug »

When using Vesktop and streaming my screen/window with audio anyone who views my stream can only hear a duplicate of my microphone audio. I'm running pipewire 1.0.3 and everything else works fine through it. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If it helps at all, while waiting for a reply I've found a temporary band-aid solution that I have to redo every time I restart the Vesktop app. At first I was using Helvum to disconnect my microphone from the chromium input node and replace it with vencord-screen-share, which causes it to work as expected but resets every time I restream. Now I am using pavucontrol to do the same thing in the Recording tab through the drop-down menu on the second chromium input, which at least works until I exit discord. I can continue to use this fix while I wait for a better solution, but I'm looking for a more seamless option and I'm worried that neglecting the root cause may create problems down the line. Thanks in advance.
