Virtmic outputs audio to yourself

[Eetrexx]

Hello,

It seems that while streaming, you can hear the audio of the stream, resulting in hearing the application you are streaming twice (with a small delay).

Current system:

Void Linux (kernel 6.5.12)
Pipewire 0.3.85
Firefox 120
Xorg server 21.1.9
KDE Plasma 5.27

A screenshot of helvum would be helpful.

This is an example of me streaming the sound of a game (Halls of Torment in this case)

If the image is not clear enough I can get another screenshot

I can't replicate this issue, using discord. In your case, the audio is not coming from the addon, it is being sent back out from firefox, so it will be whatever chat software you are using.

Can you test this on Wayland?

I had a shot at #82 tonight, which meant I had to use nightly so I could use unsigned addons, and guess what bug I had?

Are you SURE you're using 120 there, OP? Because 120 doesn't do this but nightly does.

@pallaswept yes, thats the version I was using when the bug happened. At least on X it is happening.

@IceDBorn I tested this on wayland, and the problem doesn't exists there

Here is helvum on wayland

I've tried to test on Google Meet but I couldn't manage to use the extension there.

Sorry for the long delay.

That's bizarre, I was using Wayland when I got it. We can reproduce the same bug, only under opposite circumstances. Weird!

And that's why we hate dealing with Discord...
