Discord Audio Share on Linux

A simple utility allowing you to share audio when using discord on linux. This works by routing your application audio and your mic input into a single audio source, which is then used by discord as the input device.

In order to know the pulseaudio name for your devices, try checking the input and output names used on discord. They will be similiar to the ones in pulseaudio.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Discord App (We currently do not have support for Discord on the browser)
• Pulseaudio is required
• This utility uses Rofi to create a prompt to select an application. Follow the installation instructions to install rofi.

Usage

When running discordaudioshare, a prompt shows up asking you to select an application. You can select the application you want to share audio of from there.

• Make sure the application is playing audio before selecting. If the application isn't playing any audio, nothing would happen.
• You should be in a discord call before using this

Running discordaudioshare again would stop sharing audio.
