Stream does not open + no audio sources listed on menu
Hi I am using Ubuntu and the app opens, works well, but as soon as I try to start streaming it shows the list of things I can pass through but only desktop audio is shown despite me playing another audio source in the background. When I select desktop audio the menu closes, no stream gets opened, and when I press the screen share option again, nothing opens and nothing happens. I am a little bit new to Linux, only used it for a few months now so I don't know technical stuff but I do have a good read on my way around the OS and use of the terminal.
Thank you, Grandchild
Exactly same issue with Flatpak on OpenSUSE KDE (also tried package, but that didn't make a .desktop file?), looking at the screenshots on #30 and on the readme I'm not sure if there's some Discord update that broke this since it looks identical to normal Discord and doesn't have the third button next to the camera/screenshare buttons. This happened both on my first try in X11 and in Wayland.
EDIT for more details, like previous report said, clicking screenshare button asks about which audio source to share and screensize/framerate details (with only options being full desktop audio or none) and then when after that nothing open up to ask what screen to use. And the screenshare button won't work until you rejoin the VC.
Hm, I can not reproduce this on my laptop. I am back home again in a few days, I'll try again then in a VM.
Are you both on PipeWire and have the language set to English?
I am glad I am not the only one with this issue. I indeed do use PipeWire and I have my language set to English. What is bizarre is that it works on Mint Cinnamon by installing PipeWire, and it works on Pop_OS!. Which doesn't make too much sense to me because they are both based on Ubuntu. Thank you for looking into it soon.

Perhaps it could be an issue with out of the box Flatpak support on distros, but that would also be weird because after installing Flatpak and everything else to support it, my other Flatpak apps work completely fine so it is pretty strange.
Did you also manually install PipeWire on Ubuntu or is it the default?

I doubt it, the Flatpak works just fine on Arch, where you also have to install it manually

yep have pipewire and English as my only language (although I do have spanish spell check enabled but that shouldn't be related?)

I'm seeing same issue both using flatpak and through AUR. Same spam as Blackcatmaxy mentioned.

Looking at the microphone selection on discord, this does confirm that it simply flat out does not recognize any of my input or output devices nor does it list the virtual microphone. I suspect that since its missing it is causing all of these issues.
Hm, I wasn't able to reproduce this in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed either. Does the normal microphone in discord work or do you also have no audio there?
Normal audio works, but unlike desktop discord it only shows "Default" Input and "Default" Output devices and doesn't show any other options in the dropdowns.
Could this be related? Decided to put my whole log output into a hastebin to see if it could help. There seem to be some errors around like [default] QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to StreamDialog "", which already has a layout and [32376:61:0904/185315.364744:ERROR:audio_rtp_receiver.cc(90)] AudioRtpReceiver::OnSetVolume: No audio channel exists, as well as several deprecation warnings?
Hmm seems like I was wrong and even though I had pipewire installed, the service was not enabled. Checked on my (wayland) laptop and it definitely did have pipewire enabled but still had the same output as well as two more errors
Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory)
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found.
Huh I never knew pipewire was so complicated, recommend a section in the readme telling people if they have issues to run pactl info and if Servername is not "Pulsaudio (on PipeWire x.y.z)" then their set up is not correct. Even on my laptop I was missing pipewire-pulseaudio which after now installing and setting up per the OpenSUSE docs finally lets me share screens with this.
