'[userscript] Did not find 'discord-screenaudio-virtmic', trying again in 100ms' is repeated many times in the terminal

I have the same issue... Did you find any fixes?

Having same issue here. I'm using arch linux 6.1.9-zen1-1-zen using the AUR package. Did you use the same platform too, @RedNekoderr @tomjeannesson ? Maybe it's just a problem in the AUR package. I will test the flatpack if that fixes the issue

I'm on Ubuntu and fixed the issue by changing my audio drivers.

Flatpak version only lead to more errors and missing deps than the AUR version. Having a quick look at the code without debbuging, it seems the error is in in assets/userscript.js file:

function setGetDisplayMedia(video = true, overrideArgs = undefined) {
  const getDisplayMedia = async (...args) => {
    var id;
    try {
      let myDiscordAudioSink = await getAudioDevice(
        "discord-screenaudio-virtmic"
      );
      id = myDiscordAudioSink.deviceId;
    } catch (error) {
      id = "default";
    }

Somehow cannot find discord-screenaudio-virtmic so it gives the error defined in getAudioDevice(). Virtmic traces back to src/virtmic.cpp. However, have zero knowledge on cpp here, so maybe the problem is there. The file has lots of references to pipewire and creates the discord-screenaudio-virtmic audio device in line 104:

  auto virtual_mic = core.create("adapter",
                                 {{"node.name", "discord-screenaudio-virtmic"},
                                  {"media.class", "Audio/Source/Virtual"},
                                  {"factory.name", "support.null-audio-sink"},
                                  {"audio.channels", "2"},
                                  {"audio.position", "FL,FR"}},
                                 pipewire::node::type, pipewire::node::version,
                                 pipewire::update_strategy::none);

Maybe always has been a problem with pipewire?

Can you please provide more info? This could help us a lot 🙏

I've kept searching on this problem. Turns out this code from assets/userscript.js doesn't work:

  await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
    audio: true,
  });

Weird fact is my microphone doesn't work either. My guess is the "Allow to use the microphone?" alert when a website requests navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia doesn't shown to the user. Any more solutions? Maybe it's related to #78 ?

Solved it by adding pipewire-pulse package

Yeah sure! I used the following advice to change from Pulse to PipeWire. https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/pipewire-replace-pulseaudio-ubuntu-2204/ Hope this helps!

Thank you! I've solved the problem by installing pipewire-pulse in my system. It's weird because I've already been using pipewire in my system (Because pulseaudio is completely replaced by it) but for some reason discoord-sa doesn't detect the virtual mic.

My problem was related to this issue #78 in which I've posted my fix too. @RedNekoderr did you fixed i?
