What happens when the bug or crash occurs?

Regardless of the status of the noise suppression setting under Voice & Video, my microphone sounds like it is being noise suppressed incredibly hard when testing and to other users in a call.
My microphone sounds perfectly fine and clear outside of Vesktop.

What is the expected behaviour?

Noise suppression should be disabled when it is set to None in Discord's settings.

How do you recreate this bug or crash?

1. Try disabling noise suppression
2. Run a mic test within Discord
   Example

Debug Logs

No errors in command line.

Request Agreement

• I have searched the existing issues and found no similar issue
• I am using the latest Vesktop and Vencord versions
• This issue occurs on an official release (not just the AUR or Nix packages)

likely related to #161, try running the script someone posted in the replies and see if it fixes it

If you're talking about the launch option listed, I tried this and it made zero difference. Microphone quality is still really bad

No difference.

After further investigation, this seems to be an issue with how programs that use Pulseaudio grab microphone input through pipewire-pulse. I have the same issue within Steam and Firefox.

[Vendicated]

if that's the case then it's an issue in chromium and not fixable from our side sadly

[kitrodian]

Did some more research, I was apparently completely incorrect.
This is a problem with Vesktop (and other clients that wrap around the web version of Discord) that doesn't happen in the stock Discord app.
There's something with the web version of Discord that Vesktop wraps around that causes this.

that doesn't happen in the stock Discord app

You mean discord web client or discord desktop client?

Desktop Discord client. This issue occurs in the web version of Discord but not in the official Desktop client.

Having same issue on Windows

Can also replicate this, issue present on Vesktop and Discord web, but not the stock desktop client (AUR)

[mintyZer0]

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

[lewisdoesstuff]

I've been using standard discord in the meantime.

I'd honestly be pretty fine with a toggle/plugin that strips/disables noise suppression entirely though

[kerriganx]

The issue persist only if you do "Mic test" in Discord settings. The actual microphone sounds normal to other users in a call.
I did a quick test playing some music through my microphone and hear from second discord account. It looks like noise suppression is used only when I press "Let's Check" button

How strange, also seems to be the case here

[TimkaSR1]

I've heard people say to me that my mic is cutting off when I'm talking so I don't think it's only the case for mic test

Also the case for me, but in addition to that my mic input is delayed for 1-2 seconds. This only happens in web discord cilent or vesktop, official flathub desktop discord client doesn't have that issue.
Really makes me still use the official client...
