That's what someone suggested to me and got me 90% of the way there. The remaining issue is that, on Windows, I had a virtual cable that took browser audio and added it to the discord input so I could individually control volume, and I cannot find a way to do that. I tried to do virtual cables prior to all of this, and just could not get it to work, frustratingly. But, I had equivalent amounts of issues just getting it set up on Windows in the first place, so I'm not super worried about it.
Now I just use Helvum to map the audio from Firefox into the Discord input, but I have to do it every time I log on, and skipping a song or pausing it kills it and I have to redo it in Helvum again. Minor inconvenience, I just don't have the will to fix it rn.
Ah yeah, that's how I handle piping audio in the Discord as well it is unfortunate that it can't remember the connection
Yeah it's a whole thing. The learning curve is so steep with Linux on this kinda thing, cause you can't really just play with settings like you can on Windows. Like I just got Skyrim Nolvus running on it, and it took me, legitimately, 20 hours and multiple reinstalled to get it to go. Idk what was even different when it worked lol, but it works and that's what matters!
I have been parroting how easy it is to just swap for a regular user, tho. Shit installed in like...12 minutes and does 90% of what anyone would ever want out of a PC, no issue.
