11 months ago This definitely isn't the issue on WebCord's side, I would say it's the issue on your sound subsystem side. I guess you have the Bluetooth headphones and those could switch automatically to HSP/HFP on PipeWire (they do for me). Also there was no change made to v4.4.0 that could break it, other than a bump to Electron v26 – but you're still on v25 so that's not the case there.
I believe there's a way to disable this behaviour for all applications in PipeWire configuration which you might consider if you use external microphone for speaking. There might be also a way to disable this specifically for WebCord via some Chromium switches.

Bug description
Whilst using Webcord to watch a stream and talk to friends, audio in another app (Minecraft) becomes extremely distorted and horrible to listen to.
Ways to set up:
Additional context
I am on EndeavourOS (arch based) running the app on Wayland. The audio works when using the official discord client so it is most likely a webcord issue. This did not happen on the previous update. I have not tested the other versions of electron, only the version I have reported for.
