I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of another issue, and this was resolved back then with a comment describing that you can configure this in Discord settings (so again, this is not a WebCord issue).

[qulxizer]

you are right there is you can configure it in discord settings but there issue still there after turning the feature off.

if you can take a look into the video i sent, i disabled it from the settings and it doesn't work either, i just tried it in the latest discord release in the aur and it works fine there.

I've tested this with:

const old = navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia;
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia = (...args) => { console.dir(args); return old(...args); }

Looks like this only happens in Discord settings, with normal use Discord respects this setting. And yes, this is Discord bug and has nothing to do with WebCord, if you want the settings to also respect the user-defined automatic gain control, you should report this to Discord to have this fixed at upstream.
