11 months ago perhaps there is a way around it?

Not from my side at least, depends on how discord screenshare is implemented, I vaguely remember rumors about audio always being merged into mono on discords side though

11 months ago I do know that microphone encoding (at one point) happened on the client side, and someone once wrote a BD plugin that changed the encoding options to make it stereo. Perhaps something similar could be done. If not, then it is what it is.

Interesting idea, maybe you can open a plugin suggestion in the vencord (or rather vesktop as this is more geared towards vesktop specifically) repository with this issue as a reference.
It would may also help if you link the aforementioned plugin ^^

11 months ago im too lazy to make issues, so feel free to move this one around as you fit
here is the plugin i found on my hdd, i don't think it works anymore
//META{"name":"stereoSound"}*//
var stereoSound = function () {
let VoiceConnection = BDV2.WebpackModules.findByUniqueProperties(['getVoiceEngine']).getVoiceEngine().VoiceConnection;
class Stereo extends VoiceConnection {
constructor(a, b, c, d, e) {
super(a, b, c, d, e);
this.origin = super.setTransportOptions;
}
setTransportOptions(obj) {
if (obj.audioEncoder) {
obj.audioEncoder.params = { stereo: "2" };
obj.audioEncoder.channels = 2;
}
if (obj.fec) {
obj.fec = false;
}
if (obj.encodingVoiceBitRate < 960000) {
obj.encodingVoiceBitRate = 398000;
}
this.origin(obj);
window.sound = this;
}
}
return class _ {
getName() { return "Stereo" }
getDescription() { return "" }
getAuthor() { return "" }
getVersion() { return "1" }
load() { }
start() {
BDV2.WebpackModules.findByUniqueProperties(['getVoiceEngine']).getVoiceEngine().VoiceConnection = Stereo;
}
stop() {
BDV2.WebpackModules.findByUniqueProperties(['getVoiceEngine']).getVoiceEngine().VoiceConnection = VoiceConnection;
}
};
}();I could reproduce this, however I supply discord with a stereo audio stream, it seems that discord somehow mixes them somewhere into mono - I'll close this for now, however this might be solvable with a vencord plugin

11 months ago Vee just noted some things that we could try out to possibly make this work, will test those suggestions later

11 months ago so i investigated and: the stream by venmic is correctly stereo, and it is also sent as stereo audio to discord. however, it seems like Discord downmixes it to mono. so it might be a server side restriction (note that vesktop uses WebRTC, while Discord Desktop uses UDP. the WebRTC api might just not support stereo)
we will investigate this further
