(virtual source sounded better they said)

using latest version flatpak prismlauncher (error also occurs in non-flatpak prismlauncher)

Minecraft version

1.20.2

Mod/Plugin version

1.20.2-2.5.12

Mod/Plugin loader and version

see screenshot

Steps to reproduce

(issue happens in my server and in another server too so it's not server specific)

1. have a steam deck and use it's internal mic
2. test the mic online(good quality)
3. test the mic in simple voice chat(good quality)
4. have a friend join SVC group(they hear bad quality, you hear their mic perfectly fine)
5. or record your own audio(also bad quality)

Expected behavior

the mic sounds the same for others as in the test mic option

i think i kind of fixed it by using the non flatpak prismlauncher(appimage) and the config because now the recordings sound good but still it should work with flatpak

You are using an unsupported version of the mod.

As far as I know flatpak does sandbox the application and thus might cause issues. Thats why we generally don't support that. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html

the microphone is detected and works fine even in simple voice chat preview microphone option, also why is the version i use unsupported?
