Both

@Milkshiift What does Goofcord use? venmic?

[Milkshiift]

No, just simple audio capture that Chromium provides. This issue is also present in ArmCord (whatever it will be called when you read this), and Vesktop on Windows (because venmic is Linux only).

ArmCord recently made a change that could potentially fix this on Windows, so if someone could test if this problem is present in the latest version of ArmCord on Windows it would be great.

I will look into it

Some info:
This is not getting fixed anytime soon on Windows. There is no Electron API to capture audio of specific windows. I'm guessing this could be possible with some native audio capturing implementation, akin to venmic but for Windows, but that is way out of scope.

Now for Linux, long-term, I plan to implement venmic sometime, though it seems to be a huge pain in the ass to do so. In the meantime, as a workaround, you can use qpwgraph to manually reroute needed audio to GoofCord capture.

I'm just curious about how Discord solves this problem, do you know what they do ?

In addition also you can try helvum to redirect sound sources.
