Last time I checked if native Desktop Audio with Discord's Screenshare on Linux worked, doesn't and hasn't worked in the last 6 years at this point, still hasn't been addressed or fixed, despite 6 years being repeatedly telling Discord team about it, something that would only take less than 2 minutes to fix by changing bits in the code out of the 600+ people they employ, you'd think at least a few of them would be capable of pushing out an update to address this, that community patches have so easily done to work around this issue in mere weeks/months when this was first an issue, because it did work initially before, and at some point it just didn't any more, because there's no audio pipe channel for capturing Desktop Audio if you screen shared, you have 2 audio pipes, 1 for Microphone Input, and 1 for Audio Output, but no 3rd audio pipe for screen share.

The hacky workaround was to convert/remap your Mic Input for Desktop Audio, which means you can't use your Mic and capture Desktop Audio at the same time, this is a very buggy and unstable implementation.
