Remote Play Together - All Audio Streaming Issue

[myGuy080]

I am wondering if anybody else has this issue or has found a way to fix it. When I invite others to Remote Play Together all of my desktop audio goes across, not just the game audio. I can't find a setting to control this. Does anybody else have this issue or know what I can look at to fix this? It is very annoying when using Mumble/Discord because they hear their voice echo.

I am using Manjaro OS and have streamed with somebody using Linux and somebody else using Windows. Everything else seems to work great, just this issue.

I have the same issue with Xubuntu.

As far as i can tell, the issue comes from pulseaudio. The remote play audio stream that is sent to the peer is the "monitor" version of the default output device.
I don't know enough about pulse audio or remote play to dig more and find out why this happens.

@myGuy080, you mention that you used remote play with other linux user. Did he, as a host, send you all the desktop audio too or it was just when you where hosting?

@Shyrak Yeah I was thinking it is something with pulseaudio, and I don't know enough about that. The other Linux user was using Arch and yeah same issue when he would host. Must be a linux/pulseaudio specific thing.

I have exactly the same issue. We checked on several devices: MacOS + Windows, Windows + Windows. Linux + Windows.
We also checked Discord's issue, but it was false: run Discord on Android/iPhone on both side and connect Steam Link to PC. I still heard double echo of me and remote players too. I even disabled mic in system and still heard echo!
After several tries we found issue - you need disable steam audio output mixer to less as possible and set game gain to maximum, than you reduct selfecho but it still be presented.
There is no changes is set/unset checkbox "Play audio on host", echo still exists.
Seems this a Steam problem.
