Cannot capture system audio with ffmpeg on windows 11

1 hour and 2 dislikes, what a toxic community. I am glad gpt came out.

Anyway, I managed to use voice meeter as an intermediate microphone input.
I am calling it from C++ as:

void startVideoRecording(std::string image_name) {
std::string ffmpegCommand = 
    "ffmpeg -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -i desktop -f dshow -i audio=\"Voicemeeter Out B1 (VB-Audio Voicemeeter VAIO)\" "
    "-c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -s 640x480 -pix_fmt yuv420p -acodec aac " + image_name;
std::system(ffmpegCommand.c_str());

}
