Multiple Occurrences for the Same Application in "App Volume and Device Preferences"

I'm currently trying to configure my audio settings to work as-needed for streaming with OBS, aided by VoiceMeeter Potato (VMP). In VMP I am seeing multiple occurrences of the same application under the same virtual outputs. After confirming with VoiceMeeter support that this is not a VMP issue (it's occurring because Windows has the apps listed multiple times under the "App Volume and Device Preferences" menu), I started looking into what I could do to resolve this issue.

As you'll see from the highlighted items in the attached image, I have multiple occurrences of Discord and Microsoft Edge showing. Edge makes some sense, I suppose, since I have two instances of that application currently running, however, there's no distinction in the names and it would make sense (to me) that there should be a dropdown instead of two separate line items or just a single input/output selection for the app "Microsoft Edge."


However, with Discord, I only have one instance of the application running; there shouldn't be multiple examples of it in this menu if Edge is showing up because there's two windows open.


This system's just brutal for rerouting my audio and it's making this whole process far more complicated that it really ought to be.


Any suggestions?
