Discord is a popular online communication platform that has become the go-to platform for gamers and other online communities. It provides seamless audio and video communication that allows users to easily connect with friends, family, and colleagues, but sometimes users may experience issues with their microphones not working on Discord.

If you are experiencing this issue, don’t worry, here are some fixes you should try to resolve the problem:

1. Check Audio Settings

The first thing to do is to ensure that your audio settings are properly configured. Go to your user settings on Discord and then select “Voice & Video.” From there, you can check your input and output devices and ensure that they are selected correctly.

2. Restart the Microphone

If your microphone is still not working on Discord, try restarting it. You can unplug your microphone and plug it back in or turn it off and then turn it on again.

3. Check if the Microphone is Muted

Sometimes, the microphone may be muted, which can cause it not to work on Discord. Ensure that the mute button on your microphone is not activated. You can check this on the mic or in your audio settings on Discord.

4. Grant Discord Access to your Microphone

If you are using a Windows computer, you may need to grant Discord access to your microphone. Go to your Windows settings and search for “Microphone Privacy Settings.” From there, you can enable Discord to access your microphone.

5. Check for Third-party Apps

Other third-party programs may be using your microphone, which can interfere with Discord. Check if there are any other programs running that may be using your microphone and close them or change the settings to prevent them from using your microphone.

6. Reinstall Discord

If the issue persists, you may have to reinstall Discord. Uninstall it and then reinstall it, making sure to follow the installation process correctly.
