No Sound When Streaming on Discord? Here’s How to Solve It
Discord is one of the most popular chatting and social media platforms where gamers and non-gamers can connect with one another. It is user-friendly and allows users to create servers to chat and share content. However, sometimes users encounter an issue with the sound when streaming on Discord. It can be quite frustrating, but don’t worry, there are a few solutions that can help you resolve this issue.
- Check Your Audio Output Settings
The first and most obvious step to take is to check your audio output settings. Ensure that you have selected the right output device on Discord that you want to use, such as headphones or speakers. If you have a separate headphone jack, make sure you have selected the right one or make sure that it’s plugged in, and the volume is turned up.
- Restart Discord
If checking your audio output settings doesn’t solve the issue, try restarting your Discord app. Quite often, a simple restart can fix any software-related issues. Close the app and then reopen it, and try streaming again to see if the sound now works.
- Adjust Discord Sound Settings
If restarting Discord doesn’t work, try adjusting the sound settings in the app. You can increase or decrease the input and output volume or adjust the sensitivity to find what works for you. For many people, a lower sensitivity and higher output volume work best when using Discord.
- Update Your Audio Drivers
Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause sound problems on Discord. Make sure to update your audio drivers on your computer, laptop, or mobile device. A quick Google search will get you started if you don’t know how to update your drivers.
- Check Your Firewall/Anti-Virus
Sometimes, your Firewall or anti-virus software can block Discord from streaming volume. Check your Firewall or anti-virus settings, and make sure that Discord has access to the internet and isn’t blocked.
- Discord Issues
Finally, sometimes the problem is on Discord’s side. Check the Discord server status page or their social media handles for any ongoing issues or outages. If there is an ongoing issue, you might have to wait until Discord resolves the problem.
