Troubleshoot Permissions
If you are experiencing audio issues during a Discord call, it could be due to permissions settings on your device. To troubleshoot this problem, you can start by checking the permissions for your microphone and speaker.
1. Check Microphone Permissions:
Go to your device’s settings and ensure that Discord has permission to access your microphone. You can typically find this in the privacy settings under microphone.
2. Check Speaker Permissions:
Similarly, check the permissions for your speaker to make sure Discord is allowed to use it. This can usually be found in the same privacy settings under speaker or audio.
3. Restart Discord:
Sometimes simply restarting the Discord app can resolve any permission issues. Close the app completely and then reopen it to see if the audio is working properly.
F.A.Qs
Why isn’t my Discord call audio working?
Your Discord call audio may not be working because the input/output device in Voice Settings may not be set to the correct device you are using. Additionally, check your Volume Settings for both input and output modes. If the issue persists, try resetting your voice and audio settings by selecting “Reset Voice Settings” in the settings menu.
Why can’t I hear audio on Discord stream?
You can’t hear audio on Discord stream because the audio sharing setting may not be enabled, or the incorrect audio device may be selected in your output settings. Make sure to check and adjust these settings accordingly.
Why can’t I hear anyone on Discord but they can hear me?
You are unable to hear anyone on Discord but they can hear you due to potential issues with your input/output device settings, voice volume settings in Discord, or problems with your microphone or speakers. Make sure to check and adjust your audio settings accordingly to resolve the issue.
Why can’t I hear anything on Discord mobile?
You can’t hear anything on Discord mobile because your device or the Discord in-app volume may be muted. Adjusting the volume should fix the issue. Discord needs specific permissions, including access to your device’s speakers, to function properly.
