How to troubleshoot speaker or microphone issues Check the device How to troubleshoot speaker or microphone issues.Follow the steps below to ensure that your speaker and microphone are working properly. Hopefully, this thread will stick around.If participants can’t hear you, or you can’t hear any sound from your device during a call, there may be an issue with your speaker or microphone. This was EXTREMELY annoying and I couldn't find a quick walkthrough for this anywhere. This is not permanent and you can re-enable it by following the same steps. Once you're there, right-click the headset and 'disconnect'. You'll need to use another microphone (easier for laptop users).Ĭontrol Panel -> Sound Settings -> Sound Settings Control Panel (on the right side lists) -> Recording In windows 10, you can disconnect the microphone portion completely and that seems to fix the problem. You'll notice that although the post is old, there is a comment about someone trying this with Bluetooth 5.0. If you are using Bluetooth headphones and they are also being used as a microphone, there is just not simply enough bandwidth in the headset to do both. Neither the basic nor the complete uninstall worked today. I will attempt to do a basic uninstall, and let people know how it goes. Upon reinstalling Discord, the problem was solved until today. This entailed uninstalling the app, then manually removing the registry entries and app data (Things Discord should be deleting when they uninstall, but that is a different issue.). Two days ago, I did a complete uninstall of Discord. Neither of these are what I would call a solution, as it negates the features of being able to isolate the chat sounds.

Also, if I go into the sound device properties check then uncheck the 'Disable all enhancements' box and click apply it will start working again. If I change the output to the headphones, the sound for the other devices comes back and works fine. In the Discord Voice and Video settings, the headset output is listed as the certified one, and the headphones (game output) is somewhere else in the list. Like what I assume many of you all have, there are two separate outputs for the headset, a game and a chat output. I am using the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headset, which is 'Certified' by Discord. My discord started doing this about two or three weeks ago.
