Windows 10: How to fix audio problems with Discord Calls.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem forever and nothing helps. I have a wired headset and it works on my xbox but absolutely drops on my computer when in calls. I've updated my drivers, I've turned off enhanced audio, I've follewed forums and tutorials. Bottom line, I cannot hear games or Spotify when in Discord calls. Most forums I se are discussing Bluetooth headsets but I am wired.

Only Discord Call audio is playing (sometimes)

Hi, Sam Flanagan

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you're experiencing with Discord call audio. I understand how important it is for you to have a smooth communication experience.

To troubleshoot this issue, please try the following steps:

1. Check the Discord settings:
   
   • Make sure that the correct audio input and output devices are selected in Discord settings. Sometimes, the wrong devices can cause audio issues.
     
   • If you're using Discord overlay, try disabling it to see if it's causing any conflicts with the audio.
     
2. Update Audio Drivers: Ensure that your audio drivers are up-to-date. Outdated or corrupt drivers can lead to various audio problems.
   
3. Check for Discord Updates: Make sure that Discord is updated to the latest version. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve audio issues.
   
4. Check Other Applications: Ensure that no other applications are using your audio devices simultaneously, as this can cause conflicts.
   

If the issue persists after trying these steps, it's possible that there may be a deeper issue with Discord itself. You can reach out to Discord support for further assistance.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

How to Fix System Audio Playing through Discord

 

Windows game bar not recording discord audio, Discord blocking all other audio sources

Windows 10, no speaker, I use my earbuds for sound/mic.
When I am in a discord call, I do not get any audio from other sources, only Discord. No game sounds, no Youtube, no Minecraft, no sound replaying when I change the volume. I've tried setting my audio devices and updating the drivers as well as messing around in Discord audio and video settings, but I can still only hear Discord.

When I record a clip from the last 30 seconds using XBox Gamebar, It does not pick up call audio from Discord, no audio from my voice either, but it does pick up game audio, system audio, etc.

Is there a way to be able to hear all forms of audio while in a call, as well as record all forms of audio using Xbox Gamebar?
