Windows 10: Muffled background audio when on discord

There is a issue with the audio system with whenever i connect my Sony headphones. Normally the sound is perfectly fine and the sound coming from the discord call is fine, but when i join any kind of communication like a discord voice call then the system muffles all background noise that isn't discord. This creates a rather unenjoyable gaming experience, and I have looked online and tried to find a solution, but nothing has worked so far. I see that the problem may be with the Ai noise reducing systems Asus has but I wasn't able to find the setting on my computer. I have a ASUS ROG Zephyrus

Why is the rest of the audio muffled when i am connected to a discord call?

There is a issue with the audio system. normally the sound is perfectly fine, but when i join any kind of communication like a discord voice call then the system muffles all background noise and reduces it, it is still pretty clear and understandable, but the muffled sound create a lot of problems while playing games like valorant it is very uncomfortable cuz the audio feels like its playing the the background and is significantly reduced. I have updated my audio drivers and the device i use is ASUS ROG STRIX G15(2022) , with windows 11 home installed.

Could you please check Discord app's settings?

1. Go to the Discord settings by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom left of the window.

2. Under "App settings", select "Voice & Video";

3. Scroll down to "Attenuation" and move the slider to zero;

4. Disable "When I speak" and "When others speak".

In many cases, such an issue occurs due to a service running in background. So, you can check the task manager whenever the audio gets muffled.
