Windows 10: Why does my output audio on my laptop get so bad when I use Discord?

When I use the discord application and join a voice call, the audio on my entire computer gets so bad and muffled. The only thing I can hear is the Discord audio. I've tried fixing the output and input settings that everything online says, like noise suppression and automatic gain control, but nothing helps. Is there anything I can do to fix the audio? This only happens when I use the downloaded version of Discord and not on the web browser version, so I know my headphones are not an issue.

no audio output device installed

I've tried every step that was suggested, still getting no audio output device installed.

 

My audio output devices have disappeared from my HP laptop.

I have an HP laptop running Windows 10. My audio output devices have disappeared. Not just no devices installed, but no devices listed in Device Manager. Tried troubleshooting and still no devices found. Tried connecting USB speakers, but those were not
detected either.

Suggestions?

 

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.
