You have to go back to sound settings -> "App volume and device preferences" and manually set each application to whatever device you are using. For me, it's the heyday earbuds. Once I set each one manually everything worked fine. Doing this you can pick and choose which application is using which device. (IE: For me I chose discord to use my computer mic and the game to use my earbuds hands free. Because of the nature of the game I was playing)
You are such a life saver I have been trying to fix this issue for 5 hours thinking my hardware is faulty but I stumbled across this and it works thank you so much
I found that after the mic was disabled I was still having the problem. What ended up working for me was disabling the hands-free audio. Not only did it allow me to hear computer audio again whilst on a call, it make the overall sound quality improve. Thank you for the help!
Thanks bro, I live in Brazil and literally no video in Portuguese explained how to solve this, I managed to solve it with your video even without understanding English, thank you very much!!
Afaik Bluetooth does not have enough bandwidth to support system audio and the audio from the discord call you are on, hence it chooses a single channel i.e the latter
Man really thanks for the tip, finally a solution to a problem who's been dragging on for weeks. You have my like and subscribe. Keep up the good work king.
@@SadisticHues Then you deserve it. No headphones = death. But in all seriousness for the most part same steps apply. Just mess with it til you get it working.
You are a LIFE SAVER. I got a new laptop, and suddenly my discord call audio would go super super low and fuzzy whenever I was watching youtube or any kind of media on Chrome. Been looking for a solution for days. This fixed that immediately (like my Discord is almost too loud even haha). Thank you!!
my issue is its not muting audio, it instantly makes other apps and the call quieter and the audio quality gets bad. idk whats wrong, its just with the discord app, not the browser. but its annoying because i prefer the app a lot. but if im listening to music and decide to call my friend, the music sounds and it makes me mad
It works! I am using bluetooth headphone but everytime i joined a vc on discord the sound quality suddenly drop. Now i am following your instruction and it fix the problem. Thanks man it still relevant in 2023
Thanks for the tutorial my man, worked like a charm. May have wanted to mention that you should have a microphone plugged in when you do this, but otherwise perfect.
Thank you a lot dude, I thought it was a hardware or any system problem or a glitch you helped me a lot by show it. I'm playing games with my friends in VC and I could only hear the VC voice and not the game voice. And which process you said everything is same with me Bluetooth etc.... Btw Thank you so much dude. Love from India.
So this only works if you have a dedicated microphone besides the mic on the bluetooth headset yes? People like me who have just the bluetooth headset/mic combo are still screwed. As I tried this and it did not work : (
Thank you so much! I just bought these new wireless earphones and whenever i joined a discord call other sounds just cut out. I have been trying to fix this issue for days and finally came across this video and now it is fixed! Thanks once again
If anyone have Bluetooth headset with mic you have to disable the Headset in the Playback and enable the Headset in Recording. You dont have to disable nothing in Recording. And well done! Solved my problem.
Yeah... I understand what you are getting at, however, I do not have an external microphone to record with which limits me to the handsfree AG sound for discord. But it is worth asking-does this problem affect TeamSpeak?
Bro. You, are, amazing! i was loocking for this setting all my life, it was so unfair to stay on a discord call, and to dont hear anything on the game. you are a life changer. Subscribed.
Thnx bro, that fixed my problem, omg i was about to get crazy. I changed all my drivers and installed again, then nothing, freaking 2 days to get to this video. U are a true hero.
The audioquality sounds really crapppy, but at least it is there now. Really big help when you can hear if you hit an opponent that is hiding in a bush.
BROOOOOO! you saved my damn life, for real! I even went to the point to buy on amazon this attachable mic for my sony's mx 1000xm4 and I tought that resolved the issues, but it wont, my pc was using its mic and not the one on my sony's, so, in resume, only after seeing this video im able to get to use my sony's mic (the one inside the headset) NOT the attachable one I bought) at the same time on my games AND discord, this is a HUGE win, THANKS FAM! FOR REAL
it also works without disabling your bluetooth headset's microphone . You just have to change the microphone option to any another microphone IN DISCORD CALL. It worked for me( i switched to my laptop's microphone for input and stereo bluetooth headphones as output)
Thank you so much! But I wonder that is there any solution for using the mic of headphones while using stereo mode? Or do we have to disable mic then have to use mic of another device?
WOW YOU SAVED MY TIME! I've been searching and finding the solution since 2018.... lol and now i even bought a new laptop and had a same problem, but until i found your video! GOD you saved my time! FINALLY!!
I have a problem that when I get into a call with a USB headset, after a few minutes or when opening a game, everything gets silent. Even the call gets silent, like all sound and recording suddenly gets disabled. When I disable and enable the driver of my headset again, it works for a short while but not for long. Very infuriating and annoying.
My problem is like the opposite. If i'm in a call and I start playing anything like a RU-vid video the call gets muted over the background sound and I can't hear the call.
Something worked properly for a couple hours, then when I went to join another call i got the same issue :( this time if I follow these instructions my mic wont work at all
It works! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have been having this issue for 3 years and I found this tutorial to fix the issue. You deserve a like for this!
This didn’t work for me? I can’t hear my music or minecraft audio when I’m on a call but as soon as I leave it’s back, I disabled the hands free one like you said but it’s still not playing any audio
Wait! that works because you disable the mic of the headset, and then you have another Mic plugged into the pc. So actually you are using the headset as a regular and cheaper headset. Anyone else cannot be able to talk during a Discord Call.
Im having an opposite problem. When I'm already in a discord call and press my mute all button from my computer, it mutes everything but discord. I can hear my friend talking and the stream they have open for me. Anyway to fix this issue? I restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled discord, i tried changing the input and output devices and yet none of that has worked out.
