It was just the other day, I opened up my Discord and I needed to call up one of my mates.

• Discord Disconnect Mp3

I have been using Discord for the last couple of months along w/ my guild in FFXIV. Just recently starting last week my sound starts to crackle and cut out over time. Everything works properly when I 1st connect but the longer I am connected the quality in audio becomes worse and gets to the point of it being completely distorted and choppy. During the usage of Discord app, you might notice that you aren’t hearing the notification sounds. This can lead to a lot of communication problem since a lot of people keep the discord app open in the background. With this issue, you won’t be able to hear the discord messages sound even if you have that sound enabled. Open the Notifications tab (in the left side bar), and scroll down to select/deselect ' PTT Activate ' and ' PTT Deactivate ' to adjust which noises you do or don't want to hear. Sound Hook/Sound Share; Setting Up! Before you start your call, you can check on your video settings by clicking on the cog icon in the bottom left hand corner to head into your User Settings page! You'll then find a handy 'Voice & Video' tab, where you can adjust your settings for voice and video chat. The @everyone role is the base role you use to control the settings for everyone in the server. You cannot rename this role, change its color, or set it to display on the sidebar.

Now I was using my Apple AirPods as the Bluetooth headphones and I was expecting that everything was to go smoothly.

Until… I tried connecting my AirPods and started to speak into it.

The AirPods were connected as I could see it being indicated on my PC. It was also fully charged so that wasn’t the issue also. The issue was that no matter what I did, Discord couldn’t pick up what I say into my microphone.

I tried a whole host of things: disconnecting-reconnecting it back, using other headphones, testing with other devices, etc.

So after a few tries and methods thankfully I finally managed to fix it. (If you’re wondering, it had to do something with the settings in Discord which did not automatically pick up)

In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how you can fix when your Discord microphone is not working too.

1. Allow Discord to Use Your Microphone.

Before you go on to making any changes to the settings in your Discord, it’s important to make sure that you have enabled microphone access in your Windows/macOS.

Discord Disconnect Sound Effect

Here’s how you do it:

If you’re on Windows 10

1. Jump into your Windows Settings and then select Privacy.
2. Next, choose Microphone under App permissions from the sidebar to your left-hand corner.
3. Over here, make sure to turn on the switch under Allow apps to access your microphone.

If you’re on macOS Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave

1. On your Mac, choose the Apple menu and then select System Preferences.
2. Next, click on Security & Privacy and then click Privacy.
3. Now, click Microphone.
4. Over here make sure that you have selected the checkbox next to the Discord app so that it allows Discord to access the microphone.

2. Reset Your Voice Settings in Discord.

Once you’ve made sure that your Windows or your Mac allows access to the microphone, you can go ahead test the methods below.

The very first thing you should do is to reset your voice settings right in your Discord.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Jump into your User Settings and then from the sidebar that is to your left, choose Voice & Video under App Settings.
2. Good. Now scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you should see a bright red button which says Reset Voice Settings. Click on Reset Voice Settings.

Note

If you’ve already set some settings of your own on this Voice & Video page, then those settings will be reset once you click the button. So take note!

3. You can then test your mic, by scrolling all the way up and then clicking the Let’s Check button under Mic Test to test your microphone to see if it works. You should be able to hear back what you say into your microphone.

If you find that your microphone still doesn’t work, then don’t worry! Keep reading as there are few more solutions that you can try. 🙂

3. Choose the Right Input and Output Devices.

Alright, so you found out that your microphone still doesn’t work even after trying both of the above methods. The one other solution take you can dois to just choose your microphone under Input Device at the very top of the page.

Make sure to choose the right Input Device and Output Device.

Here’s an example (in this case both my input device and my output device is set to my device that I will be speaking into and hearing from):

Note

Make sure that you’ve turned up the volume for both Input Volume and Output Volume. This is so that you can hear what you say into your microphone.

Once you’ve set your Input Device and Output Device and also made sure that they have enough volume, test it out by performing a Mic Test by pressing the Let’s Check button

4. Logging Out and Restarting Discord.

It really helps, if you’re issue persists, to log out and then restart Discord. Especially if your microphone was already working fine before with the same Internet and microphone.

Here’s how you log out from your Discord:

1. Jump into your User Settings and then scroll down the left-hand sidebar until you see a bright red Log Out button right at the bottom.

2. See it? Great. Click on Log Out, close Discord, restart Discord and then try logging back in using your credentials.

5. Check If ‘Automatic Input Sensitivity’ is Enabled.

Your microphone can stop functioning properly if the setting Automatic Input Sensitivity is disabled in your Discord’s settings.

When you disable this setting, it prevents your Discord app from “automatically” picking up sounds from your microphone.

Here’s how you turn on the Automatic Input Sensitivity setting in your Discord:

1. Jump into your User Settings and then from the left-hand sidebar choose Voice & Video under App Settings.
2. Next, scroll a little down the page and under Input Sensitivity you should see the setting Automatically detect input sensitivity. Turn on Automatically detect input sensitivity.

You can now test to see if your microphone works with Discord which will be indicated on the indicator (just below the setting) in a solid green flash when Discord is transmitting your voice.

6. Check for External Factors (Checklist).

If you still find that voice is not being picked up by Discord then it could be something to do with your microphone/headphones itself.

Here’s a comprehensive checklist for you to go through to check your headset/microphone:

• Make sure your USB or 3.5mm headphone jack is securely connected to your computer. Try unplugging and plugging back in. You can also try to plug in using different ports.
• Have the latest drivers and software downloaded for your device that you’re using as a microphone. A great way to look for these “drivers” or software is to google “drivers software for <insert the brand of your headphones>”. Also here’s an example of a drivers/software download page for Bose headphones.
• Check that your microphone hardware does not mute when connected with your device. Some headphones have a mute button on the side which can stop picking upyour voice input.
• Try any other headphones that you may have lying around to see if the problem doesn’t lie with your Discord. If you do not have any headphones lying around try to ask your friends or your family to borrow theirs.

7. Try Pushing to Talk.

For some of our readers, they have found that a workaround to getting the microphone to work is to change the Input mode from Voice Activity to Push to Talk in the Discord Settings.

The only downside to this method is that it requires you to press a button all the time when you want to talk to someone.

Here’s how you do turn it on:

1. Jump into your User Settings and then from the left-hand sidebar choose Voice & Video under App Settings.
2. Next, scroll a little down the page and under Input Mode you should see the two options of Voice Activity (which will already be pre-set) and Push to Talk.

3. Check the box next to Push to Talk. You’ll need to record a keybind meaning you’ll need to assign a key on your keyboard to act as an activator every time you want your microphone to pick up your voice.
4. So Record Keybind to assign a key and then click Stop Recording once you’ve assigned a key to have it take effect.

Done. You can try pressing the key that you selected to talk (use the microphone) the next time you’re Discording with someone.

8. Still Find Your Discord Mic Not Working? Reach Out to Discord.

Well, if you’ve gone through everything on this page and you’re certain that nothing works to fix when your Discord mic is not working, then try emailing Discord’s “talented” audio support team.

If all else fails, this should help you out as they can patch up any errors from their side.

Share this with your Discord mates if they’re too in such a similar situation. 🙂

This Guide will explain most of the tons of different features Discord has to offer. The content will be separated into different sections. You can navigate to the different sections by clicking on the links below or by scrolling down until you find what you want.

Why Discord?

Discord is an All-in-one voice and text chat program which allows us to communicate with each other by voice, by channel chats in the voice, by text in the public chat and by talking to people in private conversations. Most of our members who have tried different products for online teleconferencing agree that it’s the best product currently available. If you want to know about anything not covered here, you can check out Discord’s own sales pitch here: https://discordapp.com/features

1. Discord Web Client

You can use Discord from within your favourite web browser, without installing any special software. It looks pretty much the same as the dedicated app, and is meant to work the same way. However – ask anyone who has tried both options, and they will tell you to install the application (see below).

You’ll see this.

Enter your Email and Password. Click done to save. (An email and password that you will use to login)

Now just verify you Email and congrats you now have an account on Discord.

Now bookmark it! Save the address https://discordapp.com/channels/@me as a favourite. A lot of the time, that link will take you straight back into the Lochac server in future, without you having to login. It depends on how your PC is set up to handle cookies.

2: Discord Desktop Client

As said earlier, it is highly recommended that you use the Desktop Client. If you’re sticking to the Web Client, skip down to Getting to Know Discord.

Step 1: Downloading and installing the Desktop Client

If you’re currently logged into the web version, then go to the bottom left of your screen, where your name is located.

Click download apps, just below your name.

Choose the client you use. The one Discord thinks you will want will already be highlighted.

Install it and start it up.

Discord Disconnect Sound Effect Sound

If you aren’t already logged in to the web client, then just go to the web page at https://discordapp.com and click the button that says “Download Windows App” (if you visit this web page on a Mac or an iPhone or an Android phone, the button will change to show the app that you need).

Step 2: Logging in on the Discord Client

Enter the Email and Password that you used to claim your account.

You will automatically connect to Lochac’s Discord.

This is basically what you’ll see. Depending on who else is on line, or what conversations are going on, there may be more or fewer names and messages visible.

Getting To Know Discord

Over on left, you will see a list of the different text channels available to you. These are just like message threads on Facebook or in a mailing list. Click on the name of any channel to see the messages. You will probably see announcements and rules highlighted, because you will be sent there by default.

Below those (and you may need to scroll down, if there are a lot of text channels listed) you will see the different voice channels available to you.

Take a closer look at the bottom entry in the list of voice channels. You will see one called Away From Keyboard. This is the equivalent of putting your phone on hold – if you need to duck out of a conversation, click on that channel and the other people in the conversation will know that you are not ignoring them, you are (literally) away from your keyboard. If you leave Discord running without actually doing anything for a while, the system will automatically put you into the AFK channel.

Over to the right, you will see the names of all the members of the server, divided into people who are currently online and offline. Notice that some of the names might be in purple, indicating that those people are server administrators (and the gold crown shows the server owner – not Lochac King or Queen).

Mute,Deafen, Settings Buttons (in that order)

Down the bottom, next to your name, you will see three very important buttons – mute/unmute your microphone, enable/deafen your sound, and settings. If you’re having trouble hearing or being heard, it’s a good idea to check down here, to see if you have your microphone or headphones switched off.

Server name

Private Messages
In the extreme top left corner, you’ll see an icon that lets you send and receive private text messages with other server users.

Voice Server Buttons
If you connect to one of the voice channels (by clicking on the name of the channel) you will see an extra couple of controls appear at the bottom left:

Clicking the Connection info button will bring up a display showing what the connection quality is like. If you are on a call, and the sound seems rough, this is a useful way of checking whether the problem is with the server, or on your PC.

Clicking the Disconnect button will disconnect you from the voice channel, but leaves you in the Lochac server.

Mute Notifications, Pinned Messages, Show Users, Search, Mentions and Help
Up in the top right corner, you will see another set of icons. The first of these is Mute Notifications – this button doesn’t actually mute sound (that’s the mute button down by your name), but instead it “mutes” the display of text notifications.The next is Pinned messages – clicking this shows you any messages that the server manager has tagged.

The next icon will toggle whether or not the member list is visible on the right.

Then there is a Search field – click in it, and you will see a list of options for types of search you can run, such as looking for all posts by a particular member.

Clicking the @ symbol will show a list of all the times you have been mentioned by anyone else on the server.

And lastly, the ? (Help) icon links to a set of cheat sheets.

4: Account Settings

In order to access your Account settings, click the cog in the bottom left.

Settings Button

Discord Disconnect Mp3

There are a LOT of things you can configure in Discord, but you don’t need to worry about most of them, if all you want to do is participate in teleconferences and chat sessions. You should look closely at the options under Privacy and Safety, and make your own decisions about what is right for you.
Changing your display name (your nickname)

When you joined Discord, you will have nominated a nickname that is how you’re listed in screen. You

can change that at any time. From within the User Settings menu, select the top option, My Account. Then edit your username from there (you will have to provide your password again, before Discord will accept the change).

The ‘Voice and Video’ tab.

The settings button brings up a lot of options that you can change, but one of the most important is the voice tab:

You can set your input and output device to whatever you use, but in most cases it should work on default. The input mode is the thing you might want to change. By default, it will be set to Voice Activity, which simply means your microphone is live. If you are in a noisy environment, you might need to change this to Push to Talk. That means that the microphone will be on mute, unless you press a key on the keyboard (like holding down the “talk” button on a walkie-talkie).

To switch to Push to Talk mode, you select the big, obvious button in the middle of the settings tab, and then “record a keybinding” – which means you decide what key(s) you want to use as your talk button. Press Edit Keybind, and whatever key(s) you press after that is captured as the “talk” button. To stop recording, click the Stop Recording button with the left mouse button.

After you’ve done that, when you return to the main screen and join a voice channel, you can check to make sure it’s working correctly pretty easily. Look at the icon for your name in the voice channel on the left: when you press your chosen key, a green ring should appear around the icon. When you release the key, the ring will disappear. You will also hear a sound, if you have that enabled in your notifications – which is the next thing to look at.

The ‘Notifications’ tab

Discord lets you be very specific about what events you want to be alerted to. This tab lets you turn sound effects on and off for things like people joining or leaving a conversation, receiving a text message, and when you have pressed or released the push-to-talk button.

You can uncheck or leave checked any of the sounds you desire. If you’re using Push To Talk, ‘PTT Activate’, and ‘PTT Deactivate’ could become annoying for you, once you are confident of what you’re doing. At first, you will probably appreciate the extra feedback to let you know that you have pressed the right button (other people on the teleconference won’t hear it).

When the ‘Enable desktop notifications’ box is checked, it will ring your desktop every time a message is sent on the Discord server. That means that, if you have the app set up to open when you start your PC, and sit in the background, you will know whenever anyone is trying to reach you via Discord (a lot like Skype).

The ‘Appearance’ tab.

The Appearance tab offers several ways to change the look of Discord, some of which could make it much more (or less) readable for you. In the screenshot below, the default “dark” theme has been switched to “light”.

It is well worth playing around with these settings, to find what works best for you.

5: Server Settings

To open up your other Notifications section

But wait, there’s more! Apart from the settings that you configure for your user account, which will apply to all your Discord conversations, there is another set of notification settings that are just for the Lochac server. To find them, get out of the account settings screen that you are on by pressing the Escape key. Then, back on your home page, click on the Lochac server link at the top on the left:

You will see a drop-down list of things that you can set for this server, which will modify what you’ve already set in your general user preferences. But don’t click the bottom option – Leave Server – unless you actually want to leave for good. This isn’t a simple “logout” option, it removes the Lochac server from your Discord profile.

Server Notifications Settings

When you’re not actually logged onto the Lochac server, you can still get notifications to let you know when other people are posting. Or not. Decide here. If there are particular conversations you want to follow, you can single them out for special attention. In the screenshot below, I will only get notified about messages which mention/address me, except for the channel discussing the Silver Rondel – I will get notified about every post to that conversation.

6: Friends List

Discord has a lot in common with Facebook. In Facebook, you can go to the Lochac home page and engage in a discussion by adding comments, and replying to other people’s posts. And you can tag people as “friends”, which opens up other options for chatting with them. In Discord, you can talk to people through the Lochac server text and voice channels, but you can also tag people as friends.

Click the friends icon at the top left.

This is what you’ll see.

The screen is broken up into:

• Direct Messages = Those you have messaged
• Add friend = Adding a friend
• All Friends = All friends online and offline
• Online = Only those friends who are online
• Pending = Outgoing and incoming friend requests
• Blocked = Those you have blocked

To call someone, hover over their name, like this.

Calling A Friend

This is what calling a friend will look like.
The Call

Group Direct Messages

A Group Direct Message (Group DM) is really just like a Skype call. Whereas the Discord voice channels are permanently open conference calls, that any Lochac member can drop into, a group DM is a conference call you set up with a few friends, which starts when you call them, and ends when you hang up. It really is JUST like a Skype call.

To set up a group DM, you simply select a few friends and then call them….
