Are you tired of hearing your own voice on Discord? Do you want to enjoy chatting with your friends without annoying echoes? If you answered yes, then this blog post is for you! In this post, I will show you how to fix Discord echo in a few simple steps. Let’s get started!
What causes Discord echo?
Discord echo is usually caused by one of two things: your microphone picking up the sound from your speakers, or a feedback loop between your input and output devices. The first case happens when you use external speakers instead of headphones, and the sound from the speakers gets captured by your microphone and sent back to the chat. The second case happens when you have multiple audio devices connected to your computer, and Discord uses the wrong one for input or output.
How to fix Discord echo?
The easiest way to fix Discord echo is to use headphones instead of speakers. This will prevent your microphone from picking up the sound from your speakers, and also improve your audio quality and privacy. However, if you prefer to use speakers, or if using headphones doesn’t solve the problem, you can try these other solutions:
- Check your input and output devices in Discord settings. Go to User Settings > Voice & Video and make sure you have selected the correct devices for input and output. You can also test your microphone and speakers by clicking on Let’s Check.
- Lower your microphone sensitivity in Discord settings. Go to User Settings > Voice & Video and adjust the Input Sensitivity slider until the green bar only lights up when you speak. You can also enable Push to Talk or Voice Activity Detection to control when your microphone is active.
- Disable any sound enhancements or effects on your devices. Go to Control Panel > Sound and right-click on your input and output devices. Select Properties and go to the Enhancements tab. Uncheck any boxes that say Enable or Disable All Enhancements.
- Update your audio drivers. Go to Device Manager and expand the Sound, video and game controllers category. Right-click on your audio devices and select Update Driver Software. Follow the instructions to install the latest drivers for your devices.
That’s it! You should now be able to chat on Discord without any echo issues. I hope this blog post was helpful and informative. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks for reading!
