虽然Discord是众所周知的游戏玩家和爱好者社区的基于文本的交流平台,但它也是使用语音或摄像头进行交流的好方法。这对于Discord(Discord)被最小化、未打开或不适合使用游戏内覆盖(the in-game overlay)的情况特别有用。
然而,这一切都取决于您的 PC 或Mac是否有工作麦克风。如果您的Discord麦克风无法正常工作,无论是机器人语音问题(robotic voice issues)还是根本没有检测到录制的输入,您都需要对问题进行故障排除。您可以通过以下几种方法修复Discord 麦克风(Discord mic)损坏的问题。
检查 Discord 权限(并以管理员身份运行)(Check Discord Permissions (and Run as Administrator))
包括 Windows 和 macOS 在内的所有主要操作系统都努力限制对某些硬件(如麦克风和网络摄像头)的访问,以帮助保护您的隐私(protect your privacy)。如果Discord没有必要的访问权限,您需要先允许它,然后才能使用麦克风。
- 在Windows上,确保访问您的麦克风的最佳方法是首先以管理员身份运行该应用程序。在开始(Start)菜单列表中搜索Discord桌面应用程序,然后右键单击并选择更多(More )>以管理员身份运行( Run as Administrator)以授予它必要的访问权限。
- 您可能还需要在Windows 设置中允许(Windows Settings)Discord访问您的麦克风。为此,请右键单击“开始(Start)”菜单并选择“设置”(Settings)选项。
- 在设置(Settings)菜单中,选择隐私( Privacy )>麦克风( Microphone)。确保已启用允许应用程序访问您的麦克风(Allow apps to access your microphone )和允许桌面应用程序访问您的麦克风(Allow desktop apps to access your microphone )滑块。如果不是,请选择两个滑块以将它们切换到所需的打开(On)位置。
- 要授予Mac用户访问您的麦克风的权限,请选择Apple 菜单(Apple menu )>系统偏好设置( System Preferences)。
- 在System Preferences菜单中,选择Security & Privacy > Microphone并确保Discord复选框已启用。您可能需要先选择单击锁定以进行更改(Click the lock to make changes)选项以解锁这些设置,使用您的密码或TouchID生物识别技术进行身份验证。
- 如果您使用网络浏览器(例如Chrome)访问基于 Web 的Discord客户端,当您第一次拨打电话时,系统会提示您授予访问权限。如果不是,请选择Chrome中地址栏旁边的锁定图标(lock icon)。从下拉菜单中,确保将麦克风(Microphone)选项设置为允许(Allow)。
切换到一键通模式(Switch to Push to Talk Mode)
默认情况下,Discord将记录所有麦克风输入并将其发送给语音通道中的用户。然而,一些用户报告说,切换到一键通模式可以解决麦克风输入不完整或损坏的问题。
- 为此,请打开Discord网站或桌面应用程序,然后选择您的用户名旁边的设置齿轮图标。(settings cog icon )
- 在设置(Settings)菜单中,从菜单中选择语音和视频(Voice & Video)选项。在输入模式下(Input Mode),选择一键通(Push to Talk)选项。在此下方,选择Record Keybind选项以选择要按下的键盘键以启用麦克风录音,然后按合适的键盘键。
启用一键通后,您需要选择并按住上面选择的键,以便用户听到您的声音。这应该有助于解决某些麦克风输出问题,尤其是当您的麦克风灵敏度(mic sensitivity)过高时。
检查麦克风输入音量(Check Microphone Input Volume)
如果您的Discord麦克风无法正常工作,请务必测试您的麦克风(test your microphone)以确保系统的麦克风输入设置正确。如果您的麦克风已静音、音量较低或设置为使用错误的输入设备,您的朋友可能在Discord(Discord)上的语音或视频聊天中听不到您的声音。
- 在Windows上,您可以通过右键单击任务栏上的声音图标(Sound icon)来检查您的输入设置。从菜单中,选择打开声音设置(Open sound settings )选项。
- 在声音(Sound )设置菜单中,确保使用下拉菜单将正确的麦克风设置为输入设备。(Input )要更改音量设置,请选择设备属性(Device properties)选项。
- 在“设备属性(Device Properties)”菜单中,确保将“音量”(Volume )滑块增加到100%或其他合适的高电平,以便其他人听到您的声音。
- 在 Mac 上,您可以使用“系统偏好设置”(System Preferences)菜单执行此操作。选择Apple 菜单(Apple menu )>系统偏好设置( System Preferences)以打开它。
- 在系统偏好设置(System Preferences )菜单中,选择声音(Sound )>输入( Input)。确保选择了正确的麦克风,然后将输入音量(Input volume )滑块增加到适当的高电平,以便其他人听到您的声音。
- 您还可以在Discord本身中更改输入音量。为此,请在Discord应用程序或网站中选择您的用户名旁边的设置齿轮图标。(settings cog icon)
- 在Discord 设置菜单中,(Discord Settings menu, )选择语音和视频(Voice & Video)。在“语音设置”(Voice Settings)下,确保从“输入设备(Input Device)”下拉菜单中选择了正确的麦克风设备,并增加“输入音量”(Input Volume )滑块以确保其音量足以让其他人听到。您可以通过选择下方的Let's Check按钮,使用 Discord 自己的麦克风测试工具进行测试。
在 Discord 上禁用网络服务质量设置(Disable Network Quality of Service Settings on Discord)
如果您的Discord麦克风工作正常,但存在连接不良或语音失真的问题,您可能需要在桌面应用程序中禁用Discord的服务(Service)质量(Quality)( QoS ) 设置。(QoS)Discord使用它来确保来自Discord的流量优先于您的网络,但已知它会给某些用户带来问题。
- 要禁用此功能,请打开Discord应用并选择左下角用户名旁边的设置 cog 图标。(settings cog icon)
- 在Discord Settings菜单中,选择Voice & Video,然后选择Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority滑块,将其切换到Off位置。禁用后,关闭并重新打开应用程序。
重置 Discord 语音设置(Reset Discord Voice Settings)
如果您更改了某些设置并导致Discord麦克风停止工作,您可能需要重置它们。您可以在应用程序或 Web 客户端中重置Discord的语音设置。(Discord)
- 为此,请打开Discord应用程序或 Web 客户端,然后选择左下角的设置齿轮图标。(settings cog icon)
- 在语音和视频(Voice & Video)下,选择重置语音设置(Reset Voice Settings)选项。
- Discord会要求您确认。选择确定(Okay)以执行此操作并重置您的设置。
重置您的语音设置会将其恢复为默认配置。此时您可能需要手动更改某些设置(例如您的输入设备和音量级别),以确保您的麦克风正常工作。
考虑新硬件(Consider New Hardware)
如果您的麦克风仍然无法在Discord中工作,则可能表明存在硬件问题。如果您发现您的麦克风(microphone isn’t working)在其他应用程序(包括操作系统的设置菜单)中根本不工作,则尤其如此。
切换到新硬件可能看起来很激烈,但如果您的麦克风坏了并且您无法在本地修复它,这可能是您解决问题的唯一方法。新麦克风还可以解决其他问题,例如过多的背景噪音(excess background noise)会使您的语音通话失真。
当您在Discord和其他平台上与朋友聊天时,一个好的直播麦克风(good live streaming microphone)会让一切变得不同,特别是如果您目前正在使用低质量的内置笔记本电脑或网络摄像头麦克风进行语音通信。
修复不和谐问题(Fixing Discord Issues)
上述步骤应该可以帮助您解决Discord麦克风的挥之不去的问题。如果它不起作用,您可能需要考虑重新安装Discord应用程序或在浏览器中切换到Discord 。当然,如果您的硬件有问题,可能是时候升级您的麦克风或换用新耳机(switch to a new headset)了。
即使您的Discord麦克风工作正常,您也可能需要解决其他问题。例如,如果Discord卡在连接屏幕上(stuck on the connecting screen),或者您看到RTC 连接错误(RTC connecting error),您可能需要查看与 Internet 或本地网络的连接(troubleshooting the connection)进行故障排除,尤其是在丢包(packet loss)导致问题的情况下。
Discord Mic Not Working? 6 Ways to Fix It
While Discord iѕ well known as a text-based communication platform for gаmers and hobbyist communities, it’s also a great way to communicatе using yoυr voice or camera. This is especіally useful for situаtions where Discord is minimized, iѕn’t open, or where using the in-game overlay isn’t appropriate.
This all rests, however, on whether your PC or Mac has a working microphone. If your Discord mic is not working, either from robotic voice issues or with no recorded input detected at all, you’ll need to troubleshoot the problem. Here are several ways you can fix a broken Discord mic issue.
Check Discord Permissions (and Run as Administrator)
All major operating systems, including Windows and macOS, make efforts to limit access to certain hardware like your microphone and webcam to help protect your privacy. If Discord doesn’t have the necessary access, you’ll need to allow it first before you can use your microphone.
- On Windows, the best way to ensure access to your mic is to first run the app as an administrator. Search for the Discord desktop app in your Start menu listings, then right-click and select More > Run as Administrator to grant it the necessary access.
- You may also need to allow Discord access to your microphone in Windows Settings. To do this, right-click the Start menu and select the Settings option.
- In the Settings menu, select Privacy > Microphone. Make sure that the Allow apps to access your microphone and Allow desktop apps to access your microphone sliders are enabled. If they aren’t, select both sliders to switch them to the required On position.
- To grant Mac users access to your microphone, select the Apple menu > System Preferences.
- In the System Preferences menu, select Security & Privacy > Microphone and make sure that the Discord checkbox is enabled. You may need to select the Click the lock to make changes option to unlock these settings first, using your password or TouchID biometrics to authenticate.
- If you’re using a web browser (such as Chrome) to access the Discord web-based client, you’ll be prompted to grant access when you first make a call. If you aren’t, select the lock icon next to the address bar in Chrome. From the drop-down menu, make sure that the Microphone option is set to Allow.
Switch to Push to Talk Mode
By default, Discord will record and send all mic input to users in a voice channel. Some users, however, have reported that switching to push to talk mode can resolve issues with patchy or broken mic input.
- To do this, open the Discord website or desktop app and select the settings cog icon next to your username.
- In the Settings menu, select the Voice & Video option from the menu. Under Input Mode, select the Push to Talk option. Underneath this, select the Record Keybind option to select a keyboard key to press to enable microphone recording, then press a suitable keyboard key.
With push to talk enabled, you’ll need to select and hold the key you selected above to allow users to hear you. This should help to resolve certain mic output issues, especially if your mic sensitivity is too high.
Check Microphone Input Volume
If your Discord mic is not working, it’s important to test your microphone to make sure that your system’s microphone input settings are correct. If your mic is muted, has a low volume, or is set to use the wrong input device, your friends might not hear you in a voice or video chat on Discord.
- On Windows, you can check your input settings by right-clicking the Sound icon on the taskbar. From the menu, select the Open sound settings option.
- In the Sound settings menu, make sure that the correct mic is set as the Input device using the drop-down menu. To change volume settings, select the Device properties option.
- In the Device Properties menu, make sure to increase the Volume slider to 100%, or to an otherwise suitably high level for others to hear you.
- On Mac, you can do this using the System Preferences menu. Select the Apple menu > System Preferences to open this.
- In the System Preferences menu, select Sound > Input. Make sure the correct microphone is selected, then increase the Input volume slider to a suitably high level for others to hear you.
- You can also change the input volume in Discord itself. To do this, select the settings cog icon next to your username in the Discord app or website.
- In the Discord Settings menu, select Voice & Video. Under Voice Settings, make sure the correct microphone device is selected from the Input Device drop-down menu, and increase the Input Volume slider to ensure it’s loud enough for others to hear. You can test this using Discord’s own mic testing facility by selecting the Let’s Check button underneath.
Disable Network Quality of Service Settings on Discord
If your Discord mic is working, but it has issues with a bad connection or voice distortions, you may need to disable Discord’s Quality of Service (QoS) settings in the desktop app. Discord uses this to ensure that traffic from Discord is prioritized over your network, but it has been known to cause issues for some users.
- To disable this, open the Discord app and select the settings cog icon, next to your username in the bottom left.
- In the Discord Settings menu, select Voice & Video, then select the Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority slider, switching it to the Off position. Once disabled, close and re-open the app.
Reset Discord Voice Settings
If you’ve changed certain settings and caused your Discord mic to stop working, you may need to reset them. You can reset Discord’s voice settings in the app or web client.
- To do this, open the Discord app or web client and select the settings cog icon in the bottom left corner.
- Under Voice & Video, select the Reset Voice Settings option.
- Discord will ask you to confirm. Select Okay to do this and reset your settings.
Resetting your voice settings will return them to the default configuration. You may need to manually change certain settings (such as your input device and volume levels) at this point to ensure your mic is working correctly.
Consider New Hardware
If your microphone still isn’t working in Discord, it may point to a hardware issue. This is especially true if you discover your microphone isn’t working at all in other apps, including in your operating system’s settings menu.
Switching to new hardware may seem drastic, but if your mic is broken and you can’t fix it locally, this may be your only way to fix the problem. A new microphone can also resolve other issues, such as excess background noise that can leave your voice calls distorted.
A good live streaming microphone makes all the difference when you’re chatting with your friends on Discord and other platforms, especially if you’re currently using a low-quality built-in laptop or webcam microphone for voice communication.
Fixing Discord Issues
The steps above should help you resolve lingering issues with your Discord mic. If it doesn’t work, you may need to think about reinstalling the Discord app or switching to Discord in your browser instead. Of course, if your hardware is the problem, it might be time to upgrade your mic or switch to a new headset instead.
Even if your Discord mic is working, you may need to resolve other issues. For instance, if Discord is stuck on the connecting screen, or if you’re seeing a RTC connecting error, you may need to look at troubleshooting the connection to your internet or local network, especially if packet loss is causing the problem.
