Discord平台不仅适用于游戏玩家。这是一个围绕常规文本、语音和视频在线交流建立的社区。制作您自己的 Discord 服务器(make your own discord server)并与您的朋友聊天很容易,但Discord 错误(Discord errors)很少见,它们可能会阻止您使用该平台。
一个可能困扰Discord 用户(users)的不幸错误是流声音问题,当您在 Discord 上共享屏幕时,(sharing your screen on Discord)用户(users)无法听到音频(反之亦然)。如果Discord流没有声音,您需要按照以下步骤解决问题。
1.检查您的音频设置(1. Check Your Audio Settings)
在您考虑更激进的方法来解决此问题之前,您应该做的第一件事是检查您的音频设置。您需要将 PC 或Mac设置为使用正确的输出设备(例如,切换到耳机或外部扬声器),并确保音量足够高。
特别是对于Windows用户,这意味着检查Discord的音频级别是否足够高以听到音频。Windows允许您控制单个正在运行的应用程序的音量 - 如果音量设置得太低,您将无法听到流。
由于Discord还使用这些音量级别来确定其他人在您流式传输时可以听到的内容,因此将它们设置为适当的级别很重要。
在 Windows 上(On Windows)
- 要检查Windows上的音频设置,请右键单击任务栏通知区域中的音频图标。从菜单中,选择打开声音设置(Open Sound settings)选项。
- 在声音设置菜单中,从(Sound)选择输出设备(Choose your output device)下拉菜单中选择正确的输出设备(例如耳机或扬声器) 。选择后,将主音量(Master volume)滑块向右移动到足以听到音频的水平。
- 要检查打开的应用程序的各个音量级别,您需要打开音量混合器(确保首先打开Discord客户端)。右键单击任务栏上的音频图标,然后选择打开音量混合器(Open Volume Mixer)选项。
- 在音量混合器窗口中,向上移动(Volume Mixer)Discord应用程序的滑块以确保音量足够高。如果未列出,请确保选择并向上移动扬声器(Speakers)滑块。如果您使用的是Discord网络客户端,请确保将您选择的浏览器(例如Chrome)的滑块向上移动。如果您自己进行流式传输,请确保您正在共享屏幕的所有应用程序(例如游戏或网络浏览器)在音量混合器中设置了足够的音量。
在 Mac 上(On Mac)
- 要检查您的音频设置在Mac上是否正确配置,您需要打开系统偏好设置(System Preferences)菜单。为此,请选择Apple 菜单图标(Apple menu icon )>系统偏好设置(System Preferences)。
- 在系统偏好设置(System Preferences)菜单中,选择声音(Sound )>输出( Output)。从提供的列表中选择正确的声音输出设备(例如耳机或扬声器),然后将输出音量(Output volume )滑块向右移动以设置音量。如果启用了静音(Mute)复选框,请确保取消选中它。
2. 在窗口模式下使用应用程序(2. Use Applications in Windowed Mode)
如果您尝试在Discord(Discord)上播放全屏游戏,您可能会遇到问题。这是因为Discord(目前)在全屏应用程序打开时不支持流式传输。
这可能会阻止您(和您的观众)在您流式传输时听到或看到内容。如果(Where)可能,请确保仅使用处于窗口模式(最大化或更小)的应用程序。如果游戏自动进入全屏,您可能需要检查设置以更改默认显示模式。
3. 重置 Discord 音频设置(3. Reset Discord Audio Settings)
虽然更改 Discord 的音频设置有助于提高流或通话的质量,但如果更改错误的设置也可能导致冲突。解决此问题的最佳方法是将 Discord 的音频设置重置为默认配置。
如果您想更改您的音频配置,请先重置您的语音设置并从默认设置开始以限制潜在的冲突。
- 为此,请打开Discord桌面应用程序或网站并登录,然后选择左下角的“设置”图标。(Settings icon)
- 在“设置”(Settings)菜单中,选择“语音和视频(Voice & Video )”选项卡,然后选择底部的“重置语音设置”选项。(Reset Voice Settings)
- Discord将要求您确认。选择确定(Okay)按钮以重置您的设置。
4. 更改 Discord 音频设置(4. Change Discord Audio Settings)
如果将Discord的语音设置重置为默认配置后,您的(Discord)Discord流没有声音,您可能需要手动更改某些音频设置。您可以在Discord应用程序中或使用 Web 客户端执行此操作。
- 首先,打开Discord并选择左下角的设置图标。(Settings icon)
- 从左侧菜单中选择语音和视频。(Voice & Video)如果您使用的是桌面应用程序,请选择OpenH264 视频编解码器(OpenH264 Video Codec )滑块以切换到替代音频编解码器并禁用硬件加速。
- 您还可以禁用某些语音处理功能。如果某些音频设备(例如Discord 麦克风(Discord mic))未按预期工作,请选择高级语音活动(Advanced Voice Activity )和自动增益控制(Automatic Gain Control )功能旁边的滑块。
- 最后,Discord使用服务(Service)质量(Quality)( QoS )来确保Discord呼叫和流媒体优先于其他本地网络流量,但这可能会导致一些问题。要禁用此功能,请切换启用服务质量高数据包优先级(Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority )滑块以禁用它,将滑块变为灰色。
5. 重新安装 Discord 应用程序(或切换到 Discord Canary)(5. Reinstall the Discord App (or Switch to Discord Canary))
在某些极少数情况下,Discord客户端本身可能是问题所在。重新安装Discord应用程序(或切换到它,如果您使用的是 Web 客户端)可能是解决潜在流媒体问题的好方法,确保安装了最新更新。
但是,如果您遇到问题,您可能想尝试一下Discord Canary。这是Discord客户端的 alpha 测试版本,允许您在其他用户之前测试新功能并尝试新的错误修复。
虽然Discord Canary测试版本可能不稳定,但由于最新的错误修复,它可能会解决某些音频问题。您可以从Discord 网站(Discord website)下载最新的稳定版本或 Canary 版本。
6.检查您的音频驱动程序(6. Check Your Audio Drivers)
Windows 应自动安装音频驱动程序,但如果您使用的是新 PC 或刚刚安装新硬件,您可能需要自行安装它们以确保您的音频设备在Discord中正常工作。
- 要在Windows上执行此操作,请右键单击“开始(Start)”菜单并选择“设备管理器(Device Manager)”选项。
- 在设备管理器(Device Manager)窗口中,打开声音、视频和游戏控制器(Sound, video and game controllers)类别,然后右键单击您的音频设备并选择更新驱动程序(Update driver)选项。
- 在更新驱动程序(Update Drivers)菜单中,选择自动搜索驱动程序(Search automatically for drivers)选项。
- 如果您的 PC 上有更新的驱动程序可用,Windows将自动安装它。否则,请选择在 Windows Update 上搜索更新的驱动程序(Search for updated drivers on Windows Update )选项。
- Windows 更新(Windows Update)将在新窗口中启动。如果检测到任何更新,请选择下载并安装(Download and install)选项。允许该过程完成,然后重新启动您的 PC。
如果Windows找不到适合您设备的驱动程序,请在制造商网站上查找驱动程序。例如,如果您安装了新主板(installed a new motherboard),您可能需要安装新的音频芯片组驱动程序才能使 PC 的音频输出正常工作。
建立一个不和谐的社区(Building a Discord Community)
上述步骤应该有助于解决Discord流没有声音的问题,并有助于解决其他问题,例如流中的机器人语音(robotic voice)和RTC 连接问题(RTC connection issues)。启动并运行后,您可以通过添加新的Discord机器人来播放音乐(play music)或帮助进行审核(help with moderation)来开始建立您的社区。
当然,Discord并不是社区组织的唯一平台。您可以尝试许多Discord 替代方案,从(Discord alternatives)Slack到TeamSpeak。然而,游戏玩家可能仍然更喜欢Discord,因为游戏内覆盖等特定于(in-game overlays)游戏的功能使多人游戏更有趣。
Discord Stream Has No Sound? 6 Ways to Fix
The Discord platform isn’t just for gamers. It’s a сommunity built arоund regular text, voice, and video communication online. It’s easу enough to make your own discord server and chat with your friends, but while Discord errors are rare, they can stop you from using the platform.
One unfortunate error that can plague Discord users is a streaming sound issue, preventing users from hearing audio while you’re sharing your screen on Discord (and vice versa). If a Discord stream has no sound, you’ll need to troubleshoot the issue by following the steps below.
1. Check Your Audio Settings
Before you consider more drastic approaches to this issue, the first thing you should do is check your audio settings. You’ll need to set your PC or Mac to use the correct output device (for instance, switching to headphones or external speakers), as well as ensure that the volume levels are high enough.
For Windows users, in particular, this means checking that the audio level for Discord is high enough to hear the audio. Windows allows you to control volume for individual running apps—if the volume is set too low, you won’t be able to hear the stream.
As these volume levels are also used by Discord to determine what others can hear as you’re streaming, it’s important to set them to an appropriate level.
On Windows
- To check your audio settings on Windows, right-click the audio icon in the notifications area of the task bar. From the menu, select the Open Sound settings option.
- In the Sound settings menu, select the correct output device (for instance, headphones or speakers) from the Choose your output device drop-down menu. Once selected, move the Master volume slider to the right to a level high enough to hear the audio.
- To check the individual volume levels for open apps, you’ll need to open the sound volume mixer (making sure that the Discord client is open first). Right-click the audio icon on the taskbar, then select the Open Volume Mixer option.
- In the Volume Mixer window, move the slider for the Discord app upwards to ensure the volume level is high enough. If it isn’t listed, make sure to select and move the Speakers slider upwards instead. If you’re using the Discord web client, make sure to move the slider for your chosen browser (e.g. Chrome) upwards. If you’re streaming yourself, make sure that any applications you’re screen sharing (such as a game or web browser) have sufficient volume set in the volume mixer.
On Mac
- To check your audio settings are correctly configured on Mac, you’ll need to open the System Preferences menu. To do this, select the Apple menu icon > System Preferences.
- In the System Preferences menu, select Sound > Output. Select the correct device for sound output (e.g. headphones or speakers) from the list provided, then move the Output volume slider to the right to set the volume. If the Mute checkbox is enabled, make sure to uncheck this.
2. Use Applications in Windowed Mode
If you’re trying to stream a full-screen game on Discord, you may run into issues. This is because Discord (at present) doesn’t support streaming while full-screen applications are open.
This could prevent you (and your audience) from hearing or seeing content as you stream. Where possible, make sure to only use applications that are in windowed mode (either maximized or smaller). If the game enters full screen automatically, you may need to check the settings to change the default display mode.
3. Reset Discord Audio Settings
While changes to Discord’s audio settings can help to improve the quality of a stream or call, it can also cause conflicts if the wrong settings are changed. The best way to resolve this issue is to reset Discord’s audio settings to the default configuration.
If you want to change your audio configuration, reset your voice settings first and start with the defaults to limit potential conflicts.
- To do this, open the Discord desktop app or website and sign in, then select the Settings icon on the bottom left.
- In the Settings menu, select the Voice & Video tab, then select the Reset Voice Settings option at the bottom.
- Discord will ask you for confirmation. Select the Okay button to reset your settings.
4. Change Discord Audio Settings
If your Discord stream has no sound after resetting Discord’s voice settings to the default configuration, you may need to change some of the audio settings manually. You can do this in either the Discord app or using the web client.
- To start, open Discord and select the Settings icon on the bottom left.
- Select Voice & Video from the left-hand menu. If you’re using the desktop app, select the OpenH264 Video Codec slider to switch to an alternative audio codec and disable hardware acceleration.
- You can also disable some voice processing features. Select the slider next to the Advanced Voice Activity and Automatic Gain Control features if certain audio devices (such as your Discord mic) aren’t working as intended.
- Finally, Discord uses Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure Discord calls and streaming has priority over other local network traffic, but this can cause some issues. To disable this feature, toggle the Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority slider to disable it, turning the slider gray.
5. Reinstall the Discord App (or Switch to Discord Canary)
In certain rare circumstances, the Discord client itself could be the problem. Reinstalling the Discord app (or switching to it, if you’re using the web client) could be a good fix for potential streaming issues, ensuring the latest updates are installed.
If you’re having trouble, however, you may want to give Discord Canary a try. This is an alpha test build of the Discord client that allows you to test new features and try out new bug fixes ahead of other users.
While a Discord Canary test build can be unstable, it may resolve certain audio issues, thanks to the latest bug fixes. You can download either the latest stable release or Canary build from the Discord website.
6. Check Your Audio Drivers
Windows should install audio drivers automatically, but if you’re using a new PC or if you’re just installed new hardware, you may need to install them yourself to ensure that your audio devices work correctly in Discord.
- To do this on Windows, right-click the Start menu and select the Device Manager option.
- In the Device Manager window, open the Sound, video and game controllers category, then right-click your audio device and select the Update driver option.
- In the Update Drivers menu, select the Search automatically for drivers option.
- If a newer driver is available on your PC, Windows will automatically install it. Otherwise, select the Search for updated drivers on Windows Update option.
- Windows Update will launch in a new window. If any updates are detected, select the Download and install option. Allow the process to complete, then restart your PC.
If Windows can’t find suitable drivers for your device, look for drivers on the manufacturer website. For instance, if you’ve installed a new motherboard, you may need to install new audio chipset drivers for your PC’s audio output to work correctly.
Building a Discord Community
The steps above should help to solve a problem where a Discord stream has no sound, as well as help to fix other issues, such as a robotic voice on stream and RTC connection issues. Once you’re up and running, you can begin to build up your community by adding new Discord bots to play music or help with moderation.
Of course, Discord isn’t the only platform for communities to organize around. There are a number of Discord alternatives you can try, from Slack to TeamSpeak. Gamers may still prefer Discord, however, as gaming-specific features like the in-game overlays make multiplayer games more fun.
