Step 1: Configuring Discord Parameters
Let's start with the basic check of the settings of the discard itself, which must be implemented before the sounds of sounds. There is nothing difficult in this and often no changes are not even required, since everything is limited to checking the correctness of the default settings.
- Run the program and click on the icon in the form of a gear to open the User Settings window.
- In it, go to the "Voice and Video" section.
- Expand the output device list and select the speaker there that you use to listen to sounds in the operating system. The digret always selects the default device, but we will talk about it and edit it in the next step.
- Below is the slider with the name "Sound volume", the adjustment of which allows you to set the optimal volume that does not depend on the Windows itself. Do not do too quiet, because users listening to your system sounds will not be able to make them louder.
This is completed on this, and the need to return in this menu will appear only in the case when the system parameters of the playback devices are changed. Now you already know where the speaker is selected, so there should be no difficulties when editing.
Step 2: Check sound system parameters
OS functionality allows you to select one of the connected devices (speakers or microphone), which will be used to play sounds. Accordingly, all support is transmitted to the specified equipment and the program listens. If the default is not the same speaker, where the sounds are broadcast, the interlocutor in the discord will simply not be heard, so check the parameters in advance by following the following instructions.
- Open "Start" and go to the "Parameters" application by clicking on the gear icon.
- Click on the "System" tile.
- On the left panel you are interested in the "Sound" section.
- In the "Related Parameters" block, find the "Sound Control Panel" bar and click on it.
- The new window will open on the Playback tab, where you can immediately see the dynamic scale with the display of the playback volume if the music is now enabled or a video is launched. This will help determine which of the devices is used to capture.
- If the required is not marked with default, click on the PCM line and from the context menu, select the appropriate item assigning equipment as the main one.
You can call this menu to switch the playback device used if you do not want to hear the sounds of the operating system yourself, but you want to transfer them to other users in Discord by selecting the appropriate settings. More information about this is already in the mentioned article about the broadcast of music.
