So, try connecting and checking the audio input device by using a headphone or another speaker. Additionally, you can use an external microphone if you don’t have a headphone with an inbuilt microphone or a speaker. To do so:
- First of all, make sure to connect your alternative audio input/output device to your PC/Laptop.
- Now, open Discord desktop app > Go to Settings.
- Click on the Voice & Video option from the left pane.
- Next, select your connected alternative audio device as an INPUT DEVICE or OUTPUT DEVICE.
- Finally, you can try MIC TEST by clicking on the Let’s Check button.
Alternatively, you can try to unmute your profile from the Discord browser interface to resolve the issue. If the unmute option starts working, you can remove the alternative audio input device.
2. Use Incognito / Private Window
If the first method doesn’t work for you, try using the Incognito or Private Window mode on your web browser whether you’re using Chrome browser or Mozilla Firefox. This trick will basically use the cache-free or cookies-free browsing mode that doesn’t save the site-related data on the system. That means you’ll be able to use the site with all the latest changes.
