Additionally, turning on “Streamer Mode” or having the wrong server notification settings can also silence these sounds. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Set Output Device
Sometimes, the issue might simply be related to your output device. If you aren’t hearing any or most of the sounds from Discord, the Discord settings might be set to a different output device. Changing the settings to use your intended output device will often solve this issue.
2. Turn off Streamer Mode
Streamer Mode in Discord is designed for streamers. It hides personal information and includes options like disabling sound and notifications. If Streamer Mode is enabled, you won’t hear notifications or sounds from Discord. Disabling Streamer Mode will fix this issue. Note: Streamer Mode can automatically enable itself if the app detects you’re running streaming software like OBS/XSplit, even if you haven’t manually turned it on. It’s advised to check this setting regardless. After disabling Streamer Mode, your Discord audio should work as intended.
3. Change Server Settings
Sometimes, Discord notification sounds may not work because audio goes to the wrong device. This often happens with multiple connected devices, like speakers or headsets. Ensure the correct device is selected so Discord sends audio to the right place, solving the missing sound issue. Note: Repeat these steps for each server where you want to change notification preferences.
4. Update Discord and Windows
Keeping your software up to date is crucial. Updating Discord and your operating system fixes bugs and issues that may cause notification problems. Updates often resolve missing notification sounds. Ensure both are updated to benefit from the latest improvements.
