Change the Discord Voice & Video Settings
If the audio is not going through, you will have to make a few changes to your Discord audio settings. Click the gear icon towards the bottom left to open your User Settings.

Some users fixed the problem by switching the device to the correct device and then back to Default.
Scroll down to your Screen Share settings
Scroll down to your Screen Share settings. The Use an experimental method to capture audio from applications option should be turned on by default. Toggle it off and on again.
Verify the Discord Server Status
Discord server issues could also cause the screen share audio problem. Click here to ensure the Discord servers are running properly. If this is not the case, you might want to use a VPN service to change your server region or the server region in your Discord server settings temporarily until the server problems are resolved.
Discord’s Audio Subsystem Option
If nothing has helped you out yet, navigate back to your Voice & Video settings, and under Audio Subsystem, select Legacy. This will fix the problem if your hardware is incompatible with Discord’s audio subsystem.
Update the Audio Input Device Driver
As a last resort, ensure your audio driver is up to date. Open up your Device Manager. Under Audio inputs and outputs, double-click the microphone and output device you are using, and in the Driver tab, click on update driver and Search automatically for drivers. This will take a few seconds to download and install the latest microphone driver.
Expand your Sound, video, and game controllers
