Share the application window rather than the whole display, confirm the app appears in Discord registered games, check the selected output device and volume, then restart Discord with current audio drivers.
1
Share the application window
In the voice channel, select Screen and choose the running application or game. Application sharing is more reliable for audio than an entire display.
2
Check the Discord preview
Confirm the correct window is selected and the stream preview moves. Stop and restart the stream after changing the shared application.
3
Check output and stream volume
Open User Settings > Voice & Video, select the intended output device, and ask viewers to raise the stream volume rather than only Discord output volume.
4
Avoid protected or unsupported audio
Streaming services and protected media may intentionally block capture. Test a local, permitted audio source before changing drivers.
5
Restart the audio path
Close the shared app and Discord completely, reconnect the headset or speakers, then reopen the app before starting the stream.
6
Update Discord and drivers
Install current Discord, operating-system, and vendor audio-driver updates, then test without virtual mixers or audio enhancers.
7
Escalate with a clean comparison
Send Discord Support the shared app, capture type, Discord and OS versions, output device, and whether the permitted local-audio test worked.
Video walkthrough
If it does not work
If one shared application is silent while a permitted local media app works, keep Discord settings unchanged and check that application’s capture or protected-content limitation.
If every application is silent, reselect the Discord output device, restart the shared app before the stream, and capture Voice & Video settings for Discord Support before resetting them.
