Answer
Check deafen and per-user volume, select the correct Output Device, verify channel permissions and Windows playback, then reset Discord voice settings only if needed.
Check mute, deafen, and user volume
Make sure you are not deafened, the channel is audible, and the affected person's individual volume is not set to zero.
Select the output device
Open User Settings > Voice & Video and choose the exact headphones or speakers under Output Device.
Check Windows and permissions
Confirm the device is enabled, connected, and selected in Windows and that the role can Connect to the voice channel.
Restart and reset last
Update audio drivers and Discord, restart both, then use Reset Voice and Video Settings only after noting custom input and output choices.
