If you can’t listen to your own audio, pay attention to what other people are saying. Static may be caused by a bad connection. Make sure your microphone cable is fully plugged in.

If your cable is creating static as it moves, there may be broken wires inside. You can replace the cable or secure it with tape to prevent movement.<br/>Quiet audio may require you to increase the input volume.<br/>Voice cutting out or interference could be caused by changes in Discord&#39;s code, settings, latency, or even something else. We may not figure out what causes this sort of nonspecific audio problem, but we can help you fix it.<br/> <h2> How to Fix Discord Audio on your Computer </h2> Discord is similar across most platforms, so these troubleshooting steps will apply to computers running Windows 7 or higher, as well as macOS and Linux.<br/> Update Discord.

You&#39;ll find Krisp in the Advanced section of the Voice &amp; Video settings, mentioned in the previous steps. Turn off Echo Cancellation. This feature mutes your microphone when it detects an echo, so it may interfere with your voice.
