How to Fix your Microphone Not Working on Discord PC (Best Method)
To fix your microphone not working on Discord, you must first address three key areas: your Windows PC settings, your Discord app settings, and your hardware/drivers. The "best method" is a step-by-step approach that checks each of these areas in a logical order.
1. Check Your PC's Sound Settings
Before troubleshooting Discord, make sure Windows itself recognizes and is using your microphone.
Select Your Input Device: Right-click the speaker icon 🔊 in the bottom-right of your taskbar and choose Open Sound settings. Under the "Input" section, use the dropdown menu to select the microphone you want to use.
Test Your Microphone: Speak into your microphone and watch the "Input volume" bar. If the bar moves, Windows is receiving a signal. If it doesn't, the issue is with your mic or PC, not Discord.
Check Privacy Settings: Windows has privacy settings that can block apps from using your mic. Go to Settings Privacy Microphone and ensure both "Allow apps to access your microphone" and the toggle for Discord are turned on.
