Discord Plays Audio Even When My Headset is Muted

I'm having a really frustrating issue with Discord on my PC. Even when my headset is muted, the audio from my computer still plays out loud, including YouTube videos and music. I've tried watching a few YouTube tutorials to fix it, updated my drivers, and made sure that the speaker audio is turned off, but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what else to try!

No, I get what you mean! It can be super annoying when people can hear your background audio. Have you checked your system sound settings? Sometimes, the default audio device might be set wrong. Try changing it back to your headset in both Discord and Windows settings.

It sounds like the mute switch on your headset might be faulty. Sometimes it doesn't actually mute the audio feed to Discord even if it seems muted. You might want to try a different headset or double-check your audio settings in Discord to be sure theyโ€™re configured correctly. Also, check if there's a setting in Discord that lets you manage audio input.
