How to Hear VALORANT Comms on Discord Stream – (FIXED)

Discord was initially made for gamers to enjoy comms-in-game. Recently while streaming games like Valorant on Discord players are having trouble where viewers cannot hear the comms in-game but can hear the game audio. In this guide, I will brief step on step how to hear Valorant comms on the Discord stream.

If you are a Valorant player then you can improve tons of skills by communicating with teammates and viewers want to hear that conversation.

I am using Discord for the last 4 years and also playing Valorant for a long time. Yesterday in order to test this I started streaming Valorant on Discord with 3 live viewers.

They were able to hear game audio but not in-game comms.

It took me 2 hours to find the complete fix for this problem and that is what I am sharing here with you.

 

How to Hear Valorant Comms on Discord Stream

To hear your Valorant comms on the discord stream, make sure that all audio settings from your Windows PC, Discord, and Valorant are properly configured.

Open your discord and make sure the streamer mode is enabled.

Now open your Valorant game and discord will pop up to start streaming on Discord. 

If your input and output are properly connected and configured, viewers would be able to hear in-game  Valorant comms on the discord stream.

If you have done and still can’t hear Valorant comms on the Discord stream then apply the below fixes.

 

Unable to hear Valorant Comms on Discord Stream

There can be multiple reasons why viewers cannot hear Valorant voice chat on Discord. 

I am sharing the 5 best solutions to fix the problem of how to hear Valorant comms on the discord stream. 

You need to check and troubleshoot all of them one by one.

FIX 1 – Run Discord as an Administrator

Running discord as an administrator gives you the full privileges to perform the application correctly.

However, Windows 10 and 11 give discord enough permission without running as admin but still, sometimes possibilities are that it may not work properly.

You can consider this method as a basic one and simply restart your discord and then start Discord as an administrator.

 

Right-click on the Discord icon and choose Properties. From the properties box, click on Compatibility and check the box of Run as an Administrator.

FIX 2 – Check Windows Sound settings

When I was testing how to stream Valorant voice chat on discord, I found my viewers cant hear my in-game voice.

This possibly happens when you have multiple input and output devices like headphones and external mics.

On your Windows 10 or 11 PC and laptop, follow the below steps.

• Type sound settings in your Windows search box and from the suggestion choose Sound settings.
• Here on the top, you will find an option to Choose your output device. Click on the drop-down and choose the right output device.

  

   

   

• Scroll down a bit and you will find an option to Choose your input device. Click on the drop-down and choose the right input device as this will pick your in-game audio.
• Now from the settings search box, type sound mixer and then click on sound mixer options.

  

   

   

• Here in the app section, you will find Discord. Choose the right output and input device from the right-hand drop-down.

  

Once done check back by making a test stream to know if everything is working fine. 

If not then you also need to assure that your Discord and Valorant sound settings are correct.

 

FIX 3 – Check Discord Voice Settings

If you are streaming on discord with all your teammates on discord voice chat or if just your voice can’t be heard by the viewers then you must check discord voice settings. 

Assure that when you start streaming Valorant on Discord, the Valorant game is automatically picked by Discord where you get a notification of Go Live on Discord.

Once done follow the below steps.

• Launch the Discord app and click on the settings gear icon at the very left-hand bottom.
• From the left-hand menu, scroll down and click on Voice & Video.

  

   

   

• Choose the right output and input device.
• In the Voice & video settings, scroll down and disable Echo cancellation, Noise suppression, Advanced voice activity, and Automatic gain control. These options are only good when you are using discord voice chat.

Once done restart the discord stream and check again if the problem is fixed.

 

FIX 4 – Check Valorant Sound Settings

If Valorant voice settings have been accidentally changed then your Valorant in-game comms will not be audible in the stream.

• Open Valorant and click on the settings gear icon at the very right-hand top.
• Click on Settings and from the top menu, click on Audio.
• Now click on Voice chat and check if the output and input devices are selected for the right device.

  

Assure the volume and go with a loopback test to check if the audio level is audible enough or not.

Also, enable party voice chat and then set party voice activation mode to Automatic.

Once done start streaming on Discord and I am very sure that you would be able to hear Valorant comms on the discord stream.

FIX 5 – Update Audio drivers 

If you have applied all the above solutions and still having issues then probably outdated or corrupted audio drivers are creating the problem.

• Right-click on the Windows icon and from the list choose Device manager.
• From the device manager box, look for the Sound video and game controller and double-click on it to expand all audio drivers.

  

   

   

• Look for the right audio driver which can be Realtek, right-click on it and choose update driver.
• Go with search automatically for drivers and follow the steps.

If this doesn’t work or says the driver is already updated then you can manually download Realtek audio driver and install it. Watch the below video on how to install Realtek audio driver.
