Automatic microphone input adjustment problem with discord

Support Sound

So, as the title says, I’m having some trouble that my microphone is auto adjusting it’s volume, I tried most of the soliutions, but most of them end before they even start, due to me not having zoom, steam.
All I could think of is that discord is doing something, but I tried looking into it, couldn’t find anything.
Anyone else having this issue ?

In which situation does the volume of the microphone adjust automatically ?

5

Anytime that I use discord, it just automaticlly adjusts it self, my friends said that my voice becomes more bassy, and unclear.

A quick search for discord in the forum may give you some more information:

Ahhh ok, thank you, will look into it.
Have a wonderful day

I‘m pretty sure I’m not telling you anything new here, but discord has a audio setting under microphone, responsible for auto adjustment, this setting can be disabled and manually moved to a desirable value.
