How To Unmute Yourself On Discord?

Are you trying to unmute yourself on Discord but can't, or are you muted on a Discord server and want to know how to unmute yourself?

Are you having trouble unmuting yourself on Discord? Well, you are not alone. Many are having difficulty unmuting themselves on Discord due to various reasons.

Luckily, in this article, you will learn several troubleshooting methods to unmute yourself on Discord.

Let's begin!

External Microphone Issue

Before anything else, try checking whether the reason why you are muted is because of an external microphone issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

1. Check whether your 3.5 mm or USB jack is securely connected to the appropriate ports. If not, then that is probably why you are having audio issues to begin with. If you have other audio ports, try using a different one to make sure it is not an issue with the port itself.
2. Check whether your device has the latest software and drivers downloaded. If it does not, the reason why you are on mute is probably because of incompatibility. Just update the things that need to be updated, and your problem with being unable to mute yourself on Discord will be solved.
3. Check whether there is a difference between Voice Activity and Push to talk.

If you have ruled out any external microphone issue, you should try to do the methods mentioned below.

Steps on How to Unmute Yourself on Chrome

One reason why you are having a hard time unmuting yourself on the Discord web browser is that you probably disallowed its mic access on Chrome. If that is your case, you will need to enable it using the Google Chrome settings to be unmuted. Here are the steps for that:

1. Click on the 3 dots ( ) found on the upper right-hand corner of Google Chrome's toolbar.
2. Select "Settings."
3. Click on the "Privacy and Security" menu then look for the "Site Settings" option.
4. Click on the "Site Settings" option then go to "Microphone."
5. In the block section, look for Discord. Once you find it, click on the trashcan icon to remove it from the blocked list.
6. Go back to the Discord app then unmute your mic.
7. A pop up will appear asking you to allow access. Click on "Allow" to confirm.

Steps on How to Unmute Yourself on Firefox

If you prefer using Firefox and you have disallowed microphone access, that is probably why you can’t unmute yourself easily. Here are the steps on how to fix that:

1. Click on the three lines found on the upper right corner of the browser.
2. In the drop-down menu, click on "Preference."
3. Go to “Privacy & Security”
4. Select "Microphone” then settings.
5. You will find a search field on the upper right corner. Type in "http://discord.com". Click on "Block" and replace it with "Allow."

The process is relatively easy and a lot similar to unmuting yourself using Google Chrome.
