To hear streaming sound on Discord, the streamer must enable audio when starting the stream, and viewers may need to turn up the stream volume and check Discord’s voice settings. Discord’s support guidance and recent tutorials also point to checking app updates, permissions, and the stream/audio toggles if sound is missing.

On the streamer’s side

  • Join a voice channel.
  • Start screen share or Go Live.
  • In the stream setup, turn on the option for share sound or share system audio.
  • If you’re streaming an application, make sure that app is selected correctly before you go live.

On the viewer’s side

  • Open the stream and check the stream volume slider.
  • Make sure the stream isn’t muted inside Discord.
  • Raise your device volume too, since Discord can be fine while the phone or PC is set low.
  • If you’re on mobile, also check app update status and audio permissions.

If there is still no sound

  • Restart the stream and re-enable sound sharing.
  • Update Discord.
  • Check Voice & Video settings.
  • On desktop, try a different app window or a full screen share if one method fails.

Example setup

If you’re streaming a game, you would start a voice call, click Go Live, choose the game, and make sure share sound is turned on before confirming. Then your viewers should be able to hear the game audio through the stream.

TL;DR

The fix is usually simple: the streamer must enable audio sharing, and the viewer must unmute or raise the stream volume in Discord.
