Discord Audio Is Bad Once Game is Launched

So recently when playing NFS Unbound I have had an issue where my game and discord will play nice for a little while and then all of a sudden its like I'm talking through a tin can with string on the end, my friend can't even make out two words I'm saying. I thought this was a discord or a PC issue however it is only happening when I am in an EA game. I tested Battlefront, NFS Heat, Unbound, and Madden within EA and every single time my audio sounds perfect when I am not in the game and then instantly goes to garbage once I am in an EA game. I also checked whether it was a PC issue by launching other games from other applications (steam and Uplay) and none of these games distorted the audio on discord. I really cannot figure out what the issue is and I have yet to find a single forum question or answer similar to this problem. Please Help!! Thanks.

  • @Lt_PabloMontoya No idea what it is, but my Discord lags horribly when Apex is launched. Its probably just the games taking up too much RAM.

    Every game I lunch has little to no effect on Discord's performance besides Apex. However, I don't know how to go about testing this.
  • @Lt_PabloMontoy tips :
    taskmanager details tab : set discord.exe to high priority
    also check the sample rate of your audio devices, sample rate conversions from 44.1 to 48khz can introduce crackling and distortions so keep them in sync.
    do you use Voicemeeter in between ? Very important with VM to keep the sampling rate in check.
    also it might help to deactivate the HW Accel in Discord under Advanced and turning off those artifical noise reduction helpers.
    But it sounds pretty much like a samplerate thing, can be set in the sound control panel for playback and recording.
