Hey @szrvs,

Looking through the DxDiag you attached I noticed an entry for Focusrite USB under your audio capture devices. Are you running your mic through a physical mixer?

It's just an amp/audio interface since it's a cardioid mic.

Having the same issue here. Though I found a workaround which works for me.
I do the following:
-launch the game
-alt-tab
-go to the windows sounds settings, recording tab
-go to my input interface, advanced tab
-change my sample rate, hit apply, change it back, hit OK
-restart discord.
It helps. But sometimes it does not if I have specified certain buffer sizes in my audio-interface driver.
My specs: win 10 pro 20H2, Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 2nd Gen w/ a cardioid mic.

I also have the same interface and I am having the same problem. Tho I play other games and I have no problem when I play those games and use discord.

With season 9 update it's not an issue anymore when I start the game. But, after some short time in the game it comes back. I also use FSE tweak (aka Fullscreen Optimizations) for win10.
