[Old Report] No Sound while screen sharing on discord.

I have this issue when i try to screen share on discord, my friends who are watching me have no audio. Ive tried both screen sharing the application and my whole screen and no audio comes out. When I launch legendary edition and it takes me to the screen where i can choose one of the 3 games my friends have sound, but once i choose one of the 3 games the sounds cut out and goes silent. Can someone plz help me with a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.

    @KageAyuza I have been playing around with sharing on discord, I did find that if you on the chrome version it has an issue picking up the audio from the game in general. However, if you use the Desktop version, once you select a game to go into, you will need to select that application in discord to have it stream video and audio successfully (since the launcher is different than the game). If you don't see ME1 once you launch it, you need to make sure it is not minimized and it will allow you to select it in discord. 

  • i am using the desktop version. and i am able to select ME1 but its just doesn't have sound. IDK what to do

    @KageAyuza Does ME2 and ME3 still have this issue as well? If so can you check for updates to your audio drivers?
  • Have you made sure Discord is showing you are playing Mass Effect?  I noticed Discord doesn't automatically show you're playing Mass Effect you need to add it.  Go to Settings > Activity Status.  You should then see something like Display current activity as a status message. Make sure this is turned on.  You will then need to click on 'Add It!' and select Mass Effect.  It should now show Mass Effect now playing.  

    Now when you're back on your main Discord screen, you now should have the option to stream mass effect instead of screen share.  This should enable sound to be heard.
