Why Is My Discord Volume Resetting? The Issue

As reported many Discord users are facing Discord Volume resetting issue which is persisting for a long time. So far, the issue is not addressed by the developers.

Why Is My Discord Volume Resetting? Possible Reasons

We have methodically tried to figure out all the possible reasons behind the Discord Volume resetting issue. Here are some of them: 

1. Outdated Discord

Discord is frequently updated. However, if you are too lazy to update the app and use the old version, then facing Discord Volume resetting issues could be frequent. On the other hand, some reported that updating the Discord app increased the frequency of the issue. So, updating Discord could be a trap too! Watch out!

Any recent updates in your Operating System [OS] can also lead to the malfunctioning of the Discord volume settings. Hence, updating your OS or other alterations in OS can also affect the Discord volume setting. 

3. Third-Party Tools interference 

When you are on Discord, you must be running some other applications too. If Discord is incomparable with any of the third-party tools that you are using currently, you can face Discord Volume resetting issues.

4. Discord Cache

Like any other app, Discord asks users to download cookies for a better user experience. However, sometimes we found that with time if the cache is not removed then piled old cache may start any technical conflict with the Discord app, including volume resetting. 

5. Discord VAD Settings

Discord has a feature known as Voice Activity Detection or VAD. This feature helps to adjust the microphone’s sensitivity depending on the user’s voice activity. If there is something wrong in the VAD setting, that can lead to Discord Volume resetting issues too.
