So very often, maybe 3/4 times a week, me and my friends like to play games and voice chat on our own personal discord server. It’s usually us 3 guys and 1 girl. My friend, she burps quite often every time we voice call. I never really noticed it until lately but sometimes when she burps, it doesn’t come out so clear and it comes out kinda suppressed, so it’s very quiet when I know in person it’s kinda loud. Is there anything on her end that she should change so it doesn’t happen? I’m not 100% sure what settings she has on or off (I don’t think she’s ever even touched the settings) but I’m curious if there is a more optimal way to have the mic to where like half of the burps don’t sound muffled. Her mic is connected to her headset so it’s not that it’s a top of the line microphone, but it’s not a crappy one either. Thanks for the help
I BELIEVE there is a setting under the Audio tabs for compression and ignoring background noise. I’m no audio engineer, but I’ve done some amateur voice acting, and here’s my GUESS at what’s happening:
A) Her burp is being faded out as background noise.
B) it’s so loud that Discord is lowering it to avoid “peaking”
Under the “voice and video” tab on Discord, you could have her lower her input sensitivity, and turn off noise suppression, as well as turning off automatic gain control.
Please use ethically
That’s what I was thinking. I read into Krisp that discord uses and it seems like it does a pretty good job filtering out non voice noises, so that could be it.
But obviously I’m not putting past it that her burps are super loud because they absolutely can be. I think honestly that could make more sense because it seems like the not so loud ones do pick up but the supposedly loud ones are muffled. I’ll have to check it out next time I’m over at their place. Thank you
If you can you 100% want her to turn off krisp noise canceling and if willing turn off automatic input sensitivity and make more sound come through by having the slider show more green.
That’s what I plan on doing
With the input, obviously the more green the quieter you can have your voice and the mic still pick it up, and with the noise suppression whenever the mic peaks or claims it as “background noise” and not “voice noise” it’ll still come through.
After making this topic I realized there is a game we play every once in a while that has hot mics. You play as your character, and depending on how close/far away you are is how loud or soft your voice is. That game has no suppression or input sensitivity so it picks up literally anything and no loudness peak either. I’m essentially just trying to get discord to be like that game and what I’ve been told is exactly how to do it. So thank you
