Discord has no sound output since the last update

Hey, is anyone else having issues with Discord's webrtc stream being silent after the latest update? I've checked Flatpak, canary (AUR) and pacman packages, all are broken. A friend of mine was having this same issue not long ago with the canary build, hoping it didn't get pushed to the stable client.

Yes, I've started having this problem too. Notifications and interactions sound correct, but I don't receive voice chat audio even though others can hear me and I can hear everything else on my system.

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

I had the very same issue and the easiest way around it i found was to roll back to discord-0.0.89-1-x86_64 and everything seems to be working just fine again

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

Same here, it started this evening after restarting, one hour ago. Have been trying to see if I could fix it but looks like it's just a bug...
My issues are the same as the previous comment.

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

Would be my first time reporting a bug for something like this, honestly with all the sanity checks out of the way I was half-ready to just wait for another update. Where would I need to put it? Probably to the Arch package rather than Discord support or something?

Account registration is by email, apparently. Just sent one off, will report the bug once I hear back.

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

What worked for me was downloading downgrade from the AUR.

yay -S downgrade

and then downgrade discord to version 0.0.89

sudo downgrade discord

sudo downgrade discord

Thanks, I used 0.0.88, I didn't have 0.0.89 available, and that fixed the issue

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

Hi,

I'm facing a general problem (a weird one!) with pacman regarding this rollback. Pacman insists on istalling 0.0.90-1. This is despite:

- Removing discord packages (including 0.0.90) from my cache dir
- Issuing pacman -Syyu (not sure it should help, but I assumed it would "repair" the db?).

Still, for some reason pacman is installing and re-downloading 0.0.90. I know I can use "downgrade" from AUR, but what would be the proper fix?

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

I think you just need to switch your mirror to one that has the new version:

$ pacman -Si discord                 
Repository      : extra
Name            : discord
Version         : 1:0.0.89-1

The package has been downgraded with an epoch (the "1" in the beginning)

@Wild Penguin, you need to refresh your mirrors

Re: Discord has no sound output since the last update

Yes, I have my mirrors up-to-date. It could have been some mirror I've been using was not up-to-date, but even downgrade found this "newer" package 0.0.89-1. I needed to install it manually. Seems like pacman only looked at the version number for some reason?

EDIT: FWIW this is the package I needed to "downgrade" to with the AUR script:

❯ LANG=C pacman -Qi discord
Name            : discord
Version         : 1:0.0.89-1
Description     : All-in-one voice and text chat for gamers
Architecture    : x86_64
URL             : https://discord.com
Licenses        : custom
Groups          : None
Provides        : None
Depends On      : libnotify  libxss  nspr  nss  gtk3
Optional Deps   : libpulse: PulseAudio support [installed]
                  libappindicator-gtk3: Systray indicator support [installed]
                  xdg-utils: For opening URLs and files [installed]
Required By     : None
Optional For    : None
Conflicts With  : None
Replaces        : None
Installed Size  : 251.85 MiB
Packager        : Robin Candau <antiz@archlinux.org>
Build Date      : Tue Apr 15 09:38:09 2025
Install Date    : Tue Apr 15 17:59:12 2025
Install Reason  : Explicitly installed
Install Script  : No
Validated By    : Signature

(see the build date)

So it seems it was not a mirror issue, but for some reason pacman is misbehaving?
