Adding voice effects on Discord typically requires using external software that acts as a virtual microphone device, which you then select within Discord's settings. Discord does not have built-in voice effect capabilities.
Using External Software for Discord Voice Effects
To add voice effects to your chat on Discord, you'll need to utilize third-party voice changing applications. These programs process your audio input and create a virtual microphone device that Discord can use. A common example, as mentioned in the provided reference, is software like Voicemod.
The process involves installing and running the voice effect software, selecting your desired effect within that application, and then configuring Discord to receive its output.
Steps to Add Voice Effects Using Voicemod on Discord
Here are the steps to configure Discord to use voice effects from software like Voicemod, based on the reference:
- Install and set up your preferred voice effect software (e.g., Voicemod) on your computer.
- Open the voice effect software and select the voice effect you want to use.
- Launch Discord.
- Click the Settings icon (shaped like a gear) in the bottom-left corner of the Discord window.
- In the user settings menu that appears, navigate to Voice & Video in the left-hand sidebar.
- Under the Input Device setting, click the dropdown menu.
- Select the virtual audio device created by your voice effect software. According to the reference, this would typically be labeled something like Microphone (Voicemod Virtual Audio Device).
Once you have selected the virtual microphone device, the voice effect you chose in your external software will be applied to your voice audio within Discord calls, voice channels, and direct messages.
How to Remove Voice Effects
To stop using voice effects in Discord, you need to manage the effects through your external voice effect software. The reference indicates that you should go back to the application (like Voicemod) and select an option to disable effects, often referred to as selecting "clean" or a similar setting.
Alternatively, you can revert your Discord settings by following steps 3-6 above and selecting your original, physical microphone as the Input Device instead of the virtual one.
