To stop Discord from muting games, first ensure that Discord is running with the appropriate permissions to access your audio. Then, visit the 'User Settings' > 'Voice & Video'. Here, disable the 'Automatically determine input sensitivity' setting and manually set the sensitivity threshold. Additionally, check the 'Advanced' settings to ensure 'Attenuation' options are disabled or adjusted as needed. Prioritizing Discord in your system's sound settings can also prevent it from lowering game volume. Lastly, ensure both Discord and the game are running with similar administrator privileges.
