Learn why Discord pauses your music and how to adjust settings like Attenuation and Audio Sensing to stop interruptions during playback.
0 views
Discord might be pausing your music due to its Audio Sensing feature detecting other sounds or because it's prioritizing a different app's audio through its Attenuation settings. To resolve this, go to 'User Settings,' then 'Voice & Video,' and adjust the Attenuation settings or disable Automatic Gain Control. Additionally, ensure Discord is permitted to run in the background on your device to prevent music pausing when the app is not in the active foreground.
