How to Fix Discord Can’t Unmute Browser
Here we’ve mentioned a couple of possible workarounds in order to resolve the particular issue that includes downloading the Discord desktop application twice on your computer, using the incognito/private window mode on your web browser, switching the audio input device, etc. So, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into it.
1. Switch Audio Input & Output Device
Keep in mind that this method will only work if you have an alternative audio input device to connect to your computer in order to check whether another audio device is working or not. In some cases, the chances are high that your currently connected audio input device doesn’t work for some unknown reason and you really can’t help it.

So, try connecting and checking the audio input device by using a headphone or another speaker. Additionally, you can use an external microphone if you don’t have a headphone with an inbuilt microphone or a speaker. To do so:
First of all, make sure to connect your alternative audio input/output device to your PC/Laptop.
Now, open Discord desktop app > Go to Settings.
Click on the Voice & Video option from the left pane.
Next, select your connected alternative audio device as an INPUT DEVICE or OUTPUT DEVICE.
Finally, you can try MIC TEST by clicking on the Let’s Check button.
Alternatively, you can try to unmute your profile from the Discord browser interface to resolve the issue. If the unmute option starts working, you can remove the alternative audio input device.
2. Use Incognito / Private Window
If the first method doesn’t work for you, try using the Incognito or Private Window mode on your web browser whether you’re using Chrome browser or Mozilla Firefox. This trick will basically use the cache-free or cookies-free browsing mode that doesn’t save the site-related data on the system. That means you’ll be able to use the site with all the latest changes.
