discord taking priority audio

hi, every time i play valorant while also being in a discord call(doesn’t matter app, website, etc)- the discord call takes priority and ruins my valorant audio(makes it distorted and also turns it into mono audio so i can’t distinguish left and right), is there any fix for this? thank you in advance

How do you know this is a discord issue? Also what headphones are you using? When you enter a discord call does all of your audio quality lower?

Not sure if it’s a discord itself issue, headphones are skullcandy plyr, and it’ll lower every audio(from games to youtube videos)

Is there two sets of the same thing So like for my example there's two sets of air pods but one is headphones and one is a headset
michael
michaelOP11mo ago

And the one you're looking at is the headphones you're using?
Saucywan

And looking at the one that has the graph moving? correct?

Saucywan
Saucywan11mo ago
Hm Have you downloaded the necessary software for the headphones?
michael
michaelOP11mo ago
i have this set up center for it i’m pretty sure i can configure stuff on there
Saucywan
Saucywan11mo ago
Did this start happening after you install the software?
michael
michaelOP11mo ago
i think it’d been happening beforehand but i’ll uninstall the software to see if that does anything for it it’s still messing with the audio
