Avoid Full-Screen SharingWhile the game or app you're sharing is in full-screen mode, no audio issue can occur. Discord's sound isn't correctly conveyed, due to the full-screen mode. This problem has an easy solution when you're screen sharing an app, or a game on Discord use the minimized window.

You can minimize the window as near to full-screen as feasible since you have the option to alter the size of it.

Use OperaDespite following the standards, if you are still facing the audio issue, you should try using a different browser, such as Opera. Since Discord supports Opera, this will undoubtedly share your audio. The Opera browser is constantly being updated, and many users have reported that it works and shares the sound of the application you're trying to stream.

Clear Roaming DataTo save user preferences and temporary operations data, Discord uses cache and roaming data in its operations. It is a very popular and important practice that is utilized several times in a single call. During a Discord Screen Share, a corrupted Discord cache/temporary files or incorrect account settings can result in no audio. Try removing cache files or uninstalling your Discord Roaming data to see if it fixes your issue.

1. Exit from the platform
2. Press the Windows logo key and type percent %app data% on your keyboard. Then after, press the Enter key
3. Delete the Discord file
4. Now restart your system and then relaunch the Discord to check the issue is solved.

Push to TalkDiscord can automatically recognize and send audio activity across the internet at any moment. However, the 'beta' function of screen sharing with audio might cause many troubles and complications.

Another alternative is to turn off the automated detection of audio activity and use push to talk instead. This approach requires you to actively press a key from your application's settings for audio to be captured and delivered, so be aware of this disadvantage. Once Discord has stabilized, you can still undo the operation.

I hope the above solutions will help you in resolving the audio problem in Discord.
