Fixing Discord Audio Issue on Mac OS X with Go Live Unable to Stream Game Sound and Talking at Same Time
Coronavirus pandemic makes all Americans to stay at home, and I feel appreciated and lucky enough not to lose my job now and to work remotely. Now, my coworkers and I recently tried to play the JackBox game, which is a series of mostly trivia games where one can share the screen while others can participate using own mobile device.
To play together, we decided to use Discord app as a solution to participate. The idea is that few people can purchase distinct JackBox Party Packs and create the multiple channels where any participant can hop in and join. I also decided to host, and my purchased game version was the Jack Party Pack 5. But when I gave it a trial run with others by doing Go Live, one problem became obvious: the game sound streaming through Discord sounded choppy on the other sides. We tried a number of tests to troubleshoot the issue such as changing to Push to Talk option on Voice & Video option under Preferences instead of the default Voice Activity, switching to a headset, and trying out different input/output devices. But none seems to work.
