Some Discord users unable to mute or adjust Bots volume, issue acknowledged

Discord is quite a popular social media platform that helps connect individuals with similar passions and interests.

The platform also has many useful features, like the Discord Bots, that help it integrate with the outside world and provide users with a more engaging experience.

These are automated programs or scripts designed to perform various tasks and functions within Discord servers.

Bots can also serve as a virtual assistant and can help in enhancing the functionality and user experience of communities. However, lately, users have been experiencing some issues.

According to reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), multiple Discord users are facing an issue where they are unable to mute or adjust the volume of bots. They claim that the control panel to change the volume isn’t in the app settings.

However, the panel to control volume for users in a voice chat appears as usual. This is undeniably quite annoying for those unable to stop the bot from playing music in a voice chat.

Some are even confused whether the change has been made intentionally by the company or is a glitch. As per the claims, the issue affects only mobile app users and has been persistent for the past few weeks.

One of those affected says that it has become very difficult to hear other people’s voices since the bot plays audio at a very high level. They also mention that they are unable to modify the bot’s volume from its profile.

Another person claims to have pressed and held every part of the bot to be able to access the volume panel, but all in vain. And understandably, people have taken to web forums to complain about the same.

Haven’t been able to change ANY bot’s volume for the past few days? Is this intentional?

Those affected have tried tinkering with various settings and restarting, uninstalling, and reinstalling the app, but to no effect. They are now requesting the developers to address this concern as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Discord has officially acknowledged this issue and is currently working on fixing it. Although no official ETA for the bug fix has been provided.

We are hopeful that Discord will resolve this problem shortly.

Having said that, we will keep tabs on this issue and update the article to reflect noteworthy information.
