    Check your Windows sound settings

    In order to check your Windows sound settings, you'll need to go into your Control Panel. From there, you'll want to select 'Sound'. Once you're in the Sound window, you should see a list of all of the devices that are currently connected to your computer. To check your sound settings, you'll want to select the 'Recording' tab and then select 'Valorant - Game (RiotClientServices)'. If you can see that the green bars are bouncing up and down, then your sound settings are good - if not, then you'll need to make some adjustments. Adjust Your Volume Levels

    Check Discord’s audio settings

    In order to check your Discord audio settings, you'll need to go into your settings. You'll then want to select 'Audio'. Once you're in the Audio window, you should see a list of all of the devices that are currently connected to your computer. To check your Discord audio settings, you'll want to select the 'Input' tab and then select 'Discord'. If you can see that the green bars are bouncing up and down, then your sound settings are good - if not, then you'll need to make some adjustments.

    Check VALORANT voice chat settings

    To check your VALORANT voice chat settings, you'll need to go into your game settings. You'll then want to select 'Voice Chat'. Once you're in the Voice Chat window, you should see a list of all of the devices that are currently connected to your computer. To check your voice chat settings, you'll want to select the 'Push To Talk' tab and then make sure that the 'Enable' box is checked. If it's not, then you'll need to check it and click on 'OK'.

    Exclude Discord from Antivirus scanning

    1. Open the Antivirus application such as Kaspersky, Avast, McAfee, etc.
    2. Go to Virus & Threat Protection settings.
    3. Next click on Add exclusions.
    4. Now, Add discord and save the settings
    5. Now restart your PC.

    I still can't hear VALORANT comms on Discord

    One possible problem is that the voice chat doesn't run through the game application. Voice chat may run through a separate Riot games application (RiotClientServices) that runs concurrently and integrates with VALORANT (valorant.exe). Discord may only allow audio streaming through the VALORANT app.
