Overview

Jyv Desktop provides deep integration with Discord to enhance your voice chat experience. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or having casual conversations, our AI-powered audio management ensures crystal-clear communication.

Initial Setup

Getting started with Discord integration takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to configure Jyv Desktop for optimal Discord performance.

1. Enable Discord Integration

   Open Jyv Desktop and navigate to Settings → Integrations → Discord.

   Toggle "Enable Discord Integration" to ON.

   Jyv Desktop will automatically detect Discord when it's running. No manual app selection required.

2. Configure Discord Audio Settings

   In Discord, go to User Settings → Voice & Video.

   Set these recommended settings:

   • Input Device: Select "Jyv Desktop Virtual Microphone"
   • Output Device: Your preferred speakers/headphones
   • Noise Suppression: Set to OFF (Jyv handles this better)
   • Echo Cancellation: Set to OFF (Jyv handles this)
   • Automatic Gain Control: Set to OFF

   Disable Discord's built-in noise suppression to avoid double-processing your audio, which can make your voice sound muffled or robotic.

3. Test Your Audio

   Join a Discord voice channel or use Discord's "Let's Check" audio test.

   Speak normally and verify that:

   • Your voice is clear and natural-sounding
   • Background noise is effectively removed
   • There's no echo or feedback
   • Volume levels are appropriate

4. Create a Discord Profile

   In Jyv Desktop, create a new profile specifically for Discord:

   Discord Profile Example

   {
     "name": "Discord Voice Chat",
     "microphone": {
       "noiseSuppression": "high",
       "voiceEnhancement": true,
       "echoCancellation": true,
       "gain": 1.2
     },
     "appVolumes": {
       "discord.exe": 0.8,
       "chrome.exe": 0.3,
       "spotify.exe": 0.2
     },
     "automation": {
       "trigger": "discord_voice_active",
       "enabled": true
     }
   }

   This profile applies high noise suppression, enables voice enhancement, and automatically adjusts volume levels to prioritize Discord while reducing background apps.

Discord-Specific Profiles

Create specialized profiles for different Discord scenarios to optimize your audio experience.

Automation Rules

Set up automation rules to make Jyv Desktop automatically optimize your audio when you use Discord.

1. Voice Channel Detection

   Automatically activate your Discord profile when you join a voice channel:

   Voice Channel Trigger

   {
     "trigger": {
       "type": "discord_voice_active",
       "condition": "joined_channel"
     },
     "actions": {
       "activateProfile": "Discord Voice Chat",
       "setAppVolume": {
         "discord.exe": 0.8
       }
     }
   }

2. Streaming Detection

   Automatically switch to streaming profile when both Discord and OBS are running:

   Multi-App Trigger

   {
     "trigger": {
       "type": "apps_running",
       "apps": ["discord.exe", "obs64.exe"]
     },
     "actions": {
       "activateProfile": "Discord + OBS Streaming",
       "setMicrophoneMode": "broadcast"
     }
   }

3. Time-Based Automation

   Use different Discord profiles based on time of day:

   Time-Based Profile

   {
     "trigger": {
       "type": "schedule",
       "time": "09:00-17:00",
       "days": ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"]
     },
     "actions": {
       "activateProfile": "Discord Work Calls",
       "setNoiseSuppression": "maximum"
     }
   }

Key Features

Noise Suppression for Discord

Jyv Desktop's AI-powered noise suppression is specifically optimized for Discord voice chat scenarios.

Voice Activity Detection

Configure how Jyv Desktop detects when you're speaking to optimize noise suppression and prevent cutting off your voice.

{
  "voiceActivity": {
    "threshold": -35,        // dB level to trigger voice detection
    "attackTime": 50,        // ms to activate (lower = more responsive)
    "releaseTime": 150,      // ms to deactivate (higher = less cutting off)
    "smoothing": 0.3         // 0-1, higher = more stable detection
  }
}
