Playing sounds over Discord, is it possible?
1 project | /r/DungeonMasters | 20 Jun 2023

For background sounds, ambient music, cave sounds and battle music I've been using Discord Audio Pipe with Virtual Audio Cable and VLC for the past 2 years. It has worked so well I haven't even looked into any options. https://github.com/QiCuiHub/discord-audio-pipe

What I do though is a bit more complicated. I use a Virtual Cable (VB-Audio) and Discord Audio Pipe. https://github.com/QiCuiHub/discord-audio-pipe

If you want to use sounds on your PC and prefer to use Discord, there is a software/bot called Discord Audio Pipe. There are a few Youtube videos explaining how to set it up as well, and it works well in my tests. I think it'll work better on a boosted Discord server, to improve the quality. I hope that helps!
