Mic quality reduced and input sensitivity disabled, only while watching a stream.
My friends noticed my mic would reduce in quality whenever I would join one of their video streams, but not while only chatting. Not only that but input sensitivity would be disabled (despite being enabled in settings) so they could hear background noise.
When leaving the stream but not the chat, everything would work perfectly and sound great, and then break again if I rejoined the stream. While streaming myself there aren't any issues, and my friends aren't having any issues when they watch a stream.

I noticed this with a few friends some weeks ago when Discord launched the update that allowed all users in a channel to switch between streams (and also stream while watching another stream). I hadn't pinned it out, but everyone's voice becomes worse, some to a lesser degree, some up to uninteligible, robotic-sounding, volume drops to nothing or can't speak at the same time someone else speaks.
Now I noticed it happens only when there's someone streaming in that channel, and reverts when everyone stops streaming. Also, the ones who get affected the most are those who have more "filtering" options enabled: it's absolutely uninteligible if you have Noise Removal + Automatic Gain Control + Echo Cancelation, and you can't even get the mic to activate properly when speaking and stay off when not speaking if you add in Auto Sensitivity. With ONLY Noise Reduction activated, you already sound like you're speaking into a can, echo-y and distant.I'd have to guess that the entire room switches codec (although it remains as 'Opus (120)' in the debug pane), or at least bitrate, sample rate, frame size or number of channels according to if there's someone streaming, instead of only the stream itself carrying stereo/surround, high-bitrate, native sample rate with bigger frame sizes.
Edit: I think I know what's going on... When someone starts streaming, everyone opens a second voice stream, and when they talk, they come out twice - thus explaining the echo-y voice. Discord's noise filtering and echo cancellation then pick up one of your own voice streams as "interfering", and tries to eliminate it from the other - thus creating an infinite feedback loop with the echo reduction algorithm, and eliminating the user's own voice from its stream, which explains why the volume goes so low, or the user's voice starts fading in and out.

Hi,
When I am going to live stream with my friend by mice not working well and also my video not running continuously. My friends complain to me about this. First I think it's my end fault, it means a fault in my mice and camera. Then I contact with support https://vloggingguru.com/cheap-vlogging-camera-with-flip-screen/ where I buy my mice and camera. They told me that its not any problem with our product. They suggest that to contact with discord where you go to live. So I am here to discuss that.
First I am going to check it again and follow that procedure which you share here. If my problem does not solve I will contact you here. Thanks

Having this same problem and making it impossible to Stream Games to the boys. They say it sounds like my mic quality massively drops and It's like they "Put me in a box and I'm trying to talk through it" and it's just super annoying. Only happens when I watch a stream or start a stream myself, Otherwise, my voice and my other friend's voices are clear.

I have been battling this for months. Particularly annoying when it didn't happen if I was streaming, and only if I was watching a stream.
- Go into Settings > Voice & Video - Disable Noise Reduction.
Everyone in our discord server spewed a sigh of relief once that problem was fixed.

This issue is really anoying!

It sure is! I don‘t understand why it happens to some people having noise reduction enabled and to others not. Anyway contacted the discord support about this, this sort of ruins the experience quite a bit for me.

This is still happening where the voice quality goes down when viewing someone's stream.
Thank you Marazar for the above described workaround. I was able to successfully disable "Noise Reduction" to eliminate the problem.
It definitely seems like a bug since the behavior only exhibits itself when viewing a stream.

It seems Krisp (Noise Cancellation) is now also a feasible workaround, and works better for those with hissing or humming microphones - although the main problem still remains, and not only Krisp isn't available for those on Linux, but I also have some friends whose setup just makes Krisp simply cancel everything including their own voice when watching streams.

I have the same issue when streaming or watching a stream on Discord. I have other sound issues with Valorant (when forced to reboot) and the Logitech G Hub (complete garbage software) so fixing 1 issue would be great!
I'll try some of the suggestions here and see if they work. Appears to be mixed results. #FingersCrossed

Discord is somehow murdering my mic's volume system-wide whenever I see _any_ stream especially my own. I have to keep resetting my mic's volume by going into that specific mic's levels settings, turning it down then I can turn it back up if I want. Until I do that, the mic is so quiet as to be useless system-wide for all apps. Only discord causes this.
Mine is also a USB mic. All of mine are; and it happens to whichever mic I'm using with discord at the time.0 -
Go to Settings > Voice & Video > Turn off the “Automatically determine input sensitivity” option.
I've had this problem for quite a while now and that solved it for me.
