Stream attenuation on Discord refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the volume of background audio (like voice chat or music) when someone starts speaking during a voice or video call. The purpose is to reduce the volume of other sounds temporarily so that the person speaking can be heard more clearly. Once the speaker stops, the background audio will return to its original volume.
This helps prevent overlapping sounds and ensures that voices remain intelligible in busy or noisy environments. Stream attenuation is particularly useful for streamers, content creators, or anyone in a call where there’s both conversation and other media (like music or game sounds) playing simultaneously.
