Was this removed? It was the only option that actually worked properly so I'd prefer to see it upgraded to the default actually.
With the standard audio subsystem it sends sounds (like someone joining a vc) over the default audio device instead of the configured device and it had constant reliability issues; the experimental setting fixed this.

Same here. No chance to get interface + mic working without switching the audio subsystem.
Experimental audio subsystem was removed. We added it more than one and a half year ago (we were trying to use audio device module from Chromium) and when rolled out, we received a lots of complaint. Since then, it was never maintained and so we removed it.
If you experience issue with your audio setup, please contact support or I am happy to work with you, just dm me.
we received a lots of complaint.
What? It worked better than the standard option. Perhaps the people complaining could simply be instructed to not use it?
please bring this back. There's no reason to remove something if it doesnt affect other functions
Was the only way for me to make my mic work with an audio interface.. how is the removal of an optional setting beneficial?
This was the only option that worked for my setup. Thanks...
Funny how you guys say please contact support when the support can't do anything to solve this, they can't just add that option do they?
Why it's available on windows and not macos?
You say it like nobody contacted your support with this issue before and you have a way to solving it, then why don't you guys write some kind of a tutorial to help users huh?
You don't know how to solve it and contacting support or dming you will not help.

same here, now cant use my interface for voice chat.... this is a major issue on mac tbh
Experimental audio Subsystem was the only way I could get my mic to work on Discord! I use a mic plugged into a universal audio Apollo (audio interface), and before I found the experimental audio subsystem, the only thing people could hear from my mic was about a half second blip of sound every 2 seconds or so. In fact this problem was never fixed for me on windows, but at least on Mac I got it to work with the experimental.... I’m so disappointed that it’s suddenly gone!! Please Discord Bring it back!
Same for me here. But instead of an UAD I'm using a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6.
Yeah I use external audio interfaces too (both an astro mixamp and an edirol professional interface for my mic) and the standard audio system just sucks with that.
Same here. My mic goes through an RME Fireface UFX+. Experimental audio was the only solution and worked great. Now, and previously with the standard audio subsystem, I could hear but not transmit audio.
Such a disappointment and downgrade. It used to work fine!! Please fix!
thank you
