Now, go to the Roles tab from the left-side panel.

Why is my Voicemod soundboard not working on Discord?

If the Voicemod soundboard is not working on Discord, try relaunching Voicemod with administrator rights. You can also try running Voicemod in the compatibility mode. In case that doesn’t work, set the correct input and output devices in Voicemod. Some other solutions to fix the issue include reinstalling the Voicemod driver or the soundboard itself and temporarily disabling your firewall/antivirus.
