Guide 37: Discord Voice Chat Bitrate Tuning — Freeing Up Packet Headroom for Games

High-fidelity Discord voice channels broadcasting at 96 kbps or 128 kbps consume valuable UDP packet priority on congested connections. Dialing room audio back to 48 kbps or 64 kbps retains crystal-clear voice clarity while slashing packet overhead by 50%.
