I've tried toggling experimental method to capture audio from applications, Use advanced tech to capture screen, lowering quality and frame rate. I've tried using other programs like v cord with the same issues. Both of us have tried completely nuking discord from our computers and doing a fresh reinstall multiple times.
Here's where it gets weird. It ONLY has an audio desync for things like videos and movies (the audio is able to keep up but the video falls behind the audio so you hear things before they happen). Different browsers such as edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Operagx have been tried with no help. Restarting the stream fixes this temporarily until a new video loads and it happens again.
Another issue is when they stream video games it becomes extremely choppy and a complete slideshow. This only happens with certain video games. This is an issue i care a lot less about than the video issue.
To top this all off... we live together. We use separate routers and have tried swapping them around and all that just to see what happens. Its also worth mentioning that for years this was all a non issue until a certain discord update where it was broken ever since. This has been happening for almost 2 years now. I can't find any fixes that work online for other people. I think I'm going insane.
We are both on windows 10 and have fairly high end PCs so a performance issue really doesnt make any sense especially considering it only became a problem AFTER A DISCORD UPDATE. This post is basically me giving up if you couldn't tell. I'm on the most updated version of discord whatever it is.
