What is the Rhythm bot?
The Discord rhythm bot or Rhythm Bot is a specially designed one that allows you to control music in the discord voice channel service. It can import and export music tracks and playlists in your discord channel. With the Rhythm bot, you can play music on your favorite discord channel without opening any other app. The Rhythm can play songs, delete or erase songs or playlists and even queue up songs for the future.
The Rhythm, the bit allows you to set up DJ roles and customize your audio listening experience. It comes with a special equalizer that you can use to customize your audio experience by adjusting the sound effects. It works through commands, and it will work as long as the commands are active.
The rhythm bot is a 16mserver that remains active inside the discord server for a long time and continues to stream music for as long as you’re active on the discord server. Since it automatically adds music to the queue, you will get a continuous audio streaming experience with it. Many gamers prefer to use Rhythm both to listen to music or even the in-play game music while playing their favorite game.
Due to its varied uses, the discord rhythm bot became one of the most favorite bots in the whole discord server. It is popular due to its wide range of services for audio streaming. But, many users have continued to report that the rhythm bot is not working properly.
While some reported that the bot stopped working completely, others reported a dysfunction that stopped working often.
Whatever the problem is, if the discord rhythm bot doesn’t work properly, you will not get the desired music streaming experience on discord.
So, how to fix these? Here is a detailed guide on troubleshooting the faulty rhythm bot for your discord server channel. Read on to know in detail.
How to fix if the Discord Rhythm Bot is not working?
1. Check Volume Level
The first thing you need to do is check the rhythm bot’s volume level. If the volume level is very low on your discord server, the bot will not work properly, and you may not hear the music even if it is playing in the background.
Even if your discord server volume is at the maximum level, the Rhythm may come with a zero volume level, resulting in no audio effects.
Here is how to check and increase the volume level on discord for the rhythm bot-
- First, right-click on the bot icon to open the settings. You will find this icon on your discord server screen’s upper right or right side.
- Next, wait till a settings panel on the left of the window appears. From this panel, navigate to below and find “User Volume.”
- If the volume is at zero or low, slide the toggle bar to keep it at maximum level.
- If the volume level is already at maximum level but the bot is not working, try the next method.
2. What if the Server is Muted
Have you checked the server status for the rhythm bot? The admin of the rhythm bot can mute any discord user if they want. If the bot is muted from the server, it will not work until it is unmated from the server end. If the bot is muted from the adman’s end, a red microphone will appear next to the rhythm bot.
If you are the admin of the discord server, you can’t unmute the bot by following these steps-
- Right-click on the rhythm bot
- From the available option, uncheck “Server Mute” if the box is checked out.
- In case you are not the admin of the discord channel, request the admin to unmute the rhythm bot to resume the bot service.
3. Check Permissions
Suppose the bot is not muted from the admin’s end, and the volume is also at a normal level. In that case, the reason behind the dysfunctional bot is probably the permission status.
In case you do not grant all the required permissions while activating or installing the rhythm bot, it will not work. But, that is only possible if you are using a channel as an admin. Here is how to check and grant the permissions for the rhythm bot on a discord channel-
- First, open Server Settings.
- From here, select Roles.
- In the next screen, grant all the permissions under the tab “Rhythm Role.”
4. The Rhythm bot is offline/ under maintenance/ leaves the discord channel
The Rhythm Bot is not a round-the-clock activated bot. It is only available round the clock for those who play the premium subscription.
So, from time to time, the Rhythm may go offline or even leave your discord channel. During those times, the bot will not stream audio for you.
It is active if the Rhythm bot logo has a green dot beside its name. If not, the bot is offline.
Alternatively, you can activate the server bot to stream music.
Sometimes the bot also undergoes maintenance. In such times, the bot outage is experienced by discord users and they don’t hear any audio.
In this case, you will have to “Invite” the bot on your discord channel again. Here is the method to invite the bot again-
- First, open the server page.
- Next, on the server, type “Invite.”
- From here, select “Official Discord” and join the displayed server
- Now, check “#outage” to know the bot status.
5. Bot Forgot the Playlist
You do not hear any of the audio tracks from the playlist? Well, probably the rhythm bot has forgotten the playlist and has reset the queue, disrupting the audio service.
If that happens, it is time to switch to a curated playlist. You can use a YouTube playlist or a Spotify playlist to stream music from Rhythm Bot. The bot will not forget any track and will continue to play music.
6. Check the Playlist
But here comes the catch! The Rhythm bot cannot play YouTube Mix playlist. Hence, if you are trying to play any YouTube mix with this bot, it will not work!
7. Check Audio Settings on Discord and your Computer.
Have you checked the audio settings for your computer and the discord server you are using? If either setting is not compatible with the bot, the bot will stop working completely.
Here is how you can check the volume of the discord channel you are using-
- First, click on the gear icon appearing beside your username to open the settings
- From here, open App Settings
- Now, navigate to “Voice & Video” to check the audio settings
- On the other hand, if the computer settings are also not in sync, the rhythm bot will stop functioning.
- To check the computer voice settings, follow these steps-
- First, click on the volume or speaker button appearing on your taskbar to open the sound settings.
- Check the output device in the new screen under the “output” section. If you are using headphones, selecting “headphones” is better. ‘If not, you can choose the output method as speakers. If you are using the headphone, but the output device is the computer speaker or vice versa, the rhythm bot will not work. Hence, always maintain the output device as per your usage.
- Next, check the volume button. You can adjust the volume output by sliding the toggle button.
In case you are using discord and Rhythm bot from a Mac device e the sound settings by following this method-
- First, click on “Apple Menu.”
- Next, select “System Preferences.”
- Now, from here, navigate to “Sound.”
- In the next window, select “Output” to open the output audio settings.
8. Check the Commands you are Using.
Suppose the audio settings are perfect and the other parameters are properly placed. In that case, you need to check the commands or prefixes you use with the rhythm bot. With incorrect prefixes or commands, the bot will not work.
For each command, you also need to use the proper prefix. Not all prefixes will work for each command.
Here are the commands that you need to use with this bot-
- For adding a channel- ‘!summon.’
- If you want to play a song – ‘!play.’
- To add music- ‘!lay<Song name or Song URL>’
- For stopping the audio service temporarily- ‘!stop’
- For stopping all music- ‘!stopall’
- For pausing a song- ‘!pause’
- To remove a song with another song from another person’s list – ‘!remove<#channel><song_id>’
- To add, remove or clear the preset playlist you are playing- ‘!playlist [add/remove/clear]
- To change volume- ‘!volume <1-100>’
- To display the status of the present music track- ‘!status’
9. Rejoin Channel
If nothing works, you may need to try a small hack. First, love the discord channel you are using. Now, rejoin the channel after a few minutes. It may offer you a fresh start without a dysfunctional rhythm bot.
