on

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing a Voice Changer for Discord on your Chromebook. This tutorial is designed to complement our video guide, providing detailed step-by-step instructions and necessary commands.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, it's important to note that this tutorial is specifically for Chromebooks with an Intel or AMD CPU that support Linux Apps. Unfortunately, this method won't work on Chromebooks with an ARM64 architecture CPU.

Why Use a Voice Changer?

Voice changers can be fun and practical tools for Discord users. They allow you to alter your voice in real-time, which can be useful for:

  • Maintaining anonymity in online conversations
  • Adding an element of fun to gaming sessions
  • Voice acting or roleplaying in online communities
  • Protecting your identity in sensitive discussions

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow these steps carefully to install the Voice Changer on your Chromebook:

1. Enable Linux Apps

First, you need to enable Linux apps on your Chromebook if you haven't already. Go to your system settings, click on the "About Chrome OS" section, and under the developer section, choose to set up Linux.

2. Add Repository and Install Required Packages

Open a terminal from your app menu and run the following commands:

sudo echo deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main  | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/discord_chrome_os_made_simple.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-gi gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0 python3 python3-pip build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev

These commands add a necessary repository and install required packages for the voice changer to function properly.

3. Download and Install Lyrebird

Lyrebird is the voice changer we'll be using. Run these commands to download and install it:

wget https://github.com/lyrebird-voice-changer/lyrebird/releases/download/v1.2.0/lyrebird_1.2.0-1.deb
sudo dpkg -i lyrebird_1.2.0-1.deb
sudo apt -f install

4. Install Discord

Download the Discord .deb package from the official Discord website. Once downloaded, open the file manager, right-click on the package, and choose to install it with Linux apps.

5. Enable Audio Input for Linux Apps

For the voice changer to work, you need to enable audio input for Linux apps. Go to your Linux app settings and enable this option.

Using the Voice Changer

After installation, you can launch both Discord and Lyrebird from your app menu. Lyrebird will allow you to modify your voice in real-time while using Discord.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues:

  • Ensure your Chromebook's microphone is working correctly
  • Check that audio input is enabled for Linux apps
  • Restart both Discord and Lyrebird if the voice changer isn't working
