2. Switch to the Voice & Video tab from the left pane and go to the Soundboard Volume option.

3. Finally, drag the slider and set the Volume to 0%.

2. Remove unwanted sounds from the Soundboard

1. Open Discord and go to your Discord Server settings.

2. Open Soundboard and remove the unwanted sounds by clicking on the cross (x) associated with them.

2. Click on the Roles tab from the left pane and select the role for which you want to pose Soundboard restrictions.
