This is one of the most obvious reasons for the Rythm bot not working correctly on your server. And to resolve, all you need to do is right-click on the Rythm bot in the user list and check the user volume. If it is already soaring, next is to check your and fellow members’ device volume.

Make sure the Rythm bot is not muted by the server

Sometimes the admin of the bot mutes the member/s on the server. If this is the case, you will see a muted red microphone icon near the bot. If you are the server owner do it yourself and in case you are not the server owner or the moderator then ask the admin to uncheck the ‘Mute’ and ‘Server Mute’ options.

Check the audio settings on the Computer or Discord app

Maybe the audio settings of the Discord app or your computer are not appropriate. Check that you’ve selected the right audio output. Like while using your earphones, ensure that the speakers are not in use.

To verify the sound and audio settings of the computer, check the volume levels displayed on the taskbar of your computer.

Similarly, for the Discord app sound and audio settings, click on the gear icon, go to ‘Voice & Video’ under ‘App Settings’, and check the volume and the output device.

Verify whether the Rythm bot is online or offline

Sometimes due to maintenance or unexpected outages, the Rythm Bot server goes offline from time to time. All you need to do is to check the ‘outages’ channel on the Discord server. For this Type ‘!invite’ and select the ‘Official Discord’ option. Here you can check ‘#outages’ for updates and can find out if the Rythm Bot is currently having any outages.
