Question Extreme lag spikes on Discord only ?

[Stefano G.]

Ever since I changed internet provider discord has had cases of EXTREMELY bad lag spikes that fix themselves after a a few minutes. I have tried contacting discord directly but their advice wasn't useful. I have tried changing DNS server, I tried the "Enable High Packet Priority" in the settings both on and off, doesn't make a difference. I've tried changing voice channel regions and some are better but none have actually fixed the issue. I also use an ethernet cable and I'm absolutely sure that my connection is fine since everything that isn't discord runs perfectly. I really don't know what to do. I could contact my provider but I would prefer to save it as a last resort, since from what I've heart contacting them is really painful. What can i do?
Edit: I misspelled heard

Open a cmd windows and leave a constant ping command run to 8.8.8.8 in the background. When you see issues with discord check this window and see if you have packet loss or very large latency spikes. It tends to be packet loss that affects discord because it uses buffers. Not sure what you mean lag in discord unless there is some video streaming or something.

What software are you setting "high packet priority". That whole concept is flawed. You can not affect traffic outside of your machine no matter what you set. If you are somehow overloading the output buffers on your ethernet port you have a much larger issue than just discord. It would mean there is some issue between programs sending too much data on your machine. You really want to uninstall any form of QoS software. If this is some setting in discord then I dont't know what it is, again you can not affect traffic priority outside your machine.

Thank you for the help, and "Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority" is a setting inside of discord (in voice and video settings) and I was told by discord support to try the setting on and off and see if that could solve the issue, and it didn't.
And by lag i mean that the voice of other people in a voice channel becomes impossible to understand and screenshare get blurry and laggy. Basically while my ping spikes i cant see nor hear anything.
