Launching Fortnite causing mic to stop working on Discord

Summary

I’ve been having this issue (so is my friend for the same exact thing so I know its not just me) since the Simpsons update came out where if I’m in a call on Discord and I launch Fortnite, it causes my mic to stop working all together on discord. It makes me force restart discord to come back. Its the only game it does it to and I figured it would’ve been fixed by now but its super annoying. Any to make it stop happening when I launch the game?
