Found a fix for the mic issue

[Brurof]

As the title says, I think I found a solution that could work for many people. If you have an Nvidia GPU, download the Nvidia Broadcast app. Once you open the app, go to microphone and select your mic (I also add the noise removal effect to get rid of background noise).

Once you do those things, head into the game settings and change your mic input to "Nvidia broadcast." Then restart the game and see if that works. If it works, then keep it that way and just make sure to change your mic input setting to "Nvidia broadcast" across the board for Discord, Teams, etc.

So far this has worked for me and my friend. If you have an AMD GPU, then look for an AMD alternative to broadcast or some other tool that accomplishes the same thing. If this works for you or if you have any other solutions, please share below!

We have two workaround tutorials in the Discord to temporarily fix the issue.

This is a well-known workaround it's always suggested in the Discord server.

And no, not doing that crap.

This is actually a benefit.
Ghosts can't hear you during haunt so it's easier to hide.
Then you can cheese the game with Autohotkey macros and turbo find the ghost room with a candle, proc the Spiritbox, manifest the ESG and get Guls out of the closet with super efficiency.

Those haven't worked for me. I'll try Nvidia Broadcast for now.

Nvidia Broadcast did work for me, but it is a bit ridiculous that we have to download something like this for it to work.

I agree it's ridiculous, especially considering how long it's been since this has been an issue. Glad it worked for you though!

It is ridiculous and I agree!

No one should have to rely on a third party software to have voice coms and map interactions to work.

I've been pestering the devs to request both voice plugins (vosk + vivox) to be replaced because this is pure absurdity.

They really need to get their act together because they are losing players and potential customers over this. When the game worked it was amazing, but now I have friends who don't want to play because of this issue.

The game has a microphone problem for some, but the developers are already aware of it and are doing their best to resolve it. In the meantime, to talk to ghosts and interact on the map, you have to press "P" and write what you would like to say.
doubts, questions and if you want to know how to solve a problem in the game, it is good to enter the game's official discord where there are people who can help you or give you answers

And I appreciate you sharing the fix. It certainly made the game more enjoyable. Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I didn't see it.

Nah, the game company can just fix it. I am not downloading more programs to make something work.

Eff that.

[Der hippe Hugo]

wait...this has been an issue since MARCH already?
I just bought the game to play with a friend and we both encountered issues with ingame voice not being recorded. I mean the mic test in the options works but map interactions are not possible at all.
ghost box recording is also delayed by like 2 seconds.

so they are "aware" and haven't fixed it in like 6 months?
the demo works just fine. full game is broken.

might think about a refund if they didnt manage to fix it in such a long time.

Unfortunately, yeah. Demonologist is better than Phasmophobia, but they haven't fixed this important feature and one of the few workarounds that is reliable is downloading third party software. If this was an old game that was no longer compatible, it wouldn't be a huge deal, but this is ridiculous.

Oh, I just tried out the demo for Bureau of Contacts. I suggest trying the demo, as it has a lot of potential and is actually cheaper than both games right now. The ghosts can have a full on conversation with you, if they feel like it.
