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!

that's a bummer and actually a game breaking issue.
and no....downloading another app to (potentially) make it work is not a satisfying solution and should never be.
strange thing is that communicating with each other ingame works fine.
but all voice triggers do not work at all. so this is definitely a game and not client issue.

yeah I picked this up over Phasmo because it looked a lot more polished in almost every way. but this issue is a huge letdown.

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

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.

You're welcome!

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.

It's actually been an issue since October of last year if I recall correctly, we're soon coming up on the one year anniversary of the update they released that caused the mic issue. It's a fun game, shame they can't fix something like this after so long.

I fully understand not wanting to download software for a game to function normally, but if you happen to meet the requirements for NVIDIA broadcast, I assure you it will work and takes less than 5 minutes to get it working. Best of luck!

does the broadcast app have to run in background the whole time I'm playing the game or is it a one time set up, then close the app and start the game?

I'm just curious. might give it a try later.

It will have to run in the background unfortunately, but you can set it and forget it. Once you set it up and close out of it, it'll just sit at the bottom right of the taskbar just like the NVIDIA control panel, MSI afterburner, Steam, etc. If you use other programs to speak such as Discord, Microsoft Teams, etc. then you can select broadcast as your mic input for those too so you don't have to keep changing mic input. In the broadcast app settings, you can also set it to auto-launch whenever you turn your PC on so you don't have to worry about it. Set it all up once and you're good to go.

alright. so it runs in the background and sys tray.
not ideal but a temp workaround...as I tend to use as few background processes as possible...heck I don't even installed GeForce Experience Center as it's just a bloated piece of unneeded software for me
thanks a bunch for the replies and infos.
I will give it a try.

Yea no worries!

can confirm - it works

After further tests with nvidia broadcast running in the background, it unfortunately overrides and f**** up my audio and EQ settings of my headset, plays every audio not in true stereo (even with audio enhancements disabled in the nvidia app). Works temporarily while playing the game but I have to quit the app when listening to music, videos etc.

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

They dont work

My brother in CHRIST. This worked. And it only took 1 minute to download and setup. As much as I HATE that its the work around. This genuinely works, and NVIDIA Broadacast is a genuine programme for a reputable source. So at least we have that.

You can turn off Nvidia Broadcast specifically for your mic and leave it off for your headset speakers. Do that, and it should allow you to have all of your audio enhancements working the way they normally do. Just click the dropdown menu near the far right of the taskbar, and then when you find Nvidia Broadcast, right click it to open up a menu for it. Uncheck speaker and you should be good to go.

Hmm, maybe you're on a different version than what I have. Try clicking the "Show Nvidia Broadcast Option" or launch the program proper rather than going to that menu. There should be an option in there to limit what Nvidia Broadcast is applying itself to.
