Mic issues

When me and my friends play im the only one that could use the in game mic and its pretty experience ruining

Hi Badossylow,

Are your friends' microphones properly set up in Steam's voice settings?

The issue might be coming from there because sometimes the microphone isn't recognized in the game. To fix this, you can open the Steam overlay by pressing [Shift + Tab]. Then, click on "Settings" -> "In-Game Voice" -> "Select a Device" and choose the correct microphone.

Keep me updated if your friends still have the issue after that 🙂

Hi, sorry to hear that 😥

Unfortunatly, we are completely relying on the audio settings of Steam, we can't include these options directly in the game settings because Steam doesn't allow changes to its input/output settings through the game.

Have you also checked that your microphone isn't being used by another app (like Discord) or that you haven't muted yourself when you're in-game?

If you've changed the voice settings outside of the game, don't hesitate to open Steam's settings again using the Steam overlay once you're in-game. Go to "In-Game Voice Settings" and double-check that the correct input is selected, as sometimes Steam assigns a different voice input for the "In-Game Voice Settings" even if you've set it before in the "Voice Settings" outside of the game.

I really hope this helps 🤞

If you are using voicemod and none of the solutions above helped, make sure the option "mic exclusive mode" in (Settings > Audio > Advanced audio options) is off, this may fix the problem.

Hello AbeAlaric,

Since we rely on Steam's audio settings, we can't include this option directly in the game settings. Steam doesn’t allow us to change its input/output settings through the game itself.

For most players, the following steps are usually enough to solve the issue:

• check your mic is not used in another app
  
• launch the game
  
• while ingame, use the Steam overlay (default key: SHIFT+TAB) and enter the "ingame voice settings" (not just the "voice settings")
  
• reselect your microphone even if it was already selected/displayed
  
• a Windows input settings window might open up, select your desired mic, right-click then set it to default and click on "ok"
  
• back on steam settings, make some test and apply

Sometimes, this doesn’t work on the first try, but restarting Steam completely and trying again has helped.

It has also been noted that some amplifiers may cause this issue. Are you using one by any chance?

I’m here if you need further help to resolve this!

I actually quite enjoyed the prologue you guys made it was fun, and actually scary for a prologue but the mic issue is just such a problem it prevents me from wanting to buy the full game, and I've done all the fixes you mentioned nothing worked and the crazy part about it was my friend was the one who was experiencing issues the other day who then got his mic to work, I tried his method, matter of fact its listed in your steps "reselect your microphone even if it was already selected/displayed" and my mic was working fine the first time we played we just experienced issues with my friends mic that he fixed himself this was all the other day played the game awesome gameplay but then I wake up today trying to play and the mics just not working and I tried everything I've given up.
