Microphone not working in game. (SOLVED)

[SaturnGrl]

So this appears to be a common issue many others have had in the past. Its the issue where pressing "V" get the mic icon to appear, but it doesn't light up when I talk. And from what in game tests I've done, no one can hear me talk.

I've checked for solutions, but so far, there never seems to be one that really addresses this issue overall. I've followed alot of the "common" instructions to troubleshoot this issue.

I've checked all my sound/Mic settings in my control panel, verified my files for Rust, checked my in-game config in steam, and made sure all my audio and microphone drivers were up to date.

I have no issue with my mic with other games, Discord, or with internet calls. So is there something I am missing that needs to be done to get a working in game Mic?

I figured it out. On Windows, right click on the speakers, and go to Sounds.
In the Sound popup, go to the Recording Tab, and select your Mic, go into its Properties.
In the Microphone Properties, go to the Advanced Tab.
De-select Exclusive Mode check boxes.

My Mic works now in game
