Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Mic wont work in R6 but will work everywhere else.
I have seen very many discussions and reddit posts that fix this problem for other people but for some reason these wont help me. My mic works everywhere else, is in english, and is activated in R6 and uplay etc. One strange thing however that I hope will help a little bit on my problem is that on my second rainbow six siege account "smurf account" my mic works in game. I was playing on the same computer on the same day. Infact I literally switched to my smurf account withen 5 minutes of being on my main account and for some reason my mic works on my other account. I've tried Audio Manager, changing my settings in seige to always speaking to disable to push to talk but still nothing works. I hope that someone can help me with my problem and if so thank you very much as I very much like this game and miss the ability to speak.

Are you stupid?

>Mic wont work in R6 but will work everywhere else.

>will work everywhere else.

Come on...

Work around that worked for me (some people are doing it oddly from postings i've read):

1. Unplug your Microphone

2. Enter the game, then go into the "Audio Settings"

3. Change the "Record Threshold" and the other thresholds (listening, talking, etc for microphones) down to 80. DON'T HIT ACCEPT!

4. Instead of hitting "Accept" or "Apply", simply hit the "Esc" key on your keyboard and the game will ask you if you want to apply these settings. Hit "Yes". Don't go into the audio settings again as sometimes it'll reset this process.

5. Exit game, replug Microphone (Make sure it's set as default!).

6. Once you've verified your microphone is working on your desktop/laptop, enter the game, and try the match.


=============================================

If you don't know how to set your default microphone/test:

1. On the bottom right of your desktop, right-click the "speakers" icon, and click "Recording Devices"

2. Make sure the Mic you're using is set as default (the "set default" is on the bottom of the new window).

3. To test it, click on the microphone, then click the "Properties" button.

4. Click on the "Listen" Tab, then check the "Listen to this Device" radio box, and hit "Apply". You should be able to hear yourself when you speak into the microphone.

5. After you've verified it works, uncheck "Listen to Device" then hit "OK".


==============================================

If the above doesn't work:

There's a recurring issue with a fully configured mic glitching out when starting the game or installing updates. it happens to me 2-3 times a month.

Go to settings => audio and change the push to talk / always open setting then apply. Switch it back then apply.
