R6 makes my mic go really loud

[HumanoidGorilla]

Whenever I try to talk in R6 it makes everyone else deaf. I tried to lower it in game but couldn't find how to lower the mic. I know its not my mic because when I use discord it works perfectly fine.

Apparently it's a new bug that makes everyones mic really loud, so its not just you.

Hello!

I have seen a few mentions of this on the forums today, but nothing conclusive as of yet. It also doesn't appear to be a known issue.

To anyone experiencing this issue -

- Have you witnessed any other players / friends having a very loud mic?
- What mic are you using?
- How long have you been experiencing this issue?
- Do you have any other VOIP or overlay software running?

Thank you!

Hi.

I have witnessed many randos have this issue and we would usually just think it was their mic that was not great.

I am using the microphone for the Hyper X Cloud II's, expensive and high quality.

I have been experiencing this issue for a month or so now.

I can have discord running and my mic is fine on there, but in-game it seems to be utter ♥♥♥♥♥. It doesn't matter if I have any other VOIP. My in-game communication is completely fine for anything that isn't siege so I don't know what the problem could be.

I have no doubts about you mic quality but can you check the record level setting on audio in R6S? Maybe it is set to 100 or something.

This is 100% an issue.

It seems to happen at random to random people.
It seems like it's the mic multiplier bugging out.
Giving the mic quality a loud and schratchy noise.

Hey guys,

As Wiesell advised it would be great to know what the record level is set to.

Would it be possible to share screenshots showing audio settings?

Many thanks

Hi I have a blue yeti microphone. The volume (physically) on the mic is around half in siege I have it set to 25 in the voice chat record level. I have included a screenshot.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

As mentioned above, we are investigating reports of player's Voice Chat Volumes being set to 100% after each restart, leading in many players to complain of being startled by other players suddenly being very loud

Do you know if anyone who has noted your loud volume has found this has also been the case for them?

Yes, other people have also been telling me their mic sounds loud as well. I haven't played siege in the past few months because of the issue, I'm afraid I'll get banned for earraping when I'm not on purpose. I'll try turning my voice record level down and see if that fixes the issue, until next restart I suppose.

Hey Matt4499,

Thank you for getting back to us and confirming that!

Please keep an eye on the forums as we'll post updates on the investigation here and see if these issues are resolved along with the reset volume issue
