Had the same issue and just fixed it... right click the speakers icon in your task bar. Go to the Playback tab. Right click on your speakers/headset and have both the Default Device AND the Default Communication Device set for this.

Had mine only on Default Device which worked fine for everything including Siege up until today's latest update.

Read the patch notes next time:

"We have altered how we detect your microphone on Windows. We will now utilize your “Default Communications Device” as opposed to your “Default Device”. This will allow players to have easier control over their desired communication device.

If you are encountering issues with microphone detection in game, please check your Windows recording settings."

Check if you have an issue with W10 update 1803. Privacy settings - Microphone

That's not even the issue he was having. He was having issues with playback, not with his mic. Don't tell people to "read the patch notes next time" when you haven't even read the OP.

OP, I had the same issue and Gafontino's fix worked.

Good, glad I was able to help out then.
