Mic not working :(

[Discount]

A while ago, i was tinkering with the Mic options of Discord and now my mic wont work in Gmod.
I've already ran tests and my headset works fine with everything else but not with Gmod.

Any advice would help. Thanks.

I've seen many similar issues, It's likely not because of discord, but it's an issue with the Source Engine voice chat provider (The ability to use voice chat in game) being low quality and outdated software compared to what is used with many other games.

Ah ok.

I still think this has something to do with Discord as the problem began to occur after i had changed some options.

Would you know if there's a way that this problem could be solved?

go to settings, then go to sound / audio (whichever its called, idk) and maybe something in there can fix it.

If that didn't work then try this:

Check inside your Steam settings that your mic is being detected. If not it could be a problem with your line in. Try going into your Steam Settings and into voice and detect devices. Make sure that your microphone is set to both your default device and also your default communications device. Otherwise it may not be detected by steam.

Ok thanks, ill have a look.

Also, I've checked in the Steam Settings but there is not 'Voice' option.
Any advice?

Yep, i had to disable my mic and then re-enable it when Gmod had loaded. Thanks :)

Have you tried running only Gmod and no unnecessary applications (like discord) at the same time?

Also, if your computer has an internal mic and you are trying to use the headset, turn the internal mic on while booting gmod. Then turn it off once booted. In TF2 at least, seems I have to do this sometimes to get my headset to register.

funny thing ive tried this and my mic still doesnt work it registers everywhere else even in steam but when i try to test mic in gmod to see if it works nothing happens no matter what i try
