TF2-Voice chat problem

[Alejo548]

Hello. I will go directly to my problem. I have notice that my TF2 chat voice is not "working well". What I mean is that, while holding the v key, which is the one I have to speak, the icon that is supposed to appear in the right down corner of the screen doesn't. Also I think that I can't hear other people talking through the voice chat. This also happended with my Garry's Mod, but after restarting my PC I could hear normally the voice chat and talk (on GMOD). I have reinstalled the game and setup my microphone in STEAM-SETTINGS-VOICE, but without results. I hope that you can help me to solve my problem pls.

Make sure you bound v to talk in the command configs. Also make sure your voice voice volume incoming is enabled

Yes, in option menu (or adv option I don't remember)

Or, you can write to that magical box in the left corner of your monitor

Some reason I get the same problem also now adays and I have the right keys bind. But just reconnect your mic then join a round and it should be fixed.

Also make sure you have that your current mic is set to be the one being used at the moment in the steam settings. And in the Team fortress 2 game options that is under the voice tab.

I don't know then. Also (no blame here) there is a edit button.
Maybe it seems stupid, but if you use an headset, did you connected it properly?

It can also work for web cams to that have built in mics.

I was in a hurry earlyer writeing it but here is a redone way of doing it that is step by step



Step #1. While on Steam itself click on the far top left on the word that says steam it should be above the back space arrow that is to the left of the word that says store.

Step #2. Click the word settings. It should bring up a menu that has a list of different things. Such as Account, Friends, Family, Ingame and so on.

Step #3. Click on the menu that says voice.

Step #4. Click on detect audio devices.

Step #4 alt. Click Change device to do it yourself. I never had to do this one my self but I am not sure if with some mics or web cams if you need to.

Step #5. Click on where it says test microphone. then speak into the headset, microphone, or webcam.

Step #6. If all went right you should hear your voice repeat back at you.

Step #7. Move around the thing that says microphone volume that should change how loud or how soft your voice comes in to others. Change to what feels ok to you.

Step #8. Move around the thing that says receive volume to what feels ok to you. Receive volume you will not really hear until you are in game if I remember right since that affects how much you hear others who speak.

If you have any more questions let me know.

I tried that but it doesn't work for me
and I've also tried going into steam settings and detecting audio devices.

Personally I use the shift key for my mic but you do you. I messed my mic up and restarted my computer, unplugged all my mic attachments, restarted my computer, reattached my mic and attachments. And played. The game lagged a bit then worked.

this worked for me, maybe not for you...
