Is your mic not working? This is why!

[OldmanFunkysak]

I've answered this on many posts yet I keep seeing it come up time and time again. The reason your mic isn't working is because the game starts to VR by default. You need to start the game from the LIBRARY and you will get a pop up menu. Select "non VR", then load the game.

Now you should be able to test your mic and find it working. As for the Watson voice commands, it is my understanding they stopped working with the introduction of the non VR patch. I imagine it will be fixed. It was just bad timing with the holidays. So be patiant and refrain from the urge to gripe and let the devs do their thing.

No, that doesn't fix it. No difference at all.

[OldmanFunkysak]

Then un-mute yourself.

Odd that people still are trying to do this when you can speak via discord or teamspeak. Why even try using the in-game mic.

In most cases this put's a heavy load at times on the servers you are playing on, and just doesn't work properly. Developers which have this option have not optimized it too work as well as Teamspeak or Discord since that is what they are designed for.

[OldmanFunkysak]

That is all great an fine if your playing with friends you know and not a pick up game.

[monokrome]

Nope. Didn't work.

I ran into an issue where the mic wasn't detected by Bridge Crew or even steam voice chat. Turns out I had to go into the windows microphone privacy settings and enable "Allow Apps to access your microphone". Then the mic worked fine.

I found the solution for my case: https://forums-de.ubi.com/showthread.php/190069-Mikrofon-wird-nicht-erkannt

Translation:

1. Start Bridge Crew
2. Start Test Microphone / MP Lobby
3. Deactivate Microphone in Windows Sound Settings
4. Stop Test Microphone / MP Lobby
5. Reactivate Microphone in Windows Sound Settings
(6. Start Test Microphone / MP Lobby again)
7. Microphone and multiplayer should work now

To anyone still looking, I got mine working bu disabling all mic devices in windows sound settings except the one I was using.

Apparently if you have too many enabled it wont work, idk what the magic number is but only having one fixed it for me.

Hello,

Tried all the above used different input's, USB mic's, Xbox controller mic output, even setup voice control for my PC, disabling/enableing, playing music into the output and nothing. is there any dev that could shed some light on this.

Thanks. This really works if Star Trek Bridge Command doesn't recognize your mic.
You have to exactly follow these instructions, it's important that you deactivate the mic while the test is running.

Nothing else did it, even deactivating all other mics.

I suggest using the "old" control panel sound settings, the Win 10 version kind of sucks.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for sharing your experiences of issues with your mics being detected in-game here in this thread.

To anyone still experiencing these issues, if the various workarounds provided did not resolve them for you, I'd recommend trying the following:

- Verifying the game's files in Steam

- Running the game, Steam and Uplay PC with admin rights[support.ubi.com]

- Disabling all unnecessary background applications to prevent software conflicts[support.ubi.com]

- Disabling all other sound input devices in device manager for testing purposes

Let me know the outcome of these steps and whether you're still running into issues with your mics afterward.

I did everything ubisoft recommended and none of that helped. What DID help was the advice of the person who posted above.

" it's important that you deactivate the mic while the test is running. Nothing else did it, even deactivating all other mics."

That worked perfectly.

Because the game forces you to do a mic check to go to multiplayer. No mic no game.

Nothing works, just remove that silly limitation, most people prefers to use discord to play
with friends... It works for me but If my friends can't solve it I am refunding the game too.

It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid, same ubisoft as ever. That's why I stopped buying any game published by them. This bug has been reported since 2017 in every headset and even without headset.
No solution whatsoever, bye bye for good ubisoft. Would never buy a game from you again.
