Microphone is not working.

[TomOfFinland]

Anyone else having problems with it?
I've tried setting the audio device, I've fiddled with push to talk and open mic, I've checked my pc settings.
It works with other games except this one.

The fix is that the game is looking for your communication device, not your mic. Hit your winkey, then search for "change system sounds" this opens up the older windows sound window. Select recording tab. Make sure your headset is set as default mic AND default communication device.

This did not help me and many others, there is no fix as of now that iam aware of. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

Troubleshoot the issue then. The game will use whatever your default comm device is. So what dictates that is what you need to figure out. In your case obviously Windows isn't setting your communication device. You most likely have a 3rd party program doing it. Sound driver control panel etc. Sound Blaster takes over audio peripherals usually, so if you have any kind of sound card or on-board sound drivers loaded that have their own application then check that. Otherwise you'll just have to wait until they add a device selection in the audio settings. But I can assure you, unless you're using some USB headset that the game just doesn't like for some reason, the answer is in your PC settings.

I really did all of what you suggested and even did a fresh windows install to verify that no such program are installed on my computer, it's really frustrating to not be able to play the game you just bought

Okay not to be "that guy" but I call shenanigans on that. It's very, VERY doubtful that you went and did a fresh Windows install over this issue, and it's not a game-breaking bug to not be able to use your in-game PTT. Frustrating that a feature doesn't work, sure, but it's obviously something you're missing if that's the case.

What comms device are you using? What system are you using? etc give some info

[Holmern]

Same issue for me. Tried everything. Works EVERYWHERE except HD2. Extremely frustrating for a co-op game.

[Ficjusz]

I have only 1 device and its obviously set as default. Still the game doesn't "see" it ;/

[Evilphd]

Few times. Had to disconnect my device (headset / mic) and reconnect it.

[Dan-E-Only]

Still not fixed!!!! And sometime disabling hands free telephony works and input and output will work for a while and all of a sudden no microphone AGAIN

[EastCoastGamingHFX]

Ok. so i'm guessing most people here are windows 10/11

Run helldivers.. it needs to be running... open your sound mixer.. and the sound settings (right click on your speaker icon bottom right for both). Make sure that your input and output are set to what you use. Your mic should be default comms and device.

IF you are using some sort of mixer like a goxlr or voicemeeter etc. Or even Nvidia broadcast. You need to set those as your default line in if your mic is directly connected to it or routed through it.

For example in voicemeeter If you have your mic routed to B1. your mic must be set to Voicemeeter out b1 in the sound settings. Otherwise it's not going to work.

I would also suggest that you disable anything your not using that way windows don't try to set those to active. And check the steam voice just in case.. even though that shouldn't be the issue.

If you want to use the windows 7/xp style of your sound options. It's there. Someone else posted how to search for it.
Or make a shortcut on your desktop and put this in..
C:\Windows\explorer.exe %windir%\system32\mmsys.cpl
That will open it for you.

[CptKerion]

I discovered that I had to go into the control panel, the microphone settings, then disable the ability of applications to have exclusive access to the mic to get it to work for Helldivers 2, even when helldivers 2 was the only thing accessing it. Weird as hell, but it worked.

[za77ack]

I've done thread suggestions to no success. :(

I have a question to ask that I've not really seen addressed in this thread or elsewhere I've searched on the Internet...

That is: is anyone else not even hearing other people's voice chat? I've not heard one word from any player in my 100+ hrs of playing this game and I've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with audio/chat/voice stuff from week 1.

tldr: I don't hear players nor am able to chat... don't see the voice indications at all since day 1.

[Sabrehawk]

if you have any bluetooth audio stuff that has hands free mic, the game is too broken for that to ever work correctly under windows 11, They never even acknowledged the bug exists, they simply ignore it since launch..it has been posted a gazillion times , they dont care.

[Roboticolgamer]

It picks up my mic for talk to text but not to other players
Any idea how to fix that?

Ok tried it and it works for me too.

Hello there, had the same issue, I'm using corsair virtuoso headset. I do use the corsair dongle to have wireless connection... When disconnected it is swapped to normal jack mic input... Anyways the solution of changing your default input device to your headset helped.
So thank you and hopefully it works for others who are having similar issue.

I've verified, made it my specific headset, and ive set my audio mixer to my headset as well and it still doesnt work. I Cant communicate with my mic at all.

[Citizen Tim]

Elite Atlas Aero Headset - Mic working fine with everything else, but Helldivers cannot access it. It used to. But I reinstalled windows and since have installed the last Windows 11 major update as well the 2024-07 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5040527) The Microphone used to work before my reinstallation of windows and the updates, and I have made sure ALL default devices, sound mixer settings et etc are Perfect. Still nothing. I can only conclude its Helldivers 2.

[Postimies]

I have the same problem. No help
