40964 Error - suitable capture device not found

[SKEPP]

Cannot use voice chat in game. When I try to enable Push-to-Talk in settings the error in the title appears.

I have tried:
turn "Allow apps to access your microphone" on (already was)
disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
closing other apps that may be taking microphone priority
reinstalling the game
(microphone also doesn't have any non-English characters)

Hi, I recall someone having this error a long time ago. https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/3076496088116013685/

I think this happens to people who have "unusual" microphones.

It appears using Voicemeeter somehow solved their issue. Could be worth a try, perhaps.

Thank you! I guess you can say I have an unusual microphone.
I will try that out in the coming days and report back.

EDIT:
Maybe I am not setting it up correctly, but Barotrauma now simply doesn't recognise both my speakers and my microphone (discord, other games, etc, worked fine though, so I think the issue is isolated to baro). Fair to say this has not worked for me, but may be a solution for someone else.

Could not start voice capture; suitable capture device not found. (40964)

Hey! After the last update my game can't see my mic. Everything was fine before btw. The newest mic and gaming drivers, privacy settings allow Bara to use mic, its named correctly and I can see it in settings, but somehow game just can't capture my voice. Checked my files, game version, etc, deleted it and reinstalled. Idk, what else can I do to fix this trouble, please, help.

Hi, I merged both of your threads. Despite the recent update separating your threads, it appears you both are having the same issue.

It's possible that this could be a "detail-specific" issue. Not many people seem to have it.

Two questions that may help locate the source of your issue: What operating system are you using? And what language is your computer using? Some users on Linux have reported recent issues, and others have reported issues involving their computer's operating language ( ex: chinese or japanese ), although most of those issues have been addressed in the recent hotfix. Just trying to find the origin of the problem here. Telling us the name of the device you are using could be helpful too, of course.

I also found this thread in which a user encountered the "40964" issue and apparently solved it. It may be unrelated but I thought it was still worth linking just in case: https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/3040481812847063774/

If you still experience issues, I suggest posting a report ticket on the Github page as it's the #1 place if you want to be read by the developers quickly. They do review reports here but the forum's layout isn't as good as the Github page, and given the current activity due to the official release of the game, your report could get buried by others over time.

Ty for answer.

Windows 10 pro;
Language: Russian;
Fifine Ampligame a8 USB mic.

Apparently VoiceMeeter can help: you just need to place your mic in hardware input and choose it in game.

Looks like my game can hear my voice, didn't try to play yet, but at leats I can see the volume. That's good, but, honestly, I would like to play without side apps. So we are waiting for hotfixes, I hope, it will be resolved.

I am writing from a translator
Disabling "Razer Synapse/Cortex" helped me
I also thought for a long time why is this so?
Then I removed it from the autorun, launched the game and everything works well
It is possible that the author has a completely different problem, I hope it will help

Antivirus. Shut it down. You won`t believe me, how much time I spent trying to fix this ♥♥♥♥, before I tried switching my kaspersky off.

Yeah can agree on last comment, it partially worked for me after disabling Kaspersky. though other mics are still not working for me
