CS2 - MIC NOT WORKING - [!SOLUTION!]

[NJÁLGI]

A new update has fixed this issue. Open CS2, go to Settings > Audio and select your input device and adjust your mic threshold!

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO hopefully FIX YOUR IN-GAME MIC

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR MIC ACTUALLY WORKS BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS. I RECOMMEND USING "AUDACITY": https://www.audacityteam.org/download/

PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL YOUR AUDIO & GRAPHICS DRIVERS ARE UP-TO-DATE (ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A USB MIC)

SOLUTION 1:
Step 1: Open Steam & launch CS2.
Step 2: Open Steam overlay (Shift+Tab) and open the "Settings" window.
Step 3: Go to the "Voice" tab & select the correct mic/input device.
Step 4: Make sure your "Input/Volume Gain" is set to max & turn off "Voice Transmission Threshold"
Step 5: Now go to the "In-game Voice" tab (it only appears after talking ingame, its a bit random when or if this tab appears)
Step 6: From there you can repeat Step 3 & 4.

SOLUTION 2:
Step 1: Find & open "Sound Control Panel" in Windows.
Step 2: Go to the "Recording" tab & find your correct mic/input device.
Step 3: Make sure to disable all other input devices that you don't want to use (Sometimes CS2 thinks your webcam or game controller is your default mic input).
Step 4: Right-Click on the correct mic/input device and go to "Properties".
Step 5: Go the "Levels" tab and make sure your mic/device input volume is set to 100%.
Step 6: From there you should experiment with the "Microphone Boost" level as this may be the only reason why CS2 is not picking up your mic. I've set mine to 20% but this varies from mic to mic. (NOTE: you might have to lower your input volume on Discord after this.)

SOLUTION 3:
Step 1: Literally just move your mic closer to your mouth or talk louder.

Just to make sure since it isn't explicitly mentioned, did you make sure your bind is correct? CS2 reset key binds from CSGO so make sure you switch it if it was different!

I have the same problem when I speak in a normal tone the microphone does not work in cs2 but if I start speaking louder the microphone seems to pick up my voice but at the same time it works fine in cs:go and other programs. I would like the microphone to work like in CS:GO, there were no problems with it.

also dealing with this. when I used the loopback=true command my game audio would loop and my voice was nowhere to be heard. works perfectly fine in csgo, valorant, discord, etc. only happening in cs2 :/

Have the same problem with HyperX Cloud II - works fine in CS:GO and is also selected in CS2, but nobody can hear me.

I've read it might work if you hold the push to talk button down for more than 3-5 seconds. Might be a bug in CS2 ...
