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.

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.

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

Same here with the same headsets, it works perfectly on cs go and discord, and at cs2 nobody can hear me

Same problem

Are you guys sure that it's a bug? Have the same issue, mic only works when I scream into it.. Have turned down voice_threshold, have set sound_device_override to my headphones that have worked perfectly fine for any other task/ game, double checked mic/ headphones settings - just can't find a solution.

Hope someone can fix this.

Have u muted all players in game communication tab? I tried to mute casual players and it did nothing to them but muted my mic ingame xd buggy mess

same here with HyperX Cloud II

Same problem, I think perhaps voice_threshold is not actually changing anything when you set it to, let's say, 0. That is my hunch. We need to be able to completely disable the threshold, there shouldn't be one on push to talk.

same... i tried pretty much everything for like 3 hours... its a problem in cs2
we can just wait for a fix or buy a new headset..

Same with the HyperX Alpha's, it's weird. Sometimes I play around with the steam ingame voice settings and manage to get it work, but only temporary. We need a fix for this asap.

Guys, try this, worked for me:

CSGO is using the microphone u set in the steam launcher.
CS2 is using the default microphone from Windows. So check if you have ur Mic as standard there. Then u need to follow SimplyTV an twitch. kekw

This works perfectly. Thanks!
