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.
