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.

Something else that fixed it for me

-> Shift + Tab
-> Settings
-> Voice
Scroll down to -> "Voice Transmission Threshold" and set it to "None".

The reason why it does what it does in CS2 is because it thinks you are talking too quietly, and acts as a noise gate, like discord, except Steam sucks at it.

For anyone that is still struggling with this and mic works with everything EXCEPT CS:GO 2, and when you press the talk key you see the icon but nothing comes out, there's a solution:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tbGOH1_Wbv94hwo1mVG31Sv1mbhqZqvM4cqw8yV2j2o/edit

This guide solved it for me. It requires a bit of set-up but once you go through it you'll have a virtual microphone that you can turn up and this will get picked up by CS:GO 2. To test, press shift+tab in game, go to the settings (cog icon at the bottom) and go to the "In-game voice" tab on the left. The test here should work, but you have to make sure your device is set to the virtual "CABLE OUTPUT" you just installed. Doing this allowed me to actually hear myself in that test. Hope this helps.

Same problem here. I'm calling out in game but later teammate said that they did not hear me entire game.

how i fix this 1) in windows sound-volume settings choose your output&input device's whats you use. 2) next in steam settings choose all output&input by default, and off voice transmission threshold, and off all advanced settings 3) in game choose by default playback device. done

My mic is still not working. I have tried everything. It works everywhere else.

[vee]

voice_always_sample_mic true; 
snd_autodetect_latency false;
voice_threshold 0

use

voice_loopback 1

to check if your mic is working or not

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 :/

same for me... :/
