microphone not working still.
has anyone found a legit fix for the microphone problem in this game. where you hold down PTT and your icon appears in the bottom left but now sound comes out. every other application and game works totally fine on my PC including CS:GO but CS2 there's nothing.

I'm seeing "fixes" that involve turning the gain up on your mic to absurd levels which results in every other application on your PC having extremely messed up settings or others that involve creating virtual microphones. i wouldn't consider those fixes not even a band-aid, more like putting a used band-aid on it

If your mic is working in other applications but not in CS2 then just go to your settings and set the appropriate mic input setting.

i have. CS2 doesnt let you select a microphone in game so the best ive done is selected the correct mic in steam voice settings and it still doesnt work.

CS2's voice settings are excruciatingly limited to just chat volume and a drop down for PTT/open mic

I thought it let you change it. Either way, if it's not there, then it's set to use default.

If you're on windows, go to the search bar and type in "sound" and select "Sound Settings", scroll past Output and you'll find input, select your mic to be default.

I find it really hard to believe that everything is right on your end and your mic works in everything else but not CS2. Something is amiss.

See if it's plugged in, or even turned on.

it would be a pretty dumb thing to lie about. the reason i'm pointing out the fact it works on everything else is to make it clear it is in fact a problem with CS2 so hopefully someone has an answer. my microphones that are connected to windows right now is my headset mic, and my webcam mic. my headset microphone is and always has been my default communication device on windows. ive even tried unplugging the webcam entirely to fully make sure CS2 isnt taking priority over the my actual microphone. im typing this while currently talking on teamspeak, my microphone works on discord, steam chat, windows store games like sea of thieves, ubisoft launcher games like R6S, EA play games like FIFA. ive tested all these platforms extensively since the launch of CS2. its not just me with this issue, the friend im currently talking to in teamspeak is having the same issue his mic also works across all different games and voice chat softwares. we're both using different mics so i dont think its the microphone manufacturers either since his is a pretty damn good mic

You gotta change the microphone in the friendlist thingy, like you would talk to your friends over steam chat vc

Check what you mic settings are in your teamspeak server then. Like I said, something is amiss, which is why I told you to check your default mic settings. I never called you a liar, I just said that something is screwed up somewhere so how about you stop jumping to conclusions and try it.
