Testing microphone

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

I bought a microphone that puts the mic right near my mouth. I never had good results with the clip on mics that would only be on my shirt collar, so I bought this one that wraps around your ears kinda like a call-center person would have I guess.

How can I test it out without loading up a game?

Steam -> settings -> voice

But that really doesn't tell how it's gonna sound in game... Go play offline set sv_cheat 1 and voice_loopback 1, and try out your mic.

I can't navigate to the push to talk button in CS:GO either...


I pushed the down arrow a lot...then I got tired and pushed it 29 times up and thats when I was able to see the highlighted option.....

not sure that i'm following.. you go optioins, keyboard / mouse, scroll down and after the chat keys there is "use mic"... bind it to something, go play with bots, bot_kick, sv_cheat 1 and voice_loopback 1, and then use your mic key to speak and listen how it sounds... Or then you could go to optioins, audio, mic setup and test it there, but like I said, it prolly won't sound like that in game... atleast for me it's sounds horrible in game, altho it sounds just fine in mic setup...

My menu is all messed up.. I can't scroll any further

Give me a second and I'll upload a screen shot

The bind key is at K and I can't change it to mouse3

Oh well, incase you just wanna test your mic, right click on volume icon, recording devices, choose the microphone, properties, tab "listen", check "listen to this device" and apply, and you should hear yourself...

"My menu is all messed up.. I can't scroll any further" - That is if you go through "Edit use mic key" from audio options.... it's all fked up for me too, you gotta go Optioins --> keyboard / mouse --> (look for "use mic") and bind it there...

Ok I got it. I went into keyboard options instead of mic options and it worked. Thanks guys.
