Microphone is not working.

[Ranger]

In short, my Mic is not working in this game for over 3 years now. I am a Software enginier, so technical knowledge is not the problem here. It works fine in squad for over 10 years. It also worked before on this game. But around 3 years ago, the Mic input stopped working in this game. Everything is rigthfully configured (even in Windows with default input devices).
The only notable difference to other settups may be, that I have a external soundcard in my system (asus xonar ae). This soundcard also gets recognized by the game, but no sound is received if I select both of the given options (default device or external soundcard)
I would love if devs could fix this, since I am a PR veteran and played with many devs of this game back then on the Normandy events and really love the ww2 experinece of this game from time to time.

Same here. Works in squad though, but I never found a solution to this one.

Do either of you have a VR headset? Those have been known to cause the mic not to work. Either unplug or disable it.

Otherwise, use the mic setup guide, follow it step for step.

Thx for your answer. As I said, I have everything rigthfully configured. Its definitly a Bug in the Programcode or a Driverproblem which also only can be fixed by devs. I really hope one of them takes a quick look at it, there are many guys with mic issues which makes the game unplayable.

What's your mic or headset brand and model? I'm unaware of any particular model that doesn't work with the game, but that could be a possibility. If it's a driver problem then that's on the manufacturer.

My soundcard is a "Asus Xonar AE" with an analog out/input, so headset doesent matter (anyway its a Sennheiser Game One). It works fine on every program/application/game except for squad 44. And I mean driver problem in therms of maybe the driver is for some reason not compatible with your audio frameworks.

Ah, it's not a USB headset. I haven't dealt with those in years. So how does it show up in the Windows sound dialog box (the old school one) - does it say the name of the headset mic or the name of the sound card input jack?

[Ranger]

It shows as Microphone, all other inputs are disabled.

MIC issue still not fixed. It pnly works if I use the mainboard soundcard (MIC input). Seems like the Input of the external soundcard is not being transmitted.

I'm not sure but it sounds like there's a conflict having two sounds cards? Is there any way to disable the mainboard soundcard, either via Windows sound control panel or even the bios?

This has been a long term problem for some. It has now occurred to me after this update. Mid game, mic stops taking input. Only fix is to restart game. No idea what is causing it, only game/application with issues. standard USB mic/headset combo.
