Mic NOT WORKING no matter what I do.

[NeonHavok]

List of things ive done:

In sound control panel;
made mic default device and default comms device + disable everything except my mic

In app volume and device preferences;
i made my mic the default for Post scriptum

In game;
tried using default,audio device and tried selecting my mic,
tried selecting my mic then default and vice versa in game(and yes i hit apply every time), tried resetting my user cache,
tried ressetting all my options,
tried restarting,
left and joined different servers,
used Fullscreen and borderless,
IF any of these things make my mic work it cuts out after like 2 minutes, and yes i join active communicating squads to make sure.

I even reinstalled windows,
uninstalled and reinstalled the game,
verified game files,
deleted the app data in file browser under appdata,
unplugged and plugged the mic.
Its also allowed through the firewall
in the widows option under privacy in microphone the game is listed and it says the game is using my mic

My mic works perfectly with everything else, it literally only Post Scriptum that has a issue.

Am i just screwed or it there some weird work around i dont know about?
Ive been playn this game since way before it was called Squad44 and this is the first time ive ever had a issue of this magnitude

Also side note, certain audio like my own footsteps, and certain automatic machine guns when i fire them cut out or I dont hear them at all, but ill hear every other sound at the same time i cannot hear the automatic weapon or my footsteps, or going through brush.
No idea if its related.......

Devs please fix, I literally cannot play this game without bein able to communcate with the team, as i sometimes feel the need to Squad Lead or help out new players that dont quite grasp the game yet (which i cant help cause my mic stops working or doesnt work altogether)

UPDATE: I think I found the fix, not too sure if its permanent since i played for 40mins then my game crashed, but putting the mic quality to 44100khz seems to let me alt tab and not cut out my mics ability to transmit. Its such a dumb fix, but i guess ill have to change my mic quality every time i play this game from now on

why would you pick a higher sampling rate? The only benefit is for audio production for more headroom in the very high frequenzies, e.g. if you want to pitch sth. down to make it "hearable". (20hz-20khz hearable range, you need dubble the khz in sampling rate to don't alter the audio, so 44100hz is more than enough. Everything higher basically just records higher frequenzies, that you can't even hear, the "improvement" in audio quality is marginal, since you trade off foldback aliasing for intermodulation distortion. (But yes, Audio-DVD-Sellers like to advert it as "higher fidelity", and most would believe it, since higher numbers are better, no?^^) Do you confuse it with bitrate and have therefore set it higher? Search bitrate and sampling rate to learn more.)

But good you posted it, i was not aware of this issue.

The bug with footsteps is known, you sadly have to reconnect to get rid of it. The machine gun cutting out or keeping on firing is also a known bug - as far as i understood its because of how the audio loops are set up.

this bug still persists and as far as I'm aware there is absolutely no fix, you can try setting your microphone to your default device via going to sound settings click on your micro and where is has set as default set it for both
