Microphone Problems
My microphone stops working completely while playing. I've had this problem since the release of the Demo and have no idea what a potential trigger might be.

My mic is connected to an USB-Soundcard. The only way I've noticed my microphone not working so far is by being on a Discord-server and all of a sudden noone seems to hear me. A quick check confirms that my microphone is not sending any sound.

This occurs at a system level and is not restricted to Discord, it's just the only way I've noticed it.
Checking the mic in the Windows sound settings shows the mic not doing anything. Dis- and reconnecting the mic changes the mic's status to "unavailable" in Windows and locks me out of any possibilities to change the mic's settings. In my eyes this points to problem between the Soundcard and whatever Disgaea is sending.

My only fix so far has been to dis- and reconnect the Soundcard but crawling under my table which doesn't seem like the best solution.

I've tried using "SoundThreadPriorityBoost=2" to no avail. I've tried pinpointing the moment the mic cuts out to no avail. I FEEL like it's connected to certain effects or transitions between battle and story but since it doesn't occur everytime there's a change.. I don't know.

Microphone : "Antlion Modmic 5"
Soundcard : "Creative USB Sound Blaster X-Fi HD"

OS: Win 10 64 Bit
16GB RAM
GTX 1070
i7-6700k

I really hope this could be fixed, although I realize that I'm possibly alone with this problem.

I've done some testing by listening to my microphone during gameplay and was able to reproduce the bug twice.
Both times when my microphone stopped working it was right when Seraphina's Revenge Mode became active (You get a close up of the character, certain sound effect, character says a line).

Before that 2 Enemies (Valvatorez & Fenrich) and 1 Ally (a Sage) entered Revenge and nothing happened. So it's either tied to the number of Revenge states entered or just Seraphina's . I'll test some more.

Edit: It's not tied to Seraphina, just her entering Revenge mode doesn't trigger the bug. So either the character doesn't matter (and it's random) or it's after multiple revenge modes.

Edit 2: Triggered around 5 Revenges during 1 battle, Seraphina included, everything works fine. It might be totally random but I believe it's tied to the Revenge activation. Hope any of this helps.

I can now confirm this bug happening at a system level since it has now happened without Discord running. It seems to be tied to the triggering of Revenge Modes (allies only).
