Headset mic wont work...

[Cameron]

I have turtle beaches and they work perfectly fine on every other game except squad and this game, i looked it up and for squad they said other peoples aren't working that has had headset mic's.i dont really know what the problem is but i hope it gets fixed since communication is key.

Edit: I also have a microphone that sits on my desk, also wont work for some reason but works on other games

Same issue, Wireless Turtle beach stealth 600. so i figured it might be an issue with wireless since im using the wireless adapter dongle, although it works fine for everything else.

Check your Steam microphone settings, maybe you're muted only there so it doesn't show in games that do not rely on steam's comm-system?

A recent update seems to have moved/removed the option to check mics in steam.
It used to be as simple as settings - voice - test microphone
Don't know where it is now or if it still is????

There's been a real problem with USB mics certainly. 3.5mm ones tend to work.
Win 10 can also block mic comms, worth looking at. Although if other apps are working it's probably not that.

Windows settings - privacy - microphone - allow apps to access microphone.

This solution seems to have fixed it.

This is a temporary band-aid for some headsets not working in Post Scriptum for talking, specifically some wireless headsets or headsets advertised for consoles but also working on PC (Xbox One Turtle Beach headsets)

1. Download and Install VB-Cable here: https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/
2. Set your VB Cable as your new default recording device.
3. Go into the properties of your headset and enable listening, set the VB-Cable as the listening device and save.

Im also using a turtle beach and i found a very easy solution that worked for me (im on windows 7 btw), go to the properties of your mic and under the listening tab theres an option to select the device used to playback the sound of the mic, i changed it from standard to the turtle beach and it then worked great.
I did however changed the setup a bit and now have the mic going though a 3.5mm jack instead of USB by a 3.5mm jack splitter that seperates the mic and the left/right channels.
The last method provides a better sound for my teammates according by them but the little fix did work and i played with it for atleast a week maybe 2.

Edit: i also tried the method mentioned above, with the VB-cable but i couldnt get that to work, it did give me the idea to change the device like i mentioned so it partly fixed the issue haha

They changed the UI in steam, go to your friends list and hit the settings icon on the right, mic settings are now in there.

Ya i don't like what they did. If you're in-game and want to turn on friends it pulls you out of game and minimizes it. It used to just pop up in the steam overlay....
