Some of my games audio and mic don't work? but others do

[ToonyRinny]

So apparently games like SCP:SL and VRChat aren't working, I've set the microphone and headset as default already but still doesn't work, what can I do for it to work?

[crunchyfrog]

First question - are you using a second monitor or plugging into your TV or something?

If so make sure you go to Windows settings and disabled ALL the sound devices you don't want to use.

I have a laptop that I have setup by my bed, plugged into my TV. If I set the resolution to 1080 on some games, it will bung the audio on the laptop speakers, if I bung it to 720p (which I natively use) it will go to the TV speakers.

I'm using two monitors, that doesn't affect where the sound input and the mic goes, I've already disabled everything besides the main mic and headset and yet it still doesn't work, it shouldn't be windows 11 either because this happened after the update, and I was able to play and hear after the windows 11 update

Well all I can tell you is it DOES happen and this is a way to fix it.

If you go into windwos settings and disabled everything except the one audio device you want to use, it just forces it to use that.

I don't know why this hjappens but it does,

as I said I already have, the problem still occurs

Well that may be so, all I can say is it does work.

I don't know what else to offer really outside of of fiddling with the program that you got with your headset mic (or whwtaever additional audio utility you might use).

[ToonyRinny]

Yeah, I only have my headset as the only audio input enabled, and my mic as the only recording device enabled, and yet games like vrchat don't even detect a mic at all when i check the mic options of the games

Hmmm, in that case could be an issue with your drivers or software for your headset then.

[ToonyRinny]

I updated all my drivers, they are all fine, the headset worked before in the games so I don't think that's the issue either

Well was there any change between when the thing last worked and now. If it was something like a driver, I'd try completely uninstalling the driver then reinstalling it. Sometimes that can cause issues if you just reinstall over the top.

I know that's along sdhot.

Could be. Basically ANYTHING that cahnges may be suspect.

Maybe check that everything wa suninstalled properly. Wouldn't be the first app to uninstall and leave legacy stuff behind.

Dude i think i fixed it partially, there was a hidden type of selection for mic and headset for some reason i never had, so i deleted it now i can hear everything tysm

That's cool. Was this under windows settings? Because yeah, that can be a pain how that's laid out. I don't understand why they do this.
