can't talk in game for any game

[MATT]

No matter what online game I play (even on other platforms like battle.net and uplay) i'm not able to hear my team mate's mic chat nor are they able to hear mine. It happened out of nowhere in the middle of a csgo game and it has been like this since. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[MATT]

also would like to mention that my headset works during skype calls

did you configure windows audio settings to use the mic as default input?

start -> run/search -> mmsys.cpl

Do you use any 3rd party communicating software during gaming or just whatever comes with the game platform?

I haven't used Synapse before so I'm uncertain what features it offers. However your issue seems to be gaming related only, is it possible that Synapse applies some sort of setting overriding profile whenever it detects a game running? I do know a lot of these gaming hardware assistance software will perform similar actions.

I hear alot of streamers complaining that Synapse gets in the way of everything. I would just uninstall that or temp rid it from the OS startup and such; then see how everything goes.

What audio do you have? Either sound card or motherboard onboard audio?
Go get the latest driver from the chipset maker (such as Realtek if you have that, like most Motherboards do) and then configure your Default Playback/Recording in Windows.

IDK about Uplay Games specifically; I have TheDivision and voice always worked on that; but again that also comes down to how you have Voice Chat setup, either in Uplay or within the said game itself.

This is bull can’t talk at all for the past couple of weeks no sound moving during test and usb headset don’t even work it’s either that or my laptop has built in mic but the stupid thing stopped working to!

[Bad 💀 Motha]

USB Headset = plug it in before running any apps that will use audio; such as Steam and/or Game

Then go to Windows Playback/Recording and set the USB Headset as the default for both playback and recording. Then launch your app you wish to use audio and then within that apps settings, confirm the playback/recording is set properly inside there as well. Same with any games you wish to run.

Laptops do have a built-in Webcam w/ Mic; so yes this Mic is always the default one unless changed.
