Bug - Mic not recording despite being enabled

[Hammie]

I've got the correct input device selected in steam settings and everything is loud and clear when testing within the steam menu, but my mic doesn't record at all in steam recordings. It might not be using the same device that I have selected for steam, but I don't see a separate configurable option for steam recordings.

I'm also having this issue. I have also tried selecting which applications to record audio from (Discord + Game) and it picks up everything except my own mic. :/

microphone settings in steam in general are bugged this beta. opening the microphone menu in big picture doesn't let you access half the options (push to talk/mute, the echo and noise cancellation options, or even automatic gain control) and setting the options in desktop mode then going into big picture resets them. microphone setup needs to be fixed for voice chat and recording to be usable in steam.

Also having this issue. I have this issue with Microsoft GameBar too. Have no idea why neither of them record my mic, I thought it was something to do with me being in a Discord call but after testing it with Discord both open and closed, nothing. No mic at all. Not even faintly since I did a test where I blew into the mic as hard as I could.

Hey, thanks for the quick response. It looks like it's picking up my microphone input now, but it's incredibly quiet and muffled. Nothing at all what it sounds like when testing in steam settings

Seems to be working fine on my end now thanks!

I'd personally like an option to disable game audio capture outright, and have an option to "Capture Microphone only"

Since I have a mixamp through which I already do the audio mixing (game capture included), so I'd like to record that mic output, if it were possible in the future.

Hello there!
The microphone works now, though it seems to cut out a lot.
I have tried setting my input volume/gain to maximum, leaving it as open microphone, turning off voice transmission threashold, disabling echo and noise cancellation, as well as turning off automatic volume/gain control, all just lead to words that either don't get picked up or cut out entirely.

My voice works entirely fine in Discord calls and when using the microphone test in the voice settings of Steam.

I would add an option to separate the tracks too. This way you always have access to both and can easily swap to whichever you need, or just mix them both.

I am having the same issue. I've made several recordings with Discord and without it, using different settings in Windows and Steam and no matter what I do my voice is not recorded in any case.

[Magos Flibble]

Chiming in, same issue. Voice does not come through properly in recordings despite sounding fine and clear in discord/windows audio settings/ steam mic test.
