MIc is not recorded

[nax]

Recording in background with 180 minutes at 24Mbps all the game seems to record just fine but my mic is not.

I'm recording "all system" and record microphone is on.

The game in question is squad which has it's own in-game chat push to talk, when talking in the game I can't hear me

hmm I think i know what the issue is. My voice options in steam is set to push to talk.

It will record the mic while I push the steam push to talk button but not while I push the game push to talk button. (the game has 3 buttons for different radios so mapping the same button is not an option)

I understand why was done this way but this doesn't seem ideal or intuitive I thought those options only applied while talking with someone through the steam chat not in a game that has it's own voice configuration.


The solution has been to always enable the mic on since I don't use it on steam for anything else in my case but if you do this doesn't seem that ideal.

I thought of that, mine was set to open mic, still didn't work

Hopefully I just solved this for myself, I won't be able to test for about 18 hours.
Under steam settings, go to "broadcast" on the left side. Near the bottom will be a toggle for "record my microphone."
