Olympus community I require your aid

[Grandma Gary 10529]

So my POS mic has stopped working in game and I've tried like 3 diferent things to get it working with no luck.  If any of you degenerates can come up with a solution I will grant you a boon.  Said boon can be chosen from the following list:

1. Get out of ban free card.  (scripting related shitters can eat my ass...unless you help then we may be able to work something out as long as you don't tell @ Fraali )

2. One free use of the gamer word card

3. @ Noble s toe pics

4. Some Olympus $ or some shit

 

Things I have tried to fix this shitty mic issue

1. Confirmed default settings in Windows, microphone works everywhere except in game in Arma 3, works in Reforger, does not work on other Arma 3 servers

2. Switched it off and on.

3. Yelled at it and told it how disappointed I am.

4. Turns out there is some Windows setting that actually record when and what application is actively using your mic and Arma 3 last utlized it on the 13th of this month.  There are no windows updates or other software installations on that date.

PLZ HELP

shift+tab ingame to open steam overlay,navigate to settings there,configure your mic there (see if cranking up the volume does anything there]

run steam/arma 3 as administrator

verify game cash

set a bind in escape > configure > controls under multiplayer tab and set a bind for talking in direct chat to see if that will help.

try using a voice over net key.

reinstall a3

escape - configure - audio and turn your microphone slider up/auto adjust

hopefully one of these help!

also the equivalent 10 mil on green hit would be much appreciated so i can help more new players if u get it working

Friend of mine had a similiar issue and all it took was clicking this and letting it do its thing:

[nman 535]

set arma to always run as administrator, set your in game settings to use "default microphone" and set your headset/mic to default in the device manager.

[Mudiwa 789]

I use a 10 year old logitech webcam for a mic just do that

[Frog Legs 240]

[TroyOGG 192]

@ Energy  has been having this issue for months, he resorted to not opening the game anymore.. It seems to have worked.

Hope this helps. 

[Iceman 471]

@ Nephew  also had this problem. He also resorted to not opening the game any more.

If you are on Windows 11, there is a driver issue with some mics. What mic are you using?

[Gazz 155]

already have the toe pics dw nobey there locked in a safe

[Millennium 5848]

Make sure steam is using the proper mic. Its pretty retarded but yea

I would ensure your correct input is set in Windows:

 

Then another thing is on Steam open your Friends & Chat. Click the cogwheel. Go to Voice and set your Voice Input Device.

 

Lastly, check your in-game Arma 3 voice settings.
