Mic Not Working With Steam

[raptorr427 17]

So out of nowhere, my microphone is not being picked up by Steam. When I go into my sound settings on my PC, the bar moves when I talk, like normal. Then when I go to Steam, the bar does not move at all. I tried to uninstall Steam and reinstall it, but that did not work. I have restarted my PC plenty of times, no luck with that either. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

What kind is it. Headset? If so What brand. Try pluging in the headset before you start steam

It is the Turtle Beach PX22. It is weird because it never had this problem until last night. I'll give it a shot.

How do you disable it Lonnie?

Might sound stupid, but do you have it set as your default recording device under audio settings?

I do, my PC picks up any sound through my mic, but Steam is not picking up anything.

That worked Lonnie, thanks. It's a shame that I can't record now though. Do you know of any way to continue to use shadowplay but still have the mic working?

i have not looked into that just yet took me like 3 hours 3 mics and tons of getting really pissed to discover that

Well again, thanks. Let me known if you ever figure out the problem. I'm on Windows 10 by the way.
