I dont know if this has been suggested already but it would be really handy if they added a mic input option so you can choose which microphone is used in the game because for example i have multiple microphones and i don't know which one the game uses and i cant even see the voice chat icon anymore
Mic input
We've literally being asking for it for years.
But, for your own sanity, Sea of Thieves will always use whatever device is "set as default communication device", not just "set as default device".
You can set this in either the Sounds settings (right-click on your speaker icon bottom right, select Sounds, Recording tab, right-click on device)... or you can set it in Game Bar's Audio widget (Win+G to bring up Game Bar).
I've theorised before that the reason they do it this way is something to do with Xbox Live's privacy policies. That's really the only explanation I can think of for why they wouldn't allow us to switch it in-game.
