Microphone Issues

  • Ahoy all pirates!

    I need urgent help please.

    I am having issues with my microphone ingame - nobody can't hear me.

    I did try countless steps from countless tutorials, but nothing doesn't seems to work, I was even so desperate, that I did reinstall the game on the Steam, but surprise surprise, that didn't helped.

    I did setup in windows my microphone as default device, manually even change for SOT (from Default to my actual microphone), I did troubleshoot Xbox app (although, when I can go in settings, it telling me that gamebar have to run and it doesn't open settings for mic) and Game Bar, I did make sure, that privacy is setup and SOT is allowed to use the microphone and much more.

    My friend who have no issues at all even unninstal XBOX app and doesn't need it, so I don't neccasery feel it's Xbox app.

    In game, when I am trying to talk (push to talk), my friend can see the chat bubble, but can't hear anything, he did double check and doesn't have mute on me. Also, if I press Win + G, my mic is selected and I can see, that when I talk, the mic spiking.

    The issue is ONLY in SOT, another games, Discord, no problem at all.

    Please if anyone have any experience with it, I will really appriciate it a lot, because I am super desperate and don't know what do. The way how I feel about mic in this game is that it's crucial part of it, because the social interaction is for me personally super important to get maximum out of the game.

    I wish you wind in your sails and good treasure.

    Thank you,
    Semtex.

    Same thing happening to me and my wife. Party chat works fine. Game chat no one can hear us.

  • There might be a settings in the gamebar that has to do with audio that might have gotten switched. I've had a similar problem and that turned out to be the issue. Hope this helps

  • (Not clear from your post) When you open up Game Bar, make sure you select your mic as the Default Communication Device, the bottom option under Voice, not just the Windows Default Input.

    You don't say whether you are on Windows 10 or 11, but if you're still on 10, you can also go the Sound Control Panel (right-click speaker icon on taskbar and select Sounds) and under the recording tab set your mic as your Default Communication Device.
