Microphone, troubleshooting

Recommended Posts

I am trying to get my microphone to work for ARMA mp.  Loved the campaign, enjoying mp, but having to stop to type is a huge pain for comms.

 

I am using a Blue Yeti USB mike, on Windows 10.  It works.  I have enabled it in Windows settings, and set is as default.  I have gone into Steam and checked the necessary boxes under 'Voice' and Steam also picks up my mike. 

 

But it doesn't work in ARMA.  Yes, I am pressing (and holding) caps lock to talk.  And yes, the servers have voice chat enabled (others are talking).

 

Any tips or suggestions?  I have tried global, local, team, channels, doesn't appear to make any difference.  There is no speaker icon next to my user name, when I press U.

 

Thanks!

I FIGURED IT OUT BROS.

 

Don't know what I did differently.  Definitely have to activate it in Windows Settings.  Have to set it up under Steam/Friends/Voice.  I think I may have made things difficult by setting a key in Steam for 'talk to push' along with ARMA's 'talk to push'.

Activate in Device Manager.

Set as default in Windows 10 Sound settings.

Mike test in Steam/Friends/Voice.  Use Open mike in Steam but remember to use Caps Lock to push to talk in ARMA.   Then you want to make sure the server you are on is voice-enabled, and that you are using the correct channel.  Change channel to global, using / and then down arrow, to test.  Only people in your group are going to hear you if you use group channel, and if you just joined a server you are probably not in a group at that moment!

 

Hope that helps anyone that has the same problem in the future!
