delta38 0 Posted July 28 Background Hi, I believe I've run into a bug with the game not selecting the default microphone device upon startup and resetting it after each transmission. This occured on game version 1.2.0.98 (haven't tried mic postpocessing apps before then). Since the volume on my SteelSeries Arctis 3 headset microphone seems really low ingame for some reason, I've run it through the SteelSeries GG app's Sonar module to boost the gain and use noise cancelling and echo reduction (it basically takes input from the regular mic device and creates an output device). The output mic is set as the default device and default communications device in Windows 11 audio settings as seen below: Default devices: What Arma starts with: What I can see in Sonar: Repro steps After I change the microphone via the system sound mixer to the regular device, and then back to the SteelSeries Sonar - Microphone I can see that the app picks up that Arma is using that device now: I can then talk to others ingame and the feedback I get is that the voice quality is way better, but as soon as I let go of the PTT key, the Sonar app stops showing Arma Reforger in the apps using this device, and the next transmission I make is again nearly inaudible to others. It seems to use the device I've set for the first transmission, and for any subsequent transmissions it likely reverts to using what it started with. I've compared this behaviour to how Squad handles the microphone, and with that game I can see in the app, that the game is using the correct mic from the start and it doesn't change upon making any transmission. At this point I'm quite convinced that it's some sort of game bug, so it would be nice if one of the devs could take a look into this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
