Microphone Input Sometimes Does Not Work
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

I am using a Sound BlasterX G6, and am using the Line Input for my microphone. It is the only enabled input device on my PC, but I cannot speak in game. My microphone works in all other applications (discord, teamspeak, video recordings, etc.). I can fix this temporarily by changing the quality settings of the device with the game open, but after a few minutes the problem will return.

Steps To Reproduce
  • Set input device quality to anything above 16-bit 48KHz (It's possible it only happens with sound cards/external DAC's)
  • Try talking in game, but nobody can hear you.
  • Change input device settings (can be any other quality)
  • People can hear you again for a brief period.
Additional Information

I have not yet tried this with just the motherboard audio yet. I will try and update if that works for me.
