So, here is the situation. For about 2 weeks of returning back to the game, my mic had no issue. Could talk in game, and change the volume of my mic using the up and down arrows just fine. A few days ago though, it just stopped working. When I go to talk, the icon on the bottome left that indicates your voip is active shows up, but the bars indicating your mic volume is not shown. When I press the up arrow now, it indicates only one bar (but when I go to talk the bar disappears and no one can still hear me) and when I press the down arrow it indicates three bars (disappears the same as before). It almost seems like in game I am muted, and its not just one server, but any server I join.

I never changed any of the in game settings, never changed my mic or even unplugged it. Mic works fine in steam and discord. My mic is set as default device in settings. I tried verifying my game twice, unsubcribed to all mods and even reinstalled DayZ to no avail. Deleted the two .xml files in the "Documents" (per some information i found on a similar, but slightly different issue) and still no change. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
