Microphone stops working after updating Nvidia graphics drivers
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

When I first started playing DayZ, I had no issue with my mic working but then when I update my Nvidia graphics driver to the latest version, my mic stops working in game. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the game by cleaning up all files left over after uninstalling the game. I have tried changing to a different mic but nothing has worked. The only thing I've been able to do is reinstall Windows then install my graphics driver first then install DayZ. Then my mic works again. I shouldn't have to reinstall Windows to have a working mic in DayZ.

I wanted to add that after some research it is possible that the Razer Cortex program causes the issue instead of the graphics driver being updated. I have reinstalled Windows and did not install Razer Cortex so we'll see if this happens again.
