All other devices have been deactivated on W10, Steam audio settings synced to correct input. Microphone works fine on other programmes (e.g. Windows voice recorder).

Hello jimmy.d.holden.
Are you by any chance disconnecting the microphone or something similar and then reconnecting it?

I have exactly the same issue, it started after I played the game around 70hours without issue. I'm not exactly sure but I think it started after I updated BIOS and installed newest chipset drivers for my motherboard. I'm using external soundcard connected through USB. Sound BlasterX G6, but I also tested connecting microphone to onboard sound without change.

I'm on W11. When I alt+tab to Windows and try recording, microphone is working. I don't have issues in any other app.

I tried everything I found on the internet:

  • disabled all other input devices
  • checked security settings for microphone
  • checked mic in steam
  • disallowing and allowing again exclusive access in recording settings in windows, that worked few times until it didn't.

I'm willing to provide any other info and work with you to find a solution as the game is unplayable for me now.

I just reinstalled Win11 and Arma, still the same error.
