Hello,
So I got back to R6 after couple of months and the game doesn't seem to detect my mic at all unless I am in squad with someone, in that case it works just fine and everyone can hear me (not only the poeple in my squad but literally everyone in my team).
I really haven't got a clue as to how to fix this issue, I am not playing in squad that often so it's really annoying that I can't communicate with my team most of the time.
Anyone who experienced this issue and knows how to fix it?
Thanks

Hello SquareFinger, thanks for posting and welcome to the Siege forums.

To help troubleshoot this microphone problems you are experiencing in the game when you are not in a full squad, could you try running through each of the following steps to help us identify what the cause may be -

1. First of all can you try lowering the games 'Voice Chat Record Threshold' in the games audio settings to zero, this should allow the mic to be picked up with the slightest sound.

2. Next try changing the audio settings in game from push to talk to open and experiment with the two.

3. Could you next try changing the display options in game to run in borderless window and then full screen mode and see if this makes a difference.

4. Next, can you please make sure you have the correct device set up in Windows and in the games settings to pick up sound - some motherboards use separate audio channels for a device depending on if you have your headphones/mic plugged into the front of your PC or back of your PC.

5. Next, please follow every troubleshooting step in our support article here to make sure you have not missed any steps - https://support.ubisoft.com/en-GB/Article/000060669

Please note, depending on what country or what server you are connected to, this can also restrict you voice chat use in game.

Please let me know how you get on after trying the above steps.
