Hello Broken.Kinas, thanks for contacting us about your mic issues.

Would you be able to send us the link to the support article you used so I know exactly what troubleshooting you have tried?

I have various fixes you can try but I will start by suggesting the following -

- Try toggling your settings between open mic and push to talk and testing this option - Go to 'Options' in the game and go to 'Voice Chat Record Mode', then change 'Push To Talk' to 'Open'
- Try running the game in Borderless Window mode
- Have you recently updated your audio devices drivers?
- Have you checked what microphone the game is trying to use? Do you have a camera with a microphone that the game maybe using by mistake?
- Are you running any software in the background? Please disable all non-Microsoft programs except for you game and launcher through Task Manager. Please check your taskbar on the far right, to see if any programs are running also and disable.

Try these steps to check -

- Launch your game
- Right click on the Volume/Sound speaker icon in your Taskbar and select Open Sound Settings
- Scroll all the way down to the bottom until you hit the Advanced Sound Options and select App Volume Device Preferences.
- View the 'Output and Input' options, your game should appear in the list of Applications here.
- Under the dropdown column for Siege, select which Audio Device you'd like to the input and output the game's audio to, for your headset, speakers and microphone and any other devices you may have connected.

Let me know after you have explored these options and tested the game what your results were?

It is also worth asking have you been able to use your Mic previously in Siege? Some countries have mic bans where your ISP will block you for using this feature. This usually affects players in the middle eastern region though it is best to reach out to your ISP to check this.
