Guys, please help me out I am losing my mind about this. This issue has been going on for a year now.
I have a Valve Index and 2 other friends that also have Indexes and we all play Pavlov, but for some reason my mic does not work in-game. It used to, but for a long while now my mic just doesn't work in-game. I know for a fact that the issue is not anything hardware-related because not only can my friends can hear my Index mic on Discord, in the settings of Pavlov I can see that my mic is being detected and the little progress bar jumps around to the sound of my voice. It's only when we are in the lobby or in game that nobody can hear me sparing some random short bursts where my voice transmits for a fraction of a second in-game for no reason.
Yes I selected my Index mic in the settings of both Pavlov & Steam instead of "Default Device", I set the Index mic as the default communications device, I am using the same audio settings (Ultra settings) as my friends, the volume of the mic in Windows is set to 100, and Pavlov & Steam have permission to use my mic in the Privacy settings of Windows. I'm certain that the problem is within Pavlov at this point. What the fuck do I do. Please for the love of God help
