I have no green mic when z is pressed and I can't hear anyone.

[@kagome6647]

this guy's face MATCHES the voice after all those videos of me not seeing his face. 😭

[@Mitozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

i have both voips on and cant hear anyone talking to me

[@FilthyXD]

I've always wondered what you looked like. thanks for all the great optimizations/Tips over the years man

[@Smittcmd]

Huge problem for me I tried everything and still can’t hear ppl and seems like they can’t hear me either I don’t know what to do

[@bmwxr9127]

Thanks Great Job

[@vladofrap]

tnx, u saved my life!!!!

[@HourRomanticist]

This was very helpful and frankly I'm embarrassed I didn't know how to do this one... I have probably 4 devices that are recognized as mics so I thought if the game just picked the wrong one I was screwed. Also, it's impressive how many people talk in game because the button to do so is not listed lol

[@alexbaird4380]

Same here 😂

[@GruntCountry]

did literally everything you said and my mic is still not picking up in gray zone. It works in every other voip game and in discord and obs but not gray zone.

[@darkh3lmet82]

is there a way to switch between squad chat and proximity?

[@DeezNoots78]

My Mic icon is permanently red with a slash through it as if it is muted (it is not) so I can’t talk to anyone

[@sevbagle4927]

thx for the help m8!

[@TheStumafoo]

mine just randomly stops working , i see the green icon and works in windows, it works in discord, just game

[@erm0nster]

cheers!

[@smokethatgameb9937]

I get a green icon in the left bottom of the screen 😊

[@masonfrost8728]

I’ve checked windows permissions, steam settings, and game settings. No mic shows up when I hold Z. I can hear others but they cant hear me. When I test my mic in steam settings I can hear myself fine. Using steel series arctic 7 headset. Anyone know what I can do?

[@seijirooda9730]

Same issue

[@smurg_teh_wurgg3540]

It only lets you talk for 15 seconds and then it mutes

[@lcfitness7697]

Followed every step and still not working :/ My mic works in discord, other games, etc. and the little mic icon pops up when i'm holding Z but nobody can hear me..

@ervoswervoschannel yep it worked then randomly just decided to stop

The button is default to Z and is not changeable.....for now

[@deep_reconYT]

[@ErnestoRivera86]

Hey guys, the only way to make this work with the Audient ID14 like this guy and me is IF YOUR MIC IS ON THE FIRST CHANNEL! On the 2nd channel it will never work.

[@kon1351]

Dont forget steam setup also .

[@Ironikfrombe]

Hello, azerty keyboard here so z is basically used for your "w"... screwed xD
