Windows 10, Turtlebeach Z60
This had been working fine up till around six months ago, then I stopped playing for a while. Since I started playing again the mic does not work in game. I have changed nothing on my system. When I press the PTT key the mic symbol appears on the screen but nobody can hear me speak.
The mic is the only mic on my system
The mic is the default device
The mic is allowed to be accessed in windows privacy settings
the mic works in Steam chat settings when I press the test mic button
The mic works in Steam when I have a voice chat with friends
The mic works in every other application including games, TS3, windows voice recording, Windows Cortana
Windows updates up to date
There is no driver for the device, it operates through the generic windows 10 usb driver
I managed to get it working a couple of time doing the following
Uninstall device in device manager
Reboot windows
Play DayZ
But that only lasted until I exited DayZ, and the procedure only worked a couple of times, and now I cannot get it to work no matter how many times I go through that procedure.
Having no voice comms in DayZ is ruining the whole game experience for me. I cannot take part in RP and when I meet people in game I have to just start fighting because I can't talk to them to show my intentions are friendly.
