I purchased my new Gaming machine in February and everything was working great. Something with my microphone happened between June 28 and July 1 as the last time my mic worked (in game) was on June 28th. I had no issue prior to this date and then all of a sudden it stopped working. My mic works on every other application and game I play. I've tried all the basic tests and troubleshooting steps out there on the web but nothing seems to fix. I've tried the following:
Uninstalling / Reinstalling DayZ
Updating drivers
Validating DayZ Files through Steam
Default Microphone and Sound Setting checks
Disabled Virus Protection & Firewall
and more
Anyone who plays DayZ can certainly understand that no mic means instant death. I came from Xbox, which I was used to this type of game play. I switched to PC as it was a better gaming and community experience as whole. In fact, the first week of playing on PC I had more interactions that lasted more than 30 seconds than I ever did on Xbox for 3 years. I was really enjoying the game, until now.
I hope someone has found a fix to this issue.
Sincerely,
DayZ Addict
