Lethal Company Mic Not Working? Troubleshooting Guide

Having your microphone fail in Lethal Company can be incredibly frustrating, especially when coordinating with your team is crucial for survival. Don't worry, this guide will walk you through common issues and solutions to get your voice heard.

Basic Checks: Before Diving Deep

Let's start with the simple stuff to rule out obvious problems:

• Physical Connection: Ensure your microphone is properly plugged into the correct port on your computer (usually pink for microphones). If using a USB microphone, try a different USB port.
• Mute Button: Double-check that your microphone isn't physically muted on the device itself or on your headset cable.
• Volume Levels: Confirm that your microphone volume isn't set to zero in Windows settings. Right-click the speaker icon in your system tray, select "Open Volume Mixer," and ensure "System Sounds" and "Lethal Company" (if it's running) are at a reasonable level.

In-Game and System Settings: The Core Issues

If the basic checks don't solve the problem, the issue likely lies within your operating system or the game's settings.

Windows Microphone Settings: A Step-by-Step Solution

1. Access Sound Settings: Right-click the speaker icon in your system tray and select "Open Sound settings."
2. Input Device: Under "Input," select your microphone from the dropdown list. If it's not listed, Windows might not be recognizing it. Try updating your audio drivers.
3. Device Properties: Click "Device properties." Ensure the "Disable" box is unchecked. Adjust the "Input volume" slider to around 80%.
4. App Permissions: Click "App volume and device preferences" at the bottom of the Sound settings window. Locate "Lethal Company" and confirm that the "Input" is set to your microphone. Also, ensure Lethal Company has permission to access your microphone in your Windows privacy settings (Search for "Microphone privacy settings").

Lethal Company Settings: Final Tweaks

Finally, check the in-game settings:

• Voice Chat Enabled: In Lethal Company's settings menu, make sure "Voice Chat" is enabled.
• Input Device: Verify that the correct microphone is selected as the input device within the game.
• Push-to-Talk: If you're using push-to-talk, ensure the assigned key is comfortable and functioning correctly. Try rebinding it to a different key.

By systematically checking these areas, you should be able to pinpoint the cause of your microphone issues and get back to scavenging with your crew!
