I played counter strike back in the early to mid 2000's and decided to pick it back up earlier this year. Found a killer deal on a high end rig locally and immediately installed Steam and downloaded CS GO. I have over 100 hours so far and recently started playing competitive and I am hooked. One problem.....my mic does not work. I have searched the internet for hours and I have tried everything I can think of. I have played with all the sound settings in windows and it doesn't matter what I change, the mic works perfect in Windows test and through the in game test but I get nothing while playing. When I hit the button to chat the icon pops up but it does not pick anything up. Below is a description of my PC and what I have tried
i7 4770k
MSI z87 Mpower Mboard with realtek HD audio
16gb ram
GTX 780 video card
started on windows 8.1 but I am currently running windows 10 The switch to windows 10 was an attempt to fix the mic issues.
I have tried three different headsets, Skullcandy Playr1 wireless, Logitech G35 wired and the 3.5 earbud/mic that comes with the PS4
I am at a loss! I bought this PC strictly to play CS GO and bought another headset, a new operating system and nothing seems to work. I have tried adding/editing a number of items in the cfg.config file and nothing fixes it. My next option is to try and buy a seperate sound card assuming there is some sort of conflict with the on board audio and steam but I do not want to keep throwing money at the problem as that has not worked so far.
I have come across a number of posts on different forums with similar problems but never a solution.
Playing competitive without a mic is frustrating.....PLEASE HELP!
