I’m using a USB Yeti Microphone, I used to be able to use in-game voice chat before, but not anymore.

I have a yeti as well, so I can try to help.

We’ll start simple: is it set as your default microphone?

Please try this fix:

Game freezes when voice chat is used

Ensure your microphone is set as the default recording device. Check if you have any external microphones hooked up such as Oculus VR headsets, as they have been noted to cause hitching when set to default microphone input.

If that doesn’t help, we suggest you try and change the sampling rate of your microphone in the settings window of your microphone to 2 channel, 16bit, 44100 Hz.

I did have the Yeti set as my default device and the issue persisted. I ended up fixing the issue by uninstalling Meta, which took away Meta Oculus Microphone as a microphone option from devices. I can talk in-game now and it doesn’t freeze anymore when pressing push-to-talk.

Thanks for the help. =)
