## Check your microphone deliberately

Check which microphone Windows is using before joining a match.
 Review the game’s current voice preferences and key binding.
 Use a short test with a friend to check that your voice is audible.
 Check whether the selected channel is your team or the whole lobby.
 Prefer push-to-talk in a noisy room and release the key after speaking.
 These are general audio checks, not a measured claim about latency or microphone compatibility.

## Microphone input is different from game output

If game sound is missing, changing a microphone alone may not help. See the audio-output guide for the output-device guidance in patch 1.0.1.4.

## Reporting a problem

Include the installed version, input device, selected voice mode, channel and whether other people can hear you. Do not publish private voice recordings without the participants’ permission.
