Condenser Mic on Steam

[Zeine]

Hello forum users. I have a question. choose files... Click to choose files I use the Audio Technica AT2020 XLR cardioid condenser microphone. My Preamp is the PreSonus AudioBox USB Black. My mic works just fine for every other program I use. My mic is set as my default device and default comms device. I also have the volume on it at 100% plus a 20dB gain to make the mic louder for Discord and such. Windows has the little volume meter when looking at recording devices. I can listen to my mic and it sounds great, but the meter isnt budging. Steam refuses to use the mic as well. It detects that I am using the mic, but it does not play any sound when I test it. Their meter doesnt light up at all. I have reinstalled all my drivers. Im on the same setup as it was on my previous computer. It is set up the exact same but still no audio in steam. My preamp software (Universal Control) is set to 48 kHz. Windows is set to 48kHz as well. What is the issue here? Im doing all of it right.

If you’re talking about the steam voice calls, then yeah... that doesn’t really work and sounds REALLY bad when it does work. 

 

Just use discord or teamspeak or something. As for in game chats I think it depends on the game.
