Having trouble with my microphone after an update.

[Locksmith]

So i recently updated my laptop, now for some reason my microphone that its normally set to, is not connecting to Gmod correctly, i know its working however, as i can hear myself when in steam settings for microphone, however when i attempt to use it ingame, it refuses to work and creates no sound from my microphone. The steam userface has also updated since i last had problems with my microphone, which means i no longer know how to connect it properly.

Is it an internal or external mic? What are the respective brands?

This is a common problem, more so when people are changing mics. After updating your system, it might've untoggled your microphone and set it to a default setting.

Just go onto your system settings -> sound and then scroll until you find the input setting - should look something like this:

Then obviously select your microphone.

Hope that helps

This has worked and my microphone now works as it used to, however now there is a new issue, it has a static backdrop that is much louder then before, im going to go ingame and see how well people can understand me and see if changes need to be made.

Do you use an additional things, such as a pre-amp or something for your microphone? There should be additional settings if so. You do have options within GMOD to edit your audio settings. Not really sure as to why you would have such a drastic difference unless the mic itself is damaged in some capacity.

Have you changed the windows settings of your microphone? i.e raised the decibels or input %

Changing it in Steam settings may of helped, people don't seem to notice a difference ingame, thanks for the quick replys though.
