Microphone not working

I am hoping others can help me as I can only seem to find this issue with people who have Stadia controllers.

I was recently playing the Division 2 online with a friend and I was unable to hear him but he could hear me. I use a hard wired Xbox controller and had my headset connected via Bluetooth to my PC. Then I decided to hardwire my headset to the PC audio jack and he was able to hear me for about an hour then my audio cut and he was no longer able to hear anything I said. I went into the audio settings menu and since it was minimal there isn't anything allowing you to switch audio output. Any advice?

Windows and audio devices are a whole crappy topic... Especially wireless devices are issue prone there...
If it was working initially I guess it has nothing to do with stadia...

I guess Stadia uses the default communication device if you are playing in a browser.
What you could try is opening the windows audio device settings and deactivate and activate your device.
And make sure that the "Use as default communication device is checked" (Though I am not sure if it is called like this in english as my windows is german...)

  • System Control -> Sound -> Recording (Tab)
  • Right click in the list -> "Show deactivated Devices"
  • Then check what device has a checkmark...
  • Try to say something (Is the device reaction bar on the right reacting to it?)
    • If yes... it should work if chrome has the right to use your microphone
    • If not... Is another device reacting to your talking?
      • If yes... Right click on that one and click "Use as default device" & "Use as default communication device"
      • If not... Are there other devices deactivated?
        • If yes... Activate them and see if they are reacting
        • If not... I have no idea :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: (Maybe try to completly close chrome (also from system tray) and restart it)

Otherwise chrome has a setting where you can tell it which mic to use but if you never touched this it should work as the "Default device" should be used there

Mine was not working but turned out Google chrome browser was blocking access to the mic. I was clicking on everything but nothing was working trying with Xbox controller settings, PUBG settings and Stadia settings, then saw on the google Chrome browser the mic was actually being blocked.

This happens to me way too often, chrome or "stadia" need a dedicated input controller I think, sometime in-between games my mic will just not work,
