Microphone Volume Issue #2437

Closed Mastro12345 closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug For the past 9-12 months I have been facing this issue where if I raise my voice whilst on the server, microphone volume auto-adjusts from 100 to 95, 80 etc, depends on how much I 'shout'. It makes it impossible for others to hear me, and I have to manually increase it everytime just for it to go down again. This was not a thing about a year++ ago. Be aware that it happens only on Highlife, I have tested it on other servers and never had this issue.

I have tried many things, such unchecking ''Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device'', unchecking ''Enable audio enhancements'' etc from microphone properties. And other things that I found on google. Nothing has seemed to work at all.

Recently I figured out what is causing it and how to fix it, but it's a temporary solution and Ι have to repeat the same steps whenever connecting to the server. Basically, when joining Highlife those two processes are active:

Screenshot_1

As you can see, FiveM Chromium Subprocess and FiveM Game Subprocess. If both of those are in use, I face this issue of microphone volume adjustment. When FiveM Chromium Subprocess however becomes inactive, it stays solid and does not adjust, regardless of how much I raise my voice etc. A way to disable it is by going to microphone properties and changing sample rates, or disabling/enabling audio enhancements. This leads to that certain subprocess shutting down completely, hence not causing any problems.

*On other servers Chromium Subprocess is not being used at all.

Additional context I want to mention that this does not happen to everyone obviously, only to a few people from the looks of it. I have a friend of mine who has the same issue, different headphones, different hardware etc. Mine is USB connected, his is 3.5mm.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Log into the server
  2. Raise your voice
  3. See microphone volume adjusting itself, making it impossible for others to hear you

Thanks.

Can confirm, I've tried few weeks back myself to fix the exact same issue. I ended up using VoiceMeeter to actually set the volume, game still tries to adjust it but VoiceMeeter somehow overrides it.

Same here, every time I join HL servers have the same problem witch makes my microphone volume jump up and down. I did change audio drivers and did delete cache many times with no solution. Temporary solution is that every time I join server is to go to Microphone Properties in Windows and to change sample rate and bit depth to something else while I am in server. That locks up the volume and can talk normally.

Cannot reproduce, considering a FiveM issue, would advise to open a forum bug report.
