11 months ago Hi just to clarify the original poster now "ghost" was me using a now-removed account.
The link to the download dot point in the original post changed.
Corrected...

I believe some official folder/files have been omitted in past updates in at least 3 Source-1-games.
The problem: The missing files cause a small issue in failing to display the microphone test panel image.
The games affected: Counter-Strike: Source – Day of Defeat:Source – Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. There may be more games, but one interesting item is this doesn't affect TF2, the images are there.
I have identified a fix. The missing images are two VTF files called mic_meter_dead.vtf and mic_meter_live.vtf The missing images and folder set are in the games "platform" folder e.g. steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\platform**materials\vgui\resource steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Source\platform\materials\vgui\resource steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\platform\materials\vgui\resource**
Team Fortress 2 does not have this problem, nor does it have the folders and files I offer in the below fix.
Folders and files added to fix this... Missing folders - materials\vgui\resource Files under the resource folder - mic_meter_dead.vtf and mic_meter_live.vtf
I have a community guide (dod:s guide) that offers a fix but really the fix should be here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3007890825

Not sure what is wrong with the official files, but I do know that fix works on the games listed.
Also would be the same for Mac and Linux I would say.
The fix does work...
