Why does my mic not work in CS:GO?

Oh, the classic CS:GO mic conundrum! First up, check if your mic is set as the default recording device in your computer's sound settings. Sometimes, the game just doesn't pick it up if it's not. Also, dive into the CS:GO settings and make sure 'Enable Voice' is set to 'Yes.' Could be as simple as that. If all else fails, restart your game or PC. CS:GO can be finicky like that.

Are you sure it's not your mic? I thought the same until I realized my cat chewed through the cable. Check for external damage or try the mic on another device!

Just unplug it and plug it back in. Works like magic 90% of the time.

Might be a hot take, but check your in-game keybinds. You might've accidentally changed the push-to-talk key and forgot about it. Happens to the best of us.
