Why isn’t my mic working in CS:GO?

A quick fix that works for me: open the console in CS:GO and type 'voice_enable 1' and 'voice_scale 1'. This ensures voice chat is enabled and the volume is up. Works like a charm!

Make sure Steam has permission to access your microphone, especially if you're on Mac. System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab. Scroll down to Microphone and check the box next to Steam!

Firstly, check if your mic is properly plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. Next, dive into the sound settings in CS:GO to ensure your mic is selected as the default device. Also, peek into your computer's sound settings to see if the mic is enabled and not muted. Sometimes, restarting CS:GO or your PC can magically fix the issue!

Gonna sound weird, but double-check you’re not pressing the push-to-talk key. Been there, done that, and spent hours troubleshooting only to find out I was the problem. 😂

It's a sign to upgrade your mic. Seriously, half the time it's just a bad mic causing the trouble.
