Red Mic Icon is Always Red

[Goofeyfoot]

I get my VR mic and everything going first.  Then I turn on Vaicom.  That red mic light in the right corner is always on.  All the Windows settings are set correctly for sound and work fine. Mic is working fine otherwise except in Vaicom.

 

Is there a way to fix this?

Try setting it as your default mic.

Go into Voiceattack settings (the spanner) and on the Recognition tab check that your Windows speech recording device is set to your VR mic and on the Audio tab you can also try setting the Override default recording device to your VR headset

And if this doesn't work. You need to check which microphone is set up in MS Speech through the control panel.
Hope you get it fixed!
Cheers!

I had this issue earlier in the week.  Turned out to be an Oculus issue.  Not sure the technical reasons, but VA just wouldn't recognize my mic and had the red mic symbol ...

 

I went into windows sound devices and disabled the oculus and rift mic input. 

 

Poof, VA working again. 

 

I found this fix on the VA forum BTW.

I think it relates to Oculus updates - the developers are a bit naughty and just change your default input and output devices without asking - has caught me several times (including yesterday)

Yeah, I spent the better part of an hour the other day trying to figure out what changed on my machine.  The mic worked for everything except VA.  Super frustrating.  Thank goodness someone on the VA forums had the same problem and posted the solution.  Not sure I would have thought to disable the oculus inputs w/o that guidance.  +1 for the interwebs!
