Voice Chat Mic setup Wont test

[IvanK]

Trying to run Voice Chat (Win11). I do not get any response when I try to test my mic. The Mic tests fine in Win11 and discord but nothing in DCS Voice Chat Mic test . Any ideas ?

Running Sound output and Mic through 5.1 headphones attached to ASUS Xonar sound card. Mic sampling rate tried at 44100hz. Have also tried setting Microphone to (Xonar Sound card) as well.

Still struggling to get the Mic working , works fin in WIN11 and other Apps just not DCS.

Options LUA looks like this not sure if the microphone_use,voice_chat_input or voice_chat_output strings are reasonable ?

["sound"] = {
        ["FakeAfterburner"] = false,
        ["GBreathEffect"] = true,
        ["cockpit"] = 100,
        ["gui"] = 100,
        ["headphones"] = 100,
        ["headphones_on_external_views"] = true,

Save yourself the headache and install SRS.

DCS VOIP has been broken since release in one way or another.  

Has never worked properly for me.  Amazing that SRS, created and maintained by a single individual, simply "works" and ED can't or won't fix theirs.

Waste of ED dev talent as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, those values look fine, by the looks of it those are device identifiers. Just spitballing, could you reinstall the drivers of the sound card? The issue could be on the relation DCS <-> Sound card drivers
