Bodycam Microphone/Voice Chat Not Working Issue: Is there any fix yet
As of writing this guide, there is no official fix for the microphone and voice chat issues in “Bodycam”. However, there are some potential workarounds that players have shared, which might help resolve the problem. We have gone through these suggestions to help you get your microphone working.
Restart the Game
First things first, one of the simplest solutions is to restart the game. Sometimes, a fresh start can resolve minor glitches and connectivity issues. So, just close Bodycam completely and clear it from the task manager as well. After a few moments, reopen the game and see if this has reset the game’s audio settings. This may fix the microphone and voice chat issues.
Select the right Audio Device
One potential workaround is to make sure that your default audio device and microphone are set correctly. To do this, right-click the sound icon in the taskbar, select “Open Sound settings”, and check that your headset is set as the default output device and your microphone as the default input device.
Update Audio Drivers
Outdated audio drivers can cause various issues, including problems with your microphone. So, do the Device Manager, and find the audio device in use under “Sound, video and game controllers”. Now, right-click it and select “Update driver”. Follow the prompts to update the drivers, which can improve compatibility.
Check the Mic with Other Games
To rule out any hardware issues with your microphone, test it with other games or applications. Open a different game that uses voice chat or use a communication app like Discord. If the microphone works in other applications but not in Bodycam, the issue is likely with the game’s settings or compatibility.
Check for Updates
Also, make sure that both your operating system and Bodycam are fully updated. Developers often release patches and updates to fix known issues. Check for updates on Steam and install any available updates for the game. Also, make sure your operating system is up-to-date to avoid any compatibility issues.
Verify Game Files
Corrupted or missing game files can cause various problems, including microphone issues. Verify the integrity of your game files through your game launcher. In Steam, right-click “Bodycam” in your library, select “Properties”, go to the “Installed Files” tab, and click “Verify Integrity of Game Files.”
Well, with this, we hope that your doubts on this matter have been cleared. Now, for all your other gaming-related queries, make sure to visit DigiStatement regularly. Read more: Bodycam: How to disable Motion Blur
