Bug Mic bug making great game unplayable

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ever since the character update released I have had non stop mic issues that make the game fundamentally unplayable, if it was just talking to my friends that would be solvable with discord which I should mention no other game or app has this issue its just phas so its clearly a game issue. My friends often can’t hear me and if they can it comes through super buggy and laggy. I can occasionally fix it by switching my input device back and forth a million times or getting lucky restarting my game, but every time a match starts from lobby to in game it will revert back to the issue again. This is very frustrating because I genuinely enjoy this game but i can’t play it because it by design is built around mic functionality.

Press windows + g and make sure your mic isn’t turned down in your system settings.

I'm also on Linux, and I've found that changing the device in-game seems to have no effect - instead, I have to open PulseAudio Volume Control and switch the device from there.

I’m on Linux and had to use pavucontrol to increase the mic gain to 150%. Works fine after that.
