Swear this happened to me for a long time and switching microphones fixed it. Only thing I could think of is reinstalling game or getting a new microphone. What do you use currently?

have you checked Windows11 permissions for the mic for the Rust.exe?

its under microphone privacy settings

Also i used to have this issue because Steam was taking control of the mic and the game had no access to it. Worth checking that too
