Why do I have so many options for my Headset / Mic?
But none of them seem to work together. If I pick whatever for Output, either it doesn't work or it disable Input from working. And same for vice-versa. Some of them even completely disables the Game's sounds. It's been fine automatically selecting whatever is working so I never had to deal with it but today and on some random days it just completely doesn't work and is a jumbled mess. IDK what to do. All the choices are so confusing and don't make sense to me.
Basically, I just want to hear my teammates and be able to talk to them without either one disabling the other.

It looks like you have multiple input/output options for your headset and other audio devices, which can be confusing. To stabilize your audio settings, try the following steps:
1. Set Default Devices in Windows:
1. Right-click on the sound icon in your taskbar and select
Open Sound settings.
2. Scroll down to Related Settings and click on Sound Control Panel.
3. In the Playback tab, right-click on your preferred headset option (e.g., Headphones (G735 Gaming Headset Stereo)) and select Set as Default Device.
4. In the Recording tab, right-click on your preferred microphone option (e.g., Microphone (G735 Gaming Headset)) and select Set as Default Device.
2. Adjusting in VALORANT:
1. Open VALORANT and go to Settings -> Audio -> Voice Chat.
2. Set the Output Device to align with your default playback device (e.g., Speakers (Logitech G735 Gaming Headset)).
3. Set the Input Device to your default recording device (e.g., Microphone (Logitech G735 Gaming Headset)).
3. Check for Conflicts:
- Ensure your headset software (e.g., Logitech G Hub) isn't causing conflicts. Try disabling any enhancements or features that might alter audio routing.
By standardizing these settings, you should experience more consistent audio performance in VALORANT.

Thats another can of worms. Somehow my browser blocked it? Its sending me to a help desk
you use discord browser?
can you right click your sound icon
and click on sound option
make sure this pop out
but first to ensure if your mic is working, go to windows settings and look up microphone
test it there
okay ive just been randomly clicking what i think make sense and somehow something worked and its now working but its soo annoying cuz i already know this is gonna randomly stop working again at some point and ill have no idea what changed
go to recording
all u need to do is to make sure your output and input sounds ingame is the same as your windows input and output sounds
then everything should be fine
Fml im getting so frustrated. I did what u said setting my ingame settings the same as windows input and output but its still not working
