Issue with Voice Chat OW2
I am having a peculiar issue with OW2 [Overwatch 2] (Steam install version) where the voice communiication channels aren't working. The rest of the audio works absolutely fine, but my mic isn't going through (neither in push to talk nor open mic), and I can see people talking as the icons in the top left but can't hear them. As stated earlier, all other audio works fine.
This bug happens on windows when an app doesn't have microphone permissions, so I'm guessing it's the same or similar issue in OW2 on Linux, but I am not aware of how to give a proton app through steam microphone permissions or adjust the mic it is trying to use. I have confirmed neither my webcam nor my dedicated microphone are working. I do not use bluetooth with any of my hardware so I know that can't be the issue either.
If anyone has any ideas or fixes I would greatly appreciate it. Not hearing people isn't the end of the world but I would prefer to fix this and know how to fix this should it come up in other games in the future!
