    Microphone not working

    In coop game does not register my fully functional microphone. Other games no issue. I can hear my friend fine. He does not hear me, the speaker icon indicating sound input via microphone does not flash for me in menus or in game - like game does not see microphone. No change in voce menus influences this, tried it all.

    just a normal standalone microphone that plugs into 3,5mm jack socket - nothing that could cause any issues, it is working fine in all other applications and games. if I alt-tab into another game from running FC5 - again microphone is working. just not in FC5

    Update: Solved/workaround

    I bought the cheapest USB sound card I could find. Using that one instead of my onboard sound solved the issue. My conclosion from this is that this issue is caused by FC5 having some issue detecting plugged in microphone on me onboard soundcard. I.e. this is a problem with the game as every other software I tried is working fine. Also not an issue with headset as i am using a simple 3,5 mm jack standalone microphone.

    Sound issue

    I've been going back and forth with Ubisoft Support for almost 10 days now for a similar issue. I get no sound with my headset (that works with all other games). Maybe our issues are related.

    Mic not working in Co-Op

    I have this same problem. Using a Logitech G430 and my friends can't hear me even though the active mic icon displays on the screen. Tried other games such as Wild-lands and it works just fine. Used to work fine in Far Cry 5 as well until one of the updates.
