Mic cutting in and out in recording

All of my steam recordings have my microphone cutting in and out at random. This seems to be a problem with steam not picking up my voice, however this isnt a problem for me on Discord. Also, I have the sound threshold turned off and the gain on my mic in steam turned up.

Same issue, Works fine through Discord/Windows Mic Test/Steam Mic Test but in Steam Recordings it makes me sound like this: "Th- is wh- I -ound -ike"

Same issue. Even pumping my steam input gain all the way up doesn't fix the issue.

Same issue here with Audeze Maxwell Mic

I still haven't found a solution. Has anyone seen a steam statement or bandaid fix or anything on this?

It sounds like a processing issue. Unoptimised encoding or storage. If it's encoding, your CPU would be highly utilised (by Steam, not game), and if it's storage algorithm, then I/O.

Also, when posting issues like that, adding your OS, CPU, SSD, and mic model would probably be helpful to whoever does the diagnostics on Valve's side.

Also having this issue now that the feature has fully released. Hoping for a fix soon, because otherwise the feature is fantastic.

Same here. Recording from the game AND the external app (vPilot) works fine...

I assumed steam is using the voice settings from the voice tab in the steam setting right under game recording. Turning on the advanced setting, disabling echo cancellation and also disabling the voice transmission threshold solved my mic cutting in and out completely. However now i have to deal with white noise because there is no noise gate.

I really do believe we should be able to control our own noise gate instead of relying on their presets like any other competent voice recording software.

Interesting. I used those same settings and my voice still clips badly in recordings. My mic level is set to 95 in Windows and for Steam voice settings I left it default. You would think turning off the voice transmission threshold alone would fix it.
