1. Check the sound settings in Content Warning

If the voice chat in Content Warning hasn’t been working since you first started the game, it’s possible that the in-game sound settings are incorrect. To make sure that the voice settings in Content Warning are all correct:

1. Launch Content Warning, then select OPTIONS.
   
2. Go to AUDIO, then select the microphone that you’re using (which is usually your Realtek audio card).
   
3. Then change the Voice Detection mode to Voice Detection. (If Voice Detection doesn’t work, try Push to Talk instead to see if the voice chat works.)
   
4. Then make sure the Master Volume and Voice Volume are set to max.
   

When the above setting changes are made, try to launch Content Warning again to see if the voice chat works properly. If the problem remains, please move on.

2. Make sure the computer sound settings are all correct

When the sound settings in Content Warning are checked out, but the voice chat still refuses to work right, you should check your computer sound settings to ensure that they’re set up right as well. To do so:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key and the I key at the same time to open Settings. Select System > Sound.
   
2. Scroll down a bit to select Volume mixer.
   
3. Make sure the Output device and Input device are both set up correctly. Then make sure that the output and input devices for your Steam program are both set to Default.
   

Then try to launch Content Warning via Steam again to see if the voice chat works properly. If the problem remains, please move on.

3. Verify the game file integrity

Another common reason for game glitches like voice chat or microphone not working is corrupted or missing game files. To fix this, you can try to verify the game file integrity within Steam. Plus it also usually updates your game to the latest version. To see if this does wonders for you:

1. Launch Steam.
2. In the LIBRARY, right-click Content Warning and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
   
   
3. Select the Installed Files tab and click on the Verified integrity of game files button.
   
   
4. Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.

When the verification is done, launch Content Warning again to see if the voice chat or microphone works now. If this doesn’t help, please move on.

4. Disable possible conflicting software programs

If you have third-party programs, like video recording, streaming, browsers, etc, running in the background that use the sound card resources, it’s possible that they’ll create conflicts between the microphone in Content Warning, and render it useless. So before you start gaming, make sure to close all unneeded applications as follows:

1. Right-click the Windows taskbar and select Task Manager.
   
2. Select each possible suspecious application and click End Task to close them one by one.
   

Then run Content Warning again and see if the voice chat not working issue is fixed. If the problem remains, please move on to the next fix below.

5. Update sound card driver

An outdated or incorrect sound card driver could also be the culprit to your Content Warning voice chat not working problem, so if the above methods don’t help to restore the microphone in Content Warning, it’s likely that you have a corrupted or outdated sound card driver. So you should update your drivers to see if it helps.

If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):

   Note: You can do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.
4. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

Launch Content Warning again and see if the latest sound card driver helps to fix the voice chat not working issue. If this fix doesn’t work for you, try the next fix, below.

6. Repair system files

If you are facing persistent issues and none of the previous solutions have proven effective, it’s possible that your corrupted system files are to blame. To rectify this, repairing the system files becomes crucial. The System File Checker (SFC) tool can assist you in this process. By executing the “sfc /scannow” command, you can initiate a scan that identifies problems and repairs missing or corrupted system files. However, it is important to note that the SFC tool primarily focuses on scanning major files and may overlook minor issues.

In situations where the SFC tool falls short, a more powerful and specialized Windows repair tool is recommended. Fortect is an automated Windows repair tool that excels in identifying problematic files and replacing malfunctioning ones. By scanning your PC comprehensively, Fortect can provide a more comprehensive and effective solution for repairing your Windows system.

1. Download and install Fortect.
2. Open Fortect. It will run a free scan of your PC and give you a detailed report of your PC status.
   
3. Once finished, you’ll see a report showing all the issues. To fix all the issues automatically, click Start Repair (You’ll need to purchase the full version. It comes with a 60-day Money-Back Guarantee so you can refund anytime if Fortect doesn’t fix your problem).
