Community Admin@BennSauna Hi, if you do the mic test in Origin is it detected there? As a bit of a workaround can you try restarting your system then disabling other sound devices as a test, then check Origin/the game again?
Testing the mic in Origin doesn't show any signal, even though the sound card is recognized in Origin. I disabled other devices and restarted but same issue still persists.
- Ok, so I now changed back to my headset's microphone for the time being, but that one is also not detected anymore even though I've set it as the default input device for apex. So now I can't communicate at all with someone in-game.

Thanks for the update. If you try clearing your Origin cache and try restarting again, does anything change?
https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/- I reinstalled origin completely but even that didn’t fix it 😕
I also disabled app exclusivity for the mic, but still doesn’t solve the issue- EA_David
The Origin install doesn't clear the local cache, so it's definitely worth doing that as well as the reinstall.
I'm curious what your Recording Devices section in Windows looks like. You'll find this by right-clicking the volume icon in your system tray and clicking this option.
