I recently bought a Scarlett 2i2 sound card so I could record using audio using an XLR mic. The mic works in windows 10, also works fine in discord and all other apps but doesn't work in both Origin and Apex even though it does detect the sound card.I've tried all the options already mentioned online:- checking windows microphone privacy settings- closing discord before starting the game- repairing the game- setting the default input to the sound card in the sound manager- setting the input device in OriginNone of these solutions work. The game just doesn't want to recognize my input :SHow can I fix this?

I built a completely new PC this week and the issue still persists. How can this be possible?

Anyone have an update on this? I also just got an Scarlett 2i2 and now apex wont see any of my mics... wth??

@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.

Game can't find my mic input signal

2 Weeks in and still no fix for this issue. I've given up on trying to talk to my teammates at this point and only talk with my friends on Discord where the mic is working. Maybe this will be addressed in a patch 2 years from now..

I've been having the same issue since forever.
I can talk with my friends just fine over Hangouts and through CoD's voice chat for example, but this game refuses to acknowledge my microphone (AT2020 through Scarlett 2i4 via XLR)

I've tried EVERY suggestions on how to fix and still nothing.

Now with cross-play out, it's even more infuriating that I STILL can't talk with my team.

EA is absolute trash.

So the problem is still here in 2021. I use a different USB Audio Interface (SPL Crimson 3) and have the same problem with Apex Legends and only in Apex Legends. My XLR Mic and MMX 300 is not working with Open Mic or Push to Talk. There must be a Problem within the Game. Can someone send a Bugreport to the Devs please? There must be a solution for this.

2025... Problem still exists. Ea is just trash company. I have done everything. As another guy said, got a new computer still had the problem. I almost think Apex at some point decides you no longer have coms access. I have found no solid fix on internet so if you reading this give up and stop wasting your time on this stupid game.
