    Step-by-Step Solution for Microphone Not Working with Race Engineer

     Verify Microphone Hardware
    1. Test your microphone on microphone test to confirm it's working properly
    2. Try a different microphone if possible to isolate hardware issues
    3. Check physical connections (cables, USB ports, Bluetooth connections)

    Check Game-Specific Settings
    1. Open your racing simulation/game settings
    2. Navigate to audio/communication options
    3. Ensure:
       - Microphone is enabled for voice chat
       - Correct input device is selected
       - Voice activation or push-to-talk is properly configured

    Windows Privacy Settings
    1. Go to Windows Settings > Privacy > Microphone
    2. Ensure "Allow apps to access your microphone" is turned ON
    3. Check that your racing game is listed and allowed to use the microphone
    4. Scroll down and enable "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone"

     Update Audio Drivers
    1. Press Windows+X > Device Manager
    2. Expand "Audio inputs and outputs"
    3. Right-click your microphone > Update driver
    4. Select "Search automatically for updated driver software"
    5. Restart your computer after updating

    I have done everything here, even verified my microphone hardware, and still doesn't work.
    Also, there is no such thing as racing simulation/game settings in F1 25.
