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.
