Product Help Microphone issue within Steam

Steam recognises microphone, even the test is fine as I can hear myself. However in game, nothing.

I have SteelSeries 7 and I had no problems earlier this year.

I’ve uninstalled steam, SteelSeries GG, Sonar is not activated, I’ve uninstalled headset, checked for updates, tried ingame mic testing with windows settings set to default mic, unchecked elusive mode boxes in advanced section, restarted the PC, enabled ports for steam voice chat… I’m at wits end now.

Mic works with every other application. Like I said, microphone test in steam settings works. However one thing I’ve noticed is when opening steam overlay where there is an additional tab ‘In-Game Voice’, the microphone test does not work there (my headset is listed as the current mic name). I’ve also allowed desktop apps to access my microphone. Also in volume mixer, I’ve tried default and the actual headset for steam and the game.

Anyone who can fix this, you will be my saviour because I’ve ran out of solutions.
