My mic is working and not muted, it works fine in every other game I play, but doesn't seem to work with arma 3. How do I test it in game? I was in a populated server and trying to speak with people in my squad or whatever the term is in arma 3, I could hear them, but when I spoke no one would respond. My name lights up in the lower left hand corner when I try to speak but I don't think they can hear me. I tried in a few different servers.. no luck.
I also checked in steam settings and it seems to be working fine according to steam.

How do you set up your microphone in arma3? I can't see any option to select which mic to use or test it. When I go on multiplayer I hit caps lock and it says I'm broadcasting but no one responds when I say mic check. I disabled all other inputs except my microphone (a microsoft lifecam usb webcam with built in mic).
Bottom left on your task bar on desktop. Right click on the sound icon and click recording device.
Find which one goes to your mic and make sure it is activated and working (right click, test).
Make sure you mic isn't muted.
Make sure you playing with English speaking people.
Get a real mic

Global chat - never use it, unless your typing to the other team(s)
