The microphone in the game does not work [SoundSystem] SDL Device Capture Audio Stream Failed To Open: Invalid audio device instance ID

[Bilboster]

For some reason the client does not respond to any microphone.

There are 2 microphones - stationary and with webcam.
In the settings both microphones are displayed, but they do not react in any way.
In all other applications microphones are active, there are no restrictions in the system, in steam itself works. Drivers are up to date.
Earlier the microphone reacted and I could use it, after some update stopped responding completely.
Tried to turn on/off devices after starting the client - without success. In the client itself the volume bar is always at maximum.
Attached are the logs when opening the console. I noticed the following lines:
[SoundSystem] SDL Device Capture Audio Stream Failed To Open: Invalid audio device instance ID

I do not know what to do. Is there anyone else who has met with such a problem?

Found a solution. You need to set the same frequency (44100Hz) in the properties of the speakers and microphone in the Windows settings. (At least it helped me)


But the reason for the sound settings reset remains unknown.

Unfortunately it didn't help me.
After the changes, I restarted the computer.

later I turned off the exclusive mode in all devices - it didn't help either

I tried uninstalling the driver in Windows and installing it again, after that I put the driver from the manufacturer. It didn't help either. But after all this the microphone worked in Dota 2

Reinstalling the game or checking files does not help with the problem. Tried to override the microphone with the console - no help. Tried to find a mention in userdata of steam itself - no luck.

I tried to connect the headset (new device) - exactly the same behavior.
