Yeah, i have had the same problem with css, It works with everthing else just not css… Its driving me nuts, i have put +voice_forcemicrecord 0 into the launch options, i have reinstalled css, i have done just about all can be done, but its still not working. Has anyone else got any other ideas?

Once you’ve set it to 0 it should not set back to 1 unless you reinstall TF2. Setting this to 0 should fix your problem. Make sure you edit it without the game loaded at all, then load the game.

Yes, Joe, it was set to 1. I will try it again tomorrow, time grows short for me now. Thanks much for your help! I’ll let you know if it fixes it. Will it possibly change back alone?
Thanks again!

Sandman,
Have you verified your config file doesn’t have voice_forcemicrecord set to 1? This will make your input default to microphone after you open TF2. It can be found in the Steam folder\Steamapps\your account name\team fortress 2\tf\cfg\config.cfg

You will need to set this to 0 and then make sure you have you default input within Windows set to Line 2.

I have the SAME problem, still. Line 2 default, played with directsound in vent, vent NOR TF2 will pick up on mic once I get into game. Vent works fine outside of game. Exclusive uses all unchecked, Line 2 default, newest drivers, etc. no luck here.
