Issues with in game mic not working with certain games. (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone, I'm running Linux mint and I play a couple online multiplayer ghost hunting games: phasmophobia, demonologist mainly. Those games have mechanics where certain items need voice input to work properly so you can "talk to the ghosts". My USB mic is displayed in the game as an input but the game doesn't actually get any input from my mic. I know my mic works because it works in discord while playing those games. Any help would be appreciated!

Does in-game proximity chat work?

These games rely on windows speech detection to interpret words, and hence the gameplay features of stuff like "talking to ghosts" in phasmophobia quetly fail when the game is run on linux.

It's not that the game doesnt detect the audio, it's that game can't then turn the audio into text.

I think there's some way to get it working, but it doesn't function out of the box.

From my experience, phasmo’s proximity chat works in-game, but not in the lobby.
