Last updated
Having trouble with your microphone not working while playing Fortnite? You’re definitely not alone! Let’s dive into why this might be happening and how you can get back to coordinating with your squad in no time.
So, why is your mic not working specifically when you’re trying to play Fortnite? Let’s figure it out together.
Short and Sweet: Fixing Your Mic Issues
First things first, check your microphone settings both in-game and on your device. Fortnite has its own audio settings separate from your computer or console’s system settings. Make sure your mic is set as the default device in both spots.
Another common culprit is outdated or corrupted drivers, especially on PC. Ensure your audio drivers are up to date, and consider reinstalling them if you’ve been facing persistent issues.
