Question / Help mic not recording with latest obs version

hi i used obs quite a lot in early - mid 2015 . i record dayz gameplay on pc, and previously had no problems with recording mic.

now i use obs 0.657b and my mic is not recorded in the videos. my in game chat is not recorded, my teamspeak chat is not recorded.

my mic obviously is working, both on teamspeak, and in game, i have checked that.

so i go to obs settings and select my mic, ( i choose the correct selection 'MICROPHONE (realtek high defenition audio)'.
i use 2 hotkeys which are mouse 5 and caps lock.

i can see that obs is not picking up the audio in the mic level meter when i try doing a preview, and when i do a record test there is no audio.

i saw a couple of other posts about this when i googled it but no solution, so if noone has solution, can someone tell me what version i should go back to? where can i get stable version from early 2015, and what was it called? thanks very much.

vlc, although i just tested with wmp, and got teh same results.

like i said, i can see the obs is not picking up the mic, in the mic level meter when i preview. and vlc always worked before, i dont think its a media player issue, but thanks for that reply.

would uncheck and recheck the pushto talk button in the upper left of settings then reselect your hotkeys. ensure that the audio threshhold isn't set to high or disabled as well

thanks for the reply dping. i have now got it working, by disabling noise gate option. noise gate was on, with settings of closed -49db, open 0db.

so anyone with this problem reading this, i solved my issue, by unchecking enable noise gate.

do this by going to settings - microphone noise gate - then uncheck 'enable noise gate' .

thanks all.
