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!

Your sound server controls the mic input. Just check it in sour sound settings before you launch and make sure it's catching your voice. If that still doesn't work, install 'pavucontrol' which is a bit more expensive. That should help you out.
