Choicer Voicer Microphone Not Working

Start with the free compatibility test

The official itch.io page provides a No Gameplay Demo for Windows and Linux. Its purpose is to test the microphone and pack editor, not to provide playable game modes.

1. Download the correct platform buildWindows users need the Windows file. A Linux x86_64 file will not launch as a Windows program.
2. Connect the microphone before launchClose the game, connect the intended device, then reopen the test build.
3. Select one direct input and outputAvoid virtual surround, chat, broadcast, or monitor channels for the first test.
4. Test live monitoring and recorded playbackTreat them as two separate checks. Hearing live input does not prove that the recorded path works.

Identify the exact failure

Reset the audio route

1. Close voice and recording applicationsExit tools that may hold the microphone or install virtual audio channels.
2. Choose the physical microphone in system settingsConfirm that the operating system meter responds before opening the game.
3. Choose a plain stereo outputFor diagnosis, bypass surround, spatial audio, headset chat channels, and broadcast mixes.
4. Restart after every device changeThe game may not rebuild its audio route while it is already running.
5. Record a short test and play it backKeep the test simple until both paths work. Add processing one item at a time afterward.

Live mic works, recording is silent

This is not proof that you configured the game incorrectly. The official page calls microphone recording a known issue that can make the game unplayable for affected setups.

• Repeat the test with a direct hardware input instead of a virtual or surround channel.
• Repeat playback through a different direct output.
• Restart the game after selecting each device.
• Keep notes on which combination shows a meter, records data, and plays sound.
• Do not buy extra software or hardware based on an unverified comment.

When to stop

If the official free test still cannot record and play back through a simple physical route, do not assume the paid build will fix it. Check the latest developer notes and comments for a confirmed update. If you already purchased through itch.io and the game is unusable, use itch.io's support and refund process.
