I still can’t believe this is being an issue, but my SC2 says it’s using the microphone. How do we disable this? I’ve found thread after thread going back 5+ years, and no one has posted anything that works yet.
Can we just like, remove that from SC2 at this point? Devs? Devs? Anyone?
I just installed the game again after years and the issue still here !!!
WHY SC2 is using my microphone !?
For the love of god can we have a simple patch to disable input audio on sound menu?
still there in August 2025. Let us disable the microphone!!
I’m having the same issue. My speakers work fine but as soon as I stick in my earbuds the sound gets distorted. I have tried the following:
Disabling any and all voice on starcraft 2, in the game options and pregame options.
Disabling input devices on my entire system.
switching away to another input device.
Utilizing my processor’s built in noise cancelation.
EVERYTHING !!!
Nothing gets rid of the distortion and lets me hear the sound, particularly music, properly. What’s worse is it distorts ALL music. That is if I have Spotify going or something in the background THAT will get muted as well until I tab out of sc2.
It’s 2025, soon to be 2026. As pointed out in this thread this problem started in 2018. This is a 7 or 8 year old problem! Blizzard really, you need to fix this! People should be able to game with headphones on and not have to worry about weird sound distortions.
