This mod requires the following mods to function
BepInEx-BepInExPack
BepInEx pack for Mono Unity games. Preconfigured and ready to use.
Preferred version: 5.4.2100README
MicGate
A noise gate for your microphone, like the input sensitivity setting in Discord. Choose at which volume (in dB) your microphone starts sending, so keyboard clicks, fans and background noise stay out of the voice chat.
This mod only changes your own microphone. Your teammates do not need to install it.
Features
- Send threshold in dB. Voice is only sent when the microphone level is above the threshold.
- Live level meter. See your input level next to a marker for the threshold, and whether you are currently sending.
- Release delay. The microphone stays open for a short time after you stop talking (default 250 ms), so the ends of words are not cut off.
- Saved settings. Threshold, delay and on/off are stored in the config file.
- Safe to turn off. Switching the gate off, or closing the game, restores the original microphone settings of the game.
How to use
- Press F8 in game to open the window.
- Talk normally and watch the level meter.
- Move the slider until the yellow marker is above your background noise and below your voice.
- Adjust the release delay if the end of your words gets cut off, or if noise keeps going through after you stop talking.
- Press F8 again to close the window and save.

Notes
- The mod changes the voice detection settings of the game's Photon Voice recorder. If the game or another mod changes those settings too, they can work against each other.
- Tips for the threshold: about -50 dB suits quiet rooms, -35 to -25 dB suits noisy rooms.
Requirements
- BepInEx
Known issues
- The settings live in a small window opened with a key, not in the game's own settings menu.
- After a game update the mod may stop working if the voice chat was changed. Please report it.
