Moo Who? Microphone Setup & Input Fixes

How do you prepare your microphone?

1. Connect the device before opening the game.
2. Select it as your system’s default input.
3. Confirm Steam is using the same microphone.
4. Allow microphone access for desktop applications.
5. Test the input meter at the volume you will use in a match.

What should you do if Moo Who? cannot hear you?

Close and reopen the game after changing input devices. Check whether another voice or recording application is holding exclusive control. Disconnect unused webcams, controllers, or headsets that may expose extra microphones.

If the device works elsewhere but not in-game, reselect it in both the operating system and Steam, then restart Steam before testing again.

How do you improve sound quality?

• Use headphones so speakers do not feed game audio back into the mic.
• Move the microphone slightly away from direct breath.
• Reduce fans, open windows, and mechanical keyboard noise where possible.
• Avoid aggressive noise suppression that cuts off short animal sounds.
• Keep your input level below clipping; louder is not automatically clearer.

How should you test an animal sound?

Choose a short sound you can repeat without changing pitch or volume. Record three attempts on your system and listen back. Consistency matters more than theatrical accuracy because hunters compare repeated performances during the round.
