Escape the backrooms mic issue

I've played Escape the backrooms since early access on PC, it's one of my favorites. When I heard it finally dropped on PS5 I rushed to join a game and immediately scared off my entire team by involuntarily blowing out their ear drums :(

It's like the sensitivity is way too high on my mic. No matter how I try to adjust, it sounds like I'm caught in a windstorm or speaking through thousands of fans. I frequently join other games where players seem to be caught in the same storm or screaming at the top of their lungs because no one can understand them. It's really hard to communicate, we don't have text chat available on console so we're limited to jumping/nodding/flashing our lights. This is only happening in game with the built-in mic on my controller and my steelseries headset. Not all players sound as awful as I do. Creating Playstation parties with friends helps but I haven't found a way around it for players in game. Has anyone been able to remedy this yet?

Wind turbine microphone in escape the backrooms (ps5 (loud warning)

Hello everyone , me and my friends got this backrooms game and it worked completely fine for a good 30 minutes.

Until we adjusted the input, no matter what we did the mic was super loud and sounded like we were next to a wind turbine.

i put the clip in, just be careful because its crazy loud

Extremely loud "turbine/static" noise in Voice Chat on PS5 – is this a known bug?

Hey everyone,

​A friend and I just picked up Escape the Backrooms on PS5 to dive into the nightmare together. However, we’ve run into a really frustrating technical issue:

​Whenever we use the built-in proximity voice chat, it sounds absolutely insane. As soon as we start talking, it sounds like an extremely loud, distorted turbine or heavy mechanical static noise in the background for both of us. It makes communicating almost impossible because the noise is so deafeningly loud.

​Has anyone else experienced this issue on the PlayStation 5 version? Is there a known fix or setting we should check, or is this a current bug with the latest update?

​Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. We’d love to actually be able to hear each other scream while running from entities!

​Thanks!
