A typical reason behind mic glitch in PUBG Mobile is due to damaged headphones or earphones. In this case, cable damage or internal damage might also cause the issue of your mic not working while playing. To counter this, try to use the same headphones in another device and verify its functionality. If it gives the same problem in the other phone as well, then consider replacing it with new ones.


2. Turn on the mic from the in-game settings

When the mic is not functioning properly, it does not always mean that it has an issue. Sometimes, the player mistakenly turns off the mic option from the game settings. This prohibits the device from recording your voice, causing in-game communication issues. To resolve this, look for the microphone button located near the minimap (top right side of the screen) and turn it on. Also, make sure that the microphone volume is set to high by visiting the audio settings of PUBG Mobile.


3. Permit PUBG Mobile to record audio
