When im calling friends on discord, every now and then it'll suddenly decide to just stop letting my mic work.
This happens everywhere and seems to only be caused by discord as far as im aware.


It also doesnt happen all the time, sometimes itll just not happen and other times itll happen constantly.
What usually fixes it is restarting my PC, but the day after itll happen again.

Im using the Arctis 5 with the little audio wheel, its plugged into the front of my PC with USB 3.1.
I never have issues with my own audio but only the microphone seems to cut out.
