What happens when the bug occurs? The game is unable to detect my microphone.
What should be happening instead? The game should detect my microphone, or let me choose the device.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure, details below
I am using an all in one headset, 3.5mm jacks into the front panel of my PC. They are recognized my audio drivers as the front panel. The game doesn't recognize a microphone, and changing to voice activation does not show any movement in the threshold selection. Even setting the proper device in Origin's own Voice settings did not fix this. See Dxdiag for other details.

a bunch of people have this problem. what worked for me was as follows
Step 1: have the game open and close it
Step 2: disable and re enable your mic in windows
Step 3: do a mic test in origin
Step 4: launch the game and do another mic test in origin thru the overlay
and the mic should now be working in game
