Way to see if your mic is currently active in solo mode

playerunknowns-battlegrounds

I've played a game recently where when I got Top5, I was camping and heard a 'click-click-click'.

The guy that was coming up to try and fight me had his mic picking up every keystroke and I could hear him coming via proximity chat.

Now I'm paranoid; does my mic pick up ambient sound when I'm playing?

In squads, you can see your own mic when it's picking up (there's a little speaker icon next to your name) but in solo, that part of the UI is not there.

So is there a way to see if your mic is currently active in solo mode?

As far as I can tell, there is no way to tell if your mic is broadcasting in Solo. Really, there is no reason for you to want to talk to anyone in a solo match, so a few things you can do to mitigate the issue are:

  • Mute your mic on your system, or if your mic/headset has a button to mute it, use that
  • Have push to talk enabled (T by default) in the game settings. That way, your voice will only be broadcasted when you push to talk
  • Turn your voice output volume down to 0 in the game settings
  • Change your voice chat channel to either "None" or "Team Only" in the game settings
