Mumble mic never initializes on game build 3570 - IAudioClient fails with HR = 80070057

What is the issue you’re having?

GTA V version: latest
Up to date: Yes
Legit or Pirate copy: Legit
Purchased where: Epic Games
Windows version: Windows 11 (build 26100)
Did you try to delete content_index.xml and try again? Yes
System specifications: AMD Ryzen, USB controllers: AMD USB 3.10 + ASMedia USB 3.1
Microphone: Maono DGM20 USB (class-compliant, Microsoft USB Audio driver 10.0.26100.8972)

Issue:
On servers that enforce game build 3570, the Mumble voice input never
initializes. The log shows this from startup, before connecting to any
server, and then loops every 2 seconds indefinitely:

[Mumble] Audio Input/ MumbleAudioInput::InitializeAudioDevice:
Initializing IAudioClient for capture device failed. HR = 80070057
[Mumble] Audio Input/ ThreadFunc: HandleIncomingAudio got HRESULT
8007139f. Recreating audio device.

On servers running build 3751 the exact same setup works and the log
shows “Initialized audio capture device”. I compared 14 sessions from
the same day, same machine, same mic, same fivem.cfg:

build 3751 → works (4/4 sessions with correct format)
build 3570 → fails (7/7 sessions, never once succeeded)

The push-to-talk indicator never appears in game, so transmission never
opens. Incoming voice works fine.

Already tried:

  • Audio format 24-bit and 16-bit / 48000 Hz (16-bit made it fail on
    3751 too, 24-bit is the only one that works there)
  • Exclusive mode disabled, all audio enhancements disabled
  • Microphone privacy permissions verified (desktop apps allowed)
  • Fresh fivem.cfg (regenerated), noise suppression off
  • Reinstalled FiveM and GTA V
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the audio device driver (new endpoint GUID)
  • Different USB ports, USB selective suspend disabled
  • Windows audio services restarted, sfc /scannow
  • The mic works perfectly in Discord and in the Windows sound test

Note: the Microsoft USB Audio class driver on this machine was updated
on 22/07/2026 (version 10.0.26100.8972), which is around when the issue
started. Possibly a format negotiation regression between the newer
class driver and the 3570 build.

CitizenFX.log attached.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

  • Audio format: tried both 24-bit and 16-bit @ 48000 Hz. 16-bit made it
    fail on build 3751 as well; 24-bit is the only one that works there.
  • Disabled exclusive mode and all audio enhancements on the device.
  • Verified microphone privacy permissions, including “let desktop apps
    access your microphone”.
  • Deleted fivem.cfg and let it regenerate; disabled noise suppression.
  • Cleared cache and server-cache folders multiple times.
  • Reinstalled FiveM and GTA V.
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the audio device driver (device came back
    with a new endpoint GUID, issue unchanged).
  • Tried different USB ports, disabled USB selective suspend and USB hub
    power management.
  • Restarted Windows Audio services and ran sfc /scannow (repaired files).
  • Reset keybindings to default.
  • Confirmed the mic works correctly in Discord and in the Windows sound
    test, and that incoming voice in game works fine.

None of this changed the result: build 3570 always fails, build 3751
always works.
