Game changes microphone gain at launch

Modify configuration file[3]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Create a new file and name it autoexec.cfg
  3. Open the new file with your text editor of choice and add voice_mixer_volume 0.5
  4. Set the value to whatever you prefer your mic volume to be, I set mine to 0.5 which translates to 50% gain
